Light cloud .....

26th December 2025 (Friday)     10.30 ..... When I first went out this morning  (08.15) we had a

breaking sky with blue patches, and a clear sky to the South of the Firth.   Since then light cloud has drifted in on the NE breeze.... with nae bloo bits in sight just now.   However, I'm hoping for sunny spells in the afternoon.   The 'plan' was to get 'The Buggy' out and have a turn 'round the Ferry', but I'll have to see how the weather develops.    It's time for morning coffee and some 'nibbles'.  

22.30     We had a short spell when the cloud had some blue patches late in th afternoon, but I don't remember having any actual sunny spells.   Any time i went out the cold air hit me so I never went further than walking to the car to have a run up to Kinneuchar.   When I got there I discovered that I'd forgotten to pick up the camera:  now that was very annoying.    The only photie I took toady was the one above, of the brighter patch of cloud.

Tomorrow's weather is going to be, more or less, a repeat of today's:  brighter first thing then clouding over with a slightly brighter end to the afternoon.

Crail kirk.
Iain, Jackie, and Catriona were on Messenger in the afternoon.   I could hardly hear them speaking for the clicking of knitting needles:  Catriona was knitting!    When I asked how the 'Secret Wood' was, she replied;  "what secret wood"?   Imagine forgetting about the 'Secret Wood'!   The happy news is that Catriona is 'in love' with a young gentleman from Alford;  and the Secret Wood is all mine!  Do I need the 'Secret Weed'?   

Tomorrow looks like being another 'rest day' for me;  it all depends on how the weather is.    I might have a short walk if it isn't too cold.

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.
