Windy and cauld ....

28th November 2025 (Friday)       09.15 ....  It's sunny, windy, and cold (7.4C just now).    When

I got out of bed, at 06.45, I was feeling frisky;  since then, the frisky feeling has dropped faster than the temperature, and  this is now a 'rest day'.    When the frisky feeling was on me I was contemplating driving to Leven and Methil;  now I'll go as far as the 'Paper Shop'.   Another cuppa is next on the 'to do' list;  before I go anywhere.

12.00    There's a bit of a breeze this morning .... looks like F9 out in the Firth.   With the wind being so strong it's cold out in the open.    It would be a nice day if it wasn't windy.

I've been for the paper and a few more bits and pieces, then came home by way of Woodhaven Bay, Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.. 

15.00    The wind was wild out at Woodhaven;  though, being well wrapped only my face and hands were cold.... but that was only for the short time I was pout of the car!    It was much less windy at my usual parking spot outside Kinneuchar.    For some reason the Balbuthie road was busy.

Iain is hoping to arrive  sometime this afternoon;  he can't leave home until a tradesman comes to look at a job  that Iain and Jackie are wanting done.   I'm organised for him (aye even the bed is ready), but  it depends on when the tradesman turns up .   I imagine that, if it's too late he'll leave travelling until early tomorrow morning.

The thermometer got up to 9.5C this afternoon.   It must have been really chilly on the beach and golf course!   It's 7.4C now (well five minutes ago).   And it's spitting rain.   I brought the washing in half an hour ago! 

22.30    Iain arrived about 15.00 ish.    We have caught up with all the family 'News';  and sorted out the World .... again.     Tomorrow we're going to Leven to do some shopping, and tidy up The Hutte, so that I can use it again.

The wind has moved away and we have a peaceful night ahead;  and we should have a quieter and slightly warmer day to morrow.

7th May 2025 (Wednesday)    08.15 .... "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is today's weather forecast for.... KY9, Ellon, Uckfield (Sussex) and London:  it's going to be a bonnie day all over the UK.  The breeze is from the Easterly direction so the East coast will be cooler; but it will be warm sheltered from the breeze.   It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning at Elie and Earlsferry:  the sky is a mix of fluffy clouds and blue bits, and the temperature is 11.6C just now.   3.3C was the minimum overnight.  20.30     I'd been reading about the cyber attack on M & S, Harrods and the Co-op... so, feeling inquisitive, for my morning 'mission' I decided to go to The Store (Ainster) and see how the 'attack' was affecting our local 'Store'.   The first thing I noticed was the car park wasn't as busy as normal and all the Disabled spaces were empty.  Inside the store,  the empty vegetable and fruit...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...

3rd October 2025 (Friday)     10.30 .... It's a quiet morning; after a lot of overnight rain this is the calm before the storm.... 'Storm Amy', that is going to bring strong winds and heavy rain, this afternoon and Saturday.  It could be a good drying morning!   Anyway all is still at the moment.   I'm going to see if I can rescue a few of the apples that are still attached to the tree.    Actually I think I'll have morning coffee first. 04 12.30    We had a power cut  (45 minutes) last night ,so I unplugged the computer.    We got the torches and candles out, chatted for a while then went to bed.
