Sunny .....

7th April 2026 (Tuesday) .... 09.00 .... It's a beautiful Spring morning ; a 'get up and go' morning. 

I'm going to Leven and Methil;  Methil to annoy Alice, before we go shopping in Leven.     I might be tempted to take 'The Buggy' out in the afternoon, but that depends on how busy the roads are.   It's 7C just now, so could be really warm in the afternoon.   Off to have another cuppa.

19.00    It has been a nice sunny day, but there's a chilly wind off the North Sea, so colder than we need!    The shopping trip to Methil and Leven went well,,   The roadworks, (with temporary traffic lights) in Lundin Links, are a nuisance:  it wasn't too bad on the way to Methil, but I had two five minute stops, on the way to the traffic light, on the way home.   The queue was back as far as The Old manor.   That was frustrating.

I eventually got back to Ivy, and moored up' at the gate, so didn't have far to carry the messages!   The first thing I did was pit the kettle 'on';  then brought in the messages.   I was sound asleep about half an hour later.   I must have been tired because I slept for nearly an hour;  and woke up to a cold cuppa.   It went into the microwave for 50 seconds! .... the hot tea, along with a 'goodie' woke me up.

I haven't done very much this afternoon;  but have managed to switch the kettle 'on' now and again ... and make dinner.    

22.00   The top photo, courtesy BBC News Channel, refers to a statement made by  the President of the USA... and  Leader of the Western world!    It saddens me, that the people around him  accept this as good, and normal, thinking.

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...
