Overcast and damp .....

7th December 2025 (Sunday)    10.15....  I've been watching 'The Weatherman Walking in Wales,

and that was followed by 'Countryfile';  both interest programmes.    Now? .... it's time to  catch up with our 'today'!

We have a dull and damp start to Sunday, with not much happening .... even the birds seem to be 'waiting' for something to happen.    I'll put some more crumbs out for 'Blob' and friends after this update.   At the moment the weather is more or less the same as it was yesterday at this time, and it's not very promising looking.   "Heavy rain with a moderate breeze" is forecast for KY9, so I probably won't be going far;  on foot anyway.   

12.30    I eventually went for a run in the car.   I meant to stop at the paper shop but there was a lot of traffic manoeuvring at the time , so I did the Balbuthie/ Kinneuchar run instead;  and Colinsburgh Petrol station.    There's nice 'light' about so I took a few photies tae 'play with'  later.   There has been a fair amount of rain overnight because there's a lot of it lying about!

18.30    The rain that was forecast didn't arrive until late in the afternoon, but It is certainly raining now.   Ferry Road looked like a river when I was out there half an hour ago.   It, Ferry Road should look very clean tomorrow morning.   

The rain should start to become 'light rain soon,  then slowly fade away by tomorrow morning; with 'sunny spells' to follow, in the afternoon.   I'm a happy 'boy';  I like 'sunny spells'.  

10.45   The rain has stopped but, my word, there had been a lot of water tun down Ferry Road since the rain started. 

I've been watching the Snooker;  it's a fascinating game when you see it being played by the top level players.   I can't play the game,  but it's an interest spectator sport.

I have no 'plan' for tomorrow;  but I'd like to catch the PO van to post my overseas Christmas cards. 


And I must remember to get stamps (at the Paper Shop) in the morning.    I want all the Christmas cards done by Thursday.   "Slight Flap On" for the next few days.

I wish I'd been able to get a photie of the water running down Ferry Road.  It has been an interesting day!

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.
