Chilly air .....

17th April 2024 (Wednesday)     09.30 .... It's a nice enough morrrrrrrrning but there's a chilly

breeze from the North.   Anyway today is going to be a 'relax and unwind' day;  and it started well .... I slept until 07.45.   I must have been a tired boy after the stress of the last couple o' days.   No 'plan' for today.... though I might go round the villages on the bike if the air warms up.     

14.30   There's little chance of me going out on the bike;  the air is colder that it was this morning, due to the wind freshening and we've had a heavy shower o' rain.   I've been working on the computer generally relaxing.   Myra left a message to remind me that the Friendship Lunch was at Colinsburgh today, but I was outside and by the time I picked up the message Myra would be at Colinsburgh.   Imagine me missing out on lunch;  sadly the car is in 'dry dock'.   I won't go out on the bike today, but I might take a walk up to the seat at the 17 th green later; it's protected from a North wind.

20.30    It was hot in the back garden this afternoon (where the patio is going to be) so I am hoping that the weather is kind tomorrow so that I can start painting the shed you see in the photograph.   Funnily enough painting the shed and the Hutte is one of the few jobs I can comfortably do...slowly.  I 'set up my 'scaffolding'' this afternoon!   

Lovely evening ... but cold!
I haven't heard from the garage: but I'm hoping they will manage to do the car before the weekend.  The forecast isn't bad for the weekend.... more or less typical April weather..... so I could get around on the bike.  I didn't go out on the bike today because of the cold wind....  and the chance of heavy showers.

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...

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.

Windy and wet .....

4th August 2025 (Monday)    08.45 ....  It's breezy with light rain just now;  but the rain is going to move away and the wind freshen to 'gale', with sunny intervals and squally showers, by midday.   There could interesting clouds, and stormy seas.    I won't be going out on the bike!    High tide is at 11.20;  there will be an abundance of fresh air on the beach today.  11.00  The wind is freshening, from the SW, as can be seen in the photo of the 'Glenfuir' flags (Swiss, USA and Jersey).    Sunny intervals are starting to come over, so it's a bonnie enough day now, albeit breezy:  F5 - 6 with stronger gusts now and again. 19.30  It has certainly been a wild old day, but the wind is moderating, and tomorrow will be much quieter.   It was F8 - 9 at times out on the bay.   Which is why HMS Iron Duke (Type 23 frigate) is sheltering off Elie and Earlsferry.      HMS Iro...
