Sunny and warm .....

10th August 2026 (Monday .... At last I've got round to updating The Hutte;  after an eventful
night;  and  things to do this morning, because of the eventful night.     Anyway, I called out the Para Medics, in the middle of the night, because I had a really bad breathing event,  when I went for a 'pee' at 01.00.    And I didn't have my Blue Inhaler with me!    Having this 'bug' and asthma is not a good combination when it comes to the breathing tubes.  

 I went back to bed thinking it would calm  but it didn't so I eventually  dialled '999' about 02.00!    Three lady NHS Para Medics (from Glenrothes) arrived about 02.30:  and they were absolutely brilliant   Not only did they arrive much sooner than I expected, but they gave me a really good check over.   The result of all this is that I have an appointment with Dr Miller at Elie Surgery this afternoon.    I'm going to have a cuppa!    

18.30    'Flap Over'....I've seen Dr Miller, and now have pills to combat the 'bug' I had.... and a new Blue Inhaler.   An asthmatic can never be without a Blur Inhaler!   All is quiet at Ivy again. 

Although I feel 'guilty' \about calling '999';  it was the right thing to do.   I didn't know what was happening  to this auld (ish) body:  and I couldn't think of anything else to do!    One thing I do know is that the Para Medics that came from Glenrothes last night are three Gems, and  a credit to the NHS.    They calmed me down, then  did their job systematically and efficiently;   I relaxed as my breathing  improved ..... and began to enjoy their company.  

I hope I never have to dial '999' again, to see the Glenrothes Para Medic lassies again:  (but, if I had to I certainly wouldn't be frightened to do it!}    I wouldn't mind bumping into them in ASDA's, or someplace like that.

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...

1st November 2019 (Friday)       07.00 .... Mmmmm ... it’s cauld and wet Mmmmm .... not the perfect weather for the beach. as per weather forecast;   a real dreich morning.      I am feeling considerably brighter than the weather and looking forward to morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse..... then spending the rest of the day mostly working on the computer, and doing Soduko’s.    I might bake Melting Moments..... baking and sampling 'MM's is always a cheering occupation on a dreich day. 09.00    The sky to the West is showing promising changes in greyness;   could we be in for a few bright spells?    “Light rain showers and a gentle breeze” is the forecast for today.... but a bright spell would be very welcome.    I haven’t been anywhere further than the pavement when manoeuvring the bucket into its ‘ready for emptying’ position.   I’ll have another cuppa then ‘loup’ into the car an...

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.
