Cloudy and damp .....

14th December 2025 (Sunday)     12.00 ..... I've been a busy boy this morning;  it's not a

morning for me bring outside so I've actually been doing 'ousework.    The weather is of the gloomy kind , but at least it's dry and the sky is showing slightly promising signs.    We could have  a few sunny spells in th afternoon.

The "News", of a multiple shooting in Sydney (Australia) is horrifying;  and that's just after a multiple shooting in Rhode Island (USA).   'Hatred and war' instead of 'love and peace'  is on the rise all round our beautiful Planet;  and it should, not only be a beautiful plane, but also a peaceful one;  if only we had politicians that used the word 'Peace' more often!   We even have European politicians talking of  making ready for war. (with Russia).  Actually, I'd be interested to hear what kind of protection will be put in place for the civilian population(s), in the event of WWIII breaking out.   The short answer is of course;  'none'.  Well, perhaps a leaflet;  like the 'Protect and Survive'' one of the Cold War.;  and, that was a laugh.  

I'm feeling quite playful now so the air must be clearing;  I might go for a run up to Balcarres in the afternoon, and do some more 'work' in the evening.   Having said that;  I've just noticed that the sky is darkening again so I might not be going out... even in the car.

22.00    This has been a sad day;  murdering innocent people will achieve absolutely nothing except an increase in hatred.    It's going to take clever politicians to  sort it all out, and bring 'Peace' to a dangerous World.   

Tomorrow is going to be a day of 'light cloud' with a chance of some sunny spells later in the afternoon;  but rain isn't mentioned.   I remember to catch the PO van tomorrow, and I'll do some shopping when I'm in Elie.    Might even get a few photies hen up there.

Today's photies were taken 21 years ago: I fancied some sunshine!    We  (Jimmy and I) had sailed over to West Wemyss then round Largo Bay .   Happy days.

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.  ...

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.
