Sunny and warm ....

29th May 2026 (Friday)     11.15 ..... It's a lovely  morning and Ferry Road had been busy;  mostly

because there's crane working at the West End of Ferry High Street.   When I set off to go to Elie I went up the High Street, making for Chapel Green, but had to reverse into Cadger's Wynd and drive (the wrong way) back down the High Street.    Anyway, I eventually reached Elie, handed in a prescription, then went to the 'paper shop';  Elie was busy!    I came back via St Ford, and found temporary traffic lights at the former farm cottages;  but, if the road is clear, they change automatically, so I didn't have to wait!   It's all go around Elie and Earlsferry this morning.   I need a cuppa!


17.15    Iain arrived at 11.15 (ish) ;  so we had a cuppa and came up with a plan for today.     We would go to Sainsbury's after lunch  to do the shopping.   In the meantime, after morning coffee Iain went up to Chapel green  to see if there were any insects active.   The sun was going in and out behind clouds, and there was a frisky breeze so it wasn't the best kind of day for  insects flying, but he got a few.    

The main 'plan' for the weekend is to get the bedrooms sorted out, for Janice and Michael coming for a break from a 'sunny and hot Sussex.   That will done tomorrow.    The main job is moving the computer from one bedroom to the other.... and cleaning the windows.  

21.30    We have a bonnie evening, in fact I'd say it was the best bit of the day;  the wind has moderated, but it's still  breezy ,so will be cool.    On our tip to Leven to do the shopping we had drizzle on the windscreen a couple of times.   The second time might have been caused by water being sprayed on to a crop.    The first was definitely drizzle. because we were under a dark cloud at the time.

Iain brought my 'new' phone, so I have a new 'toy to play with.    I phoned my house phone from the
mobile and that worked so I'm happy.    I must take a few photographs with it tomorrow, so I'm hoping to take time off' working' to do that.   There's a chance the we could have 'light rain' tomorrow;  that's the kind of change we get with a Westerly wind.

Today's photies:  Top - when I downloaded today's photies to look at them, I  realised the lady crossing the high Street is Myra!   And she is on a mission.   Middle - a colourful  van on Elie High Street, and Bottom - a 'Green/bluebottle';  he is a colourful boy, and we now know that  know that 'bluebottles ' are' hairy'.   Photo by Iain.(Lawrie).

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...
