Heavy cloud ....

23rd December 2025 (Wednesday)     16.00    We've had another grey and damp day.    Oh,

apologies for the late update;  I have been a busy boy (hard to believe I know.   First the Nurse phoned to say that I was due a catheter change, and that she would be along to do that shortly;  this was at 09.00.   Jill (Nurse) arrived  about an hour later.   Alice, whom was coming along by bus, arrived not long after Jill left;  by which time I was nearly organised and had the kettle 'on'.   She arrived bearing goodies (Empire biscuits bought at Barnett's the Baker's);  we had them had with the cuppa I had planned.   Alice and I them sorted out the World (again) before having lunch.

When I'd first looked out this morning I saw that the sky was more promising looking:  however it wasn't long before heavy cloud drifted in from the North Sea and we had a repeat of yesterday's weather.   The change was disappointing but not unexpected.

Pittenweem.
20.30   This has been an enjoyable day, albeit a tiring one.   Tomorrow will be a 'rest day'.    Actually Alice wouldn't be as far as Colinsburgh in the bus before I was sound asleep , with a cup o' tea , slowly cooling on the table beside me'.    I'm going to bed early tonight;  and I'll have a 'JT' to give me a good night's sleep.   

No 'plan' for tomorrow;  I think the weather is going to me much as it was today, but with lighter cloud and the chance of a sunny spell late in the afternoon.


I didn't take any photographs today, so had a quick browse for a couple of 'sunny ones.   The top one is a Small Copper;  taken at Tentsmuir in 2010.   I'm hoping to feel 'bright eyed and bushy  tailed'  tomorrow.

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.
