Bright and breezy .....

4th May 2026 (Monday)      10.45 .... I overslept this morning, because I watched  the film ('movie'

nowadays) '1917' , and that didn't end until 23.50.   I was in bed by 040030.    It' shows the horrors of WW1 at the beginning, but sort of loses it half way through;  but is an interesting WW1 film.   Anyway we have a bonnie, sunny, and warm, morning here in KY9;  with a moderate drying breeze.   And, the washing is on the line.    I don't really have a 'plan' for today, but I might go out after morning coffee, and after the pills have kicked in.Ferry Road has been quiet, but that might be because I slept in and missed the 'Ferry Road' rush hour(s).

17.15    Elie High Street parking places were full of  parked cars when I went up to the Chemist to hand in my prescription;  even the disabled one!    However I parked in the 'Keep Clear' space next to the Disabled space;  then found out that the Chemist was 'Closed'.    Probably because they'd remembered that it was a Bank holiday!    I thought about going to the harbour, then thought again;  '"The High Street is busy:  whet will it be like, down at the harbour?"    I came home by way of  Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.    There was a queue outside LJ's (Ice Cream shop).   I even considered joining that and having an ice cream;  then remembered that I'm trying to avoid crowds.    I came home by way of Balbuthie ans Kinneuchar Station road end.... again!

My late night eventually caught up with me;  I feel sound asleep watching the snooker!    And I mean sound.    I slept for nearly an hour.;  and I'll be in bed early tonight! 

I have the Final session of the snooker to watch this evening:  it's a close 'up and down' match between two brilliant snooker players.    One of them will come out on top this evening.

As you can see from today's photographs we've had a bonnie, sunny, and warm day.  There's a big difference when the breeze isn't  off the North Sea.

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.

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...
