Bright and breezy .....



19th December 2025 (Friday)    10.00 .... It's a lovely morning;  loads o' fresh air coming

over on a brisk SW wind.   It's a good drying day but showers could scuttle across on this wind:  I have a washing in the machine, but whether it gets hung out depends on how dark the clouds look.

I would say that I am not at my most frolicsome this morning:  I'm still a bit stiff from my wandering around over the past couple of days.    That said,  the air is good, and I want to go out:  I might have a walk to the golf course after morning coffee.   This is going to be a proper 'rest day'.

18.30    It had been day of mixed weather;  breezy with some heavy showers in the afternoon.    But a nice day for this time of year;  not as cold as the 'old fashioned' winter days.   Luckily I'd decided to forget about doing the washing:   I didn't mean to ..... I just forgot all about that bit of today's plan!   Tomorrow might be a better washing day!

I've had a restful day though, but did a wee bit ;o' ousework to stop me feeling guilty.   The parcel  I was expecting, arrived (in fact there were two) in the middle of the afternoon;  so I settled down to watch the snooker after the postie had been.    I didn't have to worry about falling asleep:  which I did....  and missed the end of the first quarter final.   Although I fell asleep I haven't slept as much as I did yesterday.  Hopefully that means I've almost recovered from all the walking I did on Wednesday.

It'a an early night in bed for me tonight;  in fact I might have a 'JT' ;  they always give me good nights sleep,.... and I usually feel frisky next day.   There' isn't a 'plan' for tomorrow;  not yet anyway.   I'll finish writing Christmas cards , the plan a wee run delivering them.

Kirsty tole me that the temporary traffic lights will be in place until Monday:  if I go anywhere

This morning.
tomorrow morning it will be Westward.   Parking up at the shops in Elie didn't look promising.

I'm going to have a cuppa .... and a goodie, then catch up with the 'News'.  And the weather forecast.

The top two photographs were taken yesterday.

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.
