Nice morning ....

3rd December 2025 (Wednesday)     09.00 ..... We can look forward to "sunny intervals with a

light southerly breeze', for the whole of today;  no mention of showers.   This means it could be a good drying day for the downie cover going through the machine just now.  However, in spite of the wind direction, there's a chilly air;  at the moment it's 5.4C.    A nice day ahead, but with a bit of wind chill.

14.30    The 'drying day I hoped for has been a bit of a bummer;  a whole  an hour and half of a  heavy rain 'shower' put paid to that.   Unfortunately I had gone to 'The Store' so wasn't in a position to bring in  the downie: there's still a bit of a drying breeze so I'll bring it in last thing in the afternoon.   'The Store' mission was successful, so I'm a 'happy boy'.    That said, the busy day I had yesterday caught up with me, and I've spent most of the afternoon sleeping.   Now? .....I 'm buzzin' around like bloo bottle bangin' it's heid aff a window pane.  An afternoon coffee is called for.

23.00    I've been watching the snooker (and cat napping) and this is the latest I've gone to bed for a few weeks.    'The Team' , (Kirsty, Myra and me)are going to 'The Ship for lunch tomorrow, so I'll have another quiet day tomorrow, and be back to my 'normal' on Friday.   I've enjoyed today, even though I haven't actually done very much physical work.     The photie is of the last super moon of 2025;  the actual 'full moon' will be 'full' tomorrow;  but I don't know if we'll see it.... hence tonight's photograph.

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.
