Overcast and damp ....

20th February 2026 (Friday)      09.45 .... It's a grey and damp morning, but in should be

brighter in the afternoon.   The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky with a bright Southwest, so that should come our way eventually.    I'm trying to get myself into some kind of 'work' mood, but     I can't even get into 'Flap On' mode!   I'll have an early coffee, and a goodie, after this update.

13.45    The sky brightened up, to give us a few sunny spells;  so I had a run round the villages in the car, stopping at The Toft and harbour to get a few 'today' photies.    The villages are busy with holiday makers, but they are mostly heavily wrapped up holiday makers.... because it isn't as warm yet,  as it is forecast to be this weekend.

I'd say that progress with Iain's bed, is slow and steady;  when I'm actually doing it.   That hasn't been very often so far today.   And, it's now it's siesta time!    It's good job he's going to the Dentist (Aberdeen) on the way down.

17.15   Iain has a bed;  he arrived early and that was the first place he went... to make up his bed.   Since then we've had a couple o'cuppas and a good old catch up.   And Iain has just set up his laptop in his bedroom so all is good at Ivy now.  No it isn't;  I've got an itchy lug;  I'll have to take the hearing aid out to give the lug a 'poke'with a tissue.

21.45    The weather has been reasonable today.... and the villages busy.   Iain and I have not made a 'plan' for tomorrow,   The weather is going to be much the same as today.... but much milder, with the chance of light rain now and again.

I'm wondering why I feel so tired tonight;  then I realised that I didn't have my afternoon siesta.  I should sleep well tonight.    We watched President Trump talking to news reporters after the Supreme Court of America said that the tariffs he has imposed are illegal!    He is not a happy President.  

For some reason I don't think Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is a 'happy bunny', going by the
photograph of him leaving Aylsham Police Station last night.   The last time I saw eyeballs like that, they were attached to a rabbit, in the headlights of the car.
I put the kettle on a while ago;  that means it must now be time to make our bedtime cuppa.

Today's photies:   All three taken from The Toft this morning.

Top - Ponies on the beach;  that must be a sign that Spring isn't far away.

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...
