NIce morning ....

24th May 2026 (Sunday)     10.00 .... As per weather forecast, we have a lovely, sunny and

Evening rime clouds/
warm  morning.    There is  a sort of layer  of thin cloud, so the sun isn't hot;   as it will be if the cloud burns off.  The joggers have been out, and lots of folk wandering down to the beach;  a nice holiday morning!   Oh.... nearly forgot;  there's a light SW breeze to keep us cool.

19.00    It has been an absolute cracker of a Spring day, and loads of people have been raking advantage  of, what has been more like a day in the middle of summer actually!    I  even had a seat in the sun, but ended up going into 'The Hutte', and doing research .... and Soduko's.    That reminds me I set a Soduko up and have it to finish;  that will be the mission after this update.    I eventually had to abandon The Hutte because, even with the door wide open, and the blinds half down, to keep out the sun, the temperature got up to 28C.    I went into Ivy to cool off with an ice cream.     When out in The Hutte I always have a water bottle handy.    Must keep hydrated in this kind of weather.

This weather is all very well;  but it d doesn't water the flower  rubs, so I have that to do before the evening is out.  This dry weather is going to be with us for most of this week;   and maybe into the next.  Could this be our 'Summer?    I don't know about that, but I know that I have tubs that will need water!  

21.45    The tubs have been watered;  but they'll need to be done every day in this weather.   That's 'work' ... as in real 'work', not pottering around in The Hutte 'work'.   I feel tired just thinking about it.   Anyway it has been a lovely day, and I have enjoyed the change.   I thought about going out on 'The Buggy' early tomorrow morning, but perhaps I should leave that until Tuesday.   I'll see how I feel.

The 'on/ off'  Peace Deal for the Middle East is back 'on' again;  let's all hope that it comes to

Eider duck.
something this time.... and is a lasting peace for the Middle East.   In Europe we have the Russian invasion of Ukraine war, blundering on.   Going by the number of Russian and Ukraine soldiers killed;  Ukraine would appear to be winning, having killed the most soldiers.    I feel sorry for the families, on both sides, that have lost loved ones, in both wars.   We live in crazy times.

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...
