Sunny and warm ....

28th May 2026 (Thursday)      09.00 .... WE have a lovely, sunny and warm, morning, with a light

breeze from the SE.   The air is already warm so it's going to be hot in the afternoon.     It looks like being a 'rest' day for me.   That said the breeze should make it bearable.    Anyway the weather is due to change tomorrow, with the wind veering to the SW.

17.15    Joyful 'me'!    The weather has been sunny all day with a fresh SE win:  Actually it would be cool on the beach, but it was warm sheltered from the wind.     I've had a busy day;  not a hard working one, but one that had me doing something useful.   Sasha, and Nicola (daughter and Mum), came to find out what I knew about local erosion;  this was for a project she is doing at school.   I don't know if I was much help, but I enjoyed talking to them about Elie and Earlsferry.     Erosion? .... I think we mentioned something about that, now and again.    Anyway I had an enjoyable morning reminiscing if nothing else!   Sasha and Nicola? ... they are both good listeners!   Thanks for putting up with me girls;  I enjoyed your company!

What else have I done today?    Not very much actually!   I did a small washing, and, With the wind freshening and being from the SE I didn't go out anywhere.   However, I went up to The Hutte to do a Soduko;  and contemplate the state of the World.  

The Soduko was easy.   The World?.... not so easy, but I eventually  came to the conclusion, that President Trump is the first American President to increase the  the cost of living for most people on the planet!  All part of  of 'Making America Great Again' I guess!   But an awfie strange way of doing it. 

Iain is coming down this weekend;  we're going to sort out the bedrooms.    Michael and Janice are coming up from 'Sunny Sussex' next month.   They will be glad of the cooler temperatures that we have in Scotland.    It was hot this afternoon in The Hutte.... and that was with the door open.

The wind is to be from the Southwest tomorrow;  bringing  a change with the weather for the next few
days:  including the chance of rain    That reminds me;  I have the tubs to water.    Anyway I have had an enjoyable day;  and I'm looking forward to the change in wind direction.   It means better breathing conditions for me.   Not very keen on dry East winds.

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...
