Bright and breezy ....

18th August 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 ..... I've been 'up and running'(?) since 06.45 this morning, thinking of going to Nana's Seat for an early morning 'walk';  but it's to windy and cold to be out in the open.    It's a nice enough morning, with April Showers forecast;  that means 'sunny spells' in between the showers.    I'll most likely work in the, hopefully cosy, 'Hutte'.  There's 'work' that I want, and need, to do.  

Today is the start of a spell of colder weather according to the BBC weather lassie (Elizabeth Rizzini) this morning.   We need a spell of warm weather to shake of the winter ailments.   I'm going to venture out to check the thermometer.

19.00    Apart from a couple of squally showers in the afternoon, we've had a nice day at KY9;  right enough it has been breezy with a bit windchill so not as warm as  I'd like.    However it was warm in 'The Hutte'.   And I made a load of progress:  drawing, and going out with the camera, are my ways of getting rid of stress.   

I didn't go out with the camera today;  I was more interested in staying in and warm.  Actually I think my cold has 'broken' so I'm having a 'Janice Toddie' at bedtime.    Janice Toddies's have to be made with Malt whisky! ... it will be 'Tamnavulin' tonight!

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...
