Nice morning .....

2nd December 2025 (Tuesday)     08.15 .... We have a'bright and breezy' morning;  with a drop

Dysart.
in temperature, and wind chill .   I don't think the beach will be busy just now;   and I'm not going down to find out.   The washing is flapping nicely in the wind so, barring being caught by a shower, it should dry today.    'Sunny, with a moderate breeze' is the weather forecast.   I'm going to Methil to annoy Alice;  and we might go down to Leven to the High Street shops,    Must 'go'... slight 'Flap On' .... need an early morning dose of caffeine. 

19.15    It has been a lovely sunny day;  yes it has been cold in the wind, but it was also good drying wind so Alberto is one happy boy tonight.   The washing I left out last night is ready to be ironed.

My trip to visit Alice, and the Leven High Street shops was so successful, and enjoyable, that I fancied a run along to Dysart harbour.   Today is the furthest I have driven for a couple of months.   And I enjoyed it.   The Car Park at Dysart was busy;  it was a lovely day and folk were out enjoying the sunshine.
Today is also the first time I have been up the High Street (Leven) since I got a parking ticket.   (£60 ... or £30 if paid within 14 days).   That was just over a year ago.   I decided that the Leven High shops would pay the fine multiple times over by not using them for at least a year.   I enjoyed that bit.

We had lunch at Alice's HQ after we got back from Dysart.   Lorraine (Alice's next door neighbour) came in so we had a good old blether about all the exciting things that happen in their neighbourhood.   Loraine males the best tablet I have tasted in a long time.

Largo Road (the East Neuk road in and out of Leven) is being dug up again, with temporary traffic lights controlling the traffic flow.  I don't know what is going on with that road but it's had a load of work done over the past few years.


Having been busy all morning it was only natural that I would fall asleep when I got home:  so I had a lazy afternoon.   And had migraine, brought on by the sun  blinking through the trees and hedges on the way home.   That said, I have enjoyed myself today, but will probably be tired for the next couple of days!   The plan is to start writing my Christmas cards and get the ones I need to post done by the end of the week.

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.
