Light cloud ....



15th December 2025 (Monday)     09.30 .... It's a quiet kind of morning, cloudy with only a

light breeze but at least it's not raining:   there is rain to the South of us (NE England), but it should stay there.    The air has a chilly feel to it and it's never going to be 'warm' today.  

Carol (BBC Weather lassie) told us that tomorrow is going to be sunny.....  and a good drying day!  Actually Carol didn't say 'good drying day';  that was my bit of weather forecasting!

19.30   We've had a nice enough day;  with sunny spells in the afternoon.... and a bonnie sunset.

I had a few cards to post, hence the photie of the Post Office van.   And I did some 'ousework.   Emily and John were coming up on Wednesday but had to cancel because Henry has 'bug'.   Right enough ,it's the time of year for bugs.    Anyway they will be coming up in the Spring when the weather is warmer;  and there's fewer bugs going  around.   In fact I have been sneezing so I probably will end up with a cold.   I'll have a 'JT' at bedtime and that will shake off any bugs.   I'm going to the Vic to have a hearing aid test.... or whatever it is called.   I'll most likely end up with an hearing aid.

With Emily and John and the boys (Henry and Austin) not coming at this time,  I went up to Elie in the afternoon to post their Christmas card.   That was at the bonniest part of 'today' so I went to The Toft.... and the harbour.    The streets were quiet, as was the harbour.   Having dais that the harbour was quiet;  when I was leaving it a couple of brave people, were running down to the water to have a swim.

Tomorrow does look like being a good drying day..."sunny intervals with a moderate SW breeze".   I'll get the shower towels out.

I must take the Christmas cards  that I want delivered by the Rotary, along to Ian  at the 'Paper Shop' tomorrow. ... and, if the weather is fine and not too cold I might get 'The Buggy' out and do a delivery run.   Mind you I'd better nurse this 'cold' before I go for my hearing test on Wednesday afternoon.  A  'Janice Toddie' is an excellent cold remedy:  I should be fine for Wednesday.

22.15   I'm disappointed that 'The Troops' aren't coming on Wednesday, but it's the right thing to do. 
Colds and the other bugs are rife all around the country just now;  and I'm never at my best at this time of year, especially when the weather is damp.    The boys will enjoy the beach in the summer. 

I might have a quiet day finishing off the Christmas cards;  and doing a washing 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.
