Bright and breezy ....



10th December 2025 (Wednesday)     10.45 ....  We have a nice, sunny and breezy morning;  and

it's not as cold as I expected it to be.   There's a drying wind so I've hung out a small washing (it will probably get an extra rinse from the showers that are forecast).   The 'drying'  wind is mopping up the water that  was lying around;  but there's more rain to come.   It's the 'Atlantic Lows' season.   I'll have a cuppa before going for the paper.  

15.30    It had been a breezy old day;  with heavy showers now and again.   Yes .... the washing had had another couple of rinses.   It's only a small washing so I'm not that bothered;  it's to be a better 'drying day' tomorrow.   I think ... er hope!

AS planned I went to Elie to pick up my prescription  and get the paper.     By the time I left the Chemist I'd decided to go down the Toll Green Post Box, so the paper was forgotten about.   Jock and Honor were taking in shopping when I was there, so I delivered their Christmas card, and chatted to Jock, for a couple o' minutes before going down to The Toft.

It was windy at the Toft but not cold for this time of year, even with the wind chill.   As you can see from the top photie we had an interesting sky.   It actually started to spit rain just after I'd taken that photo,  so I did some rapid snapping then galloped(?) back to the car.

With it spitting rain I didn't go as far as  the harbour, but went up Admiralty Lane then home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.

20.00    I feel like I've done a day's work;  which surprises me 'cos I didn't do very much in the afternoon.   I read the Gas and Electricity meters gto send in readings;  I suppose that could be stressful.   Anyway, apart from being tired I have enjoyed myself.    

The washing got a few extra rinses, but it should dry tomorrow.    'Sunny spells with a fresh breeze is the

forecast.    If it (the washing) is still  wet in the morning, I'll bring it in and spin it then hang it out again.   Tomorrow's plan?    Emily, John, Henry and Austin  are coming next Wednesday for a pre Christmas visit so I'm going to take a 'day off'tomorrow, to pop along to Methil to annoy Alice.  On Friday I'll finish off the Chrissy stuff, and do some ooverin' and dustin:  sort of get ready for the 'troops' coming.

Quiet morning ....

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.  ...

Overcast ....

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.
