Nice morning ....


Main Street, Kinneuchar.
14th September 2026 (Monday)     10.15 .... We have a sunny and warm morning here in KY9. 

 And we had a wee bit of excitement;  a Speckled Wood butterfly in the kitchen.   It might have waited until I'd cleaned the windows!   Anyway it has been photographed, and released.   I saw it fluttering around the Hutte yesterday, but it never settled.

12.30    Michael and I have been up to Kinneuchar to take a few photographs from, and in, the kirkyard.    Including the headstone, erected by Jimmy Braid,  golfer, and 5 times winner of The Open, in Memory of his Father and Mother. 

20.30      We have had a busy day!   Well, Michael has been busy;  he organised dinner, a casserole, in the Slow Cooker, before we went up to Kinneuchar on our mission for the morning:  and it tantalised us with hunger provoking aromas as soon as we got back to Ivy.   We had been looking forward to dinner; and really ready for for food when we eventually sat down to dinner ,including Michael's own make of dough-balls, and it was absolutely delicious.   'Puku'  (Maori for stomach) has no wrinkles tonight!    I was too excited to take a photograph of my plateful of lip smacking casserole!   

Speckled Wood.
In the afternoon I worked on my computer while Michael a spot of 'work from home'.   I took time out to work on a Soduko out in The Hutte, but kept falling asleep;  actually it has bee quite sultry today, so falling asleep was easy!

The two handrails that Michael ordered from Amazon arrived today;  so they will be fixed to the walls above the bath so that I have something to hold on to when going for a shower;  probably tomorrow.   Depends on what tomorrow's 'plan' is.   I'd like to go to Kinneuchar kirk again, but a wee bit earlier than we were today.


23.30    I'm happy with the progress I've made with 'computer stuff' today;  and I should get more  done tomorrow.    Light showers with sunny intervals is the weather forecast for us tomorrow.    That's good;  I should get the photographs I want at Kinneuchar kirk.

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...

12th June 2026 (Friday)     09.30 ..... It's a lovely morning... and a good drying day!     Michael and Janice will be getting ready to go to Uckfield Station.   Me? .... I had the best night's unbroken sleep in years last night:  I put the light out at 22.45 and woke up at 06.45!     And I had a long hot shower so I'm feeling rested, and  'playful'  this morning.    That said I have the car to 'worry' about;  however the garage will take care of that, and I should get it back in plenty of time to go for Janice and Michael.  Unfortunately I couldn't do the shopping I wanted to do!    That will have to be done tomorrow.     10.00    Apart from putting the downie inside it's cover, Michael and Janice have a bed to fall into tonight!   I'm going to celebrate that by having morning coffee! 11.30     The car is back at the gate.    I...
