Breaking cloud .....

 27th June 2026 (Saturday)     10.00 .... We have light cloud with blue patches;  blue patches='sunny spells'.   There's a light Southwesterly breeze, and the pollen count is 'high'':  a nice day, but it will be uncomfortably warm  (for me anyway) in the middle of the day.   I'm going to have another cuppa then go up to the shops.    Got my prescription to pick up.

Thank goodness I have the cooling fan;  I woke up all hot and uncomfortable at 02.00;  had a drink of water, the switched the fan on 'Low', started a Soduko and fell asleep about 20 minutes later and woke up at 07.00.   During this hot spell the fan has certainly done it's job!   "Thank You Michael and Janice"!

13.15    I've been up to Elie to pick up my prescription and bits and pieces from the paper shop'.    Elie was busy, with Park Place lined with cars on both sides.   I didn't go down to the harbour;  this is the start of the busy season sown there.   Unfortunately I was on my way home when I noticed that the Church Bookstall was operating at the kirk gate;  I'd have gone over to annoy Gareth;  and probably buy a couple of books!

It has been another nice day,  but it has been hot and humid, so I stay in.  Today I did the ironing, and some light 'ousework.   After a late lunch I had a cat-nap, and woke up in need of a cuppa.   Cuppa made, biscuit in pocket, I went up to The Hutte to enjoy  a relaxing cuppa and do a Soduko.

We have England v Panama in the World Cup later tonight.   And it looks like Scotland will be coming home:  the results of other games will decide Scotland's fate.   Anyway, the England v Panama game is on at 22.00. 


22.30    I've been watching the England game, at the moment it's still 0 - 0, but I imagine England should win.   England have qualified for the knock out part of the World Cup anyway.   I'm tired tonight and off to bed.

No plan for tomorrow;  it depends on how I'm feeling in the morning.    I think the weather tomorrow is

going to be 'more of the same',  but it might be cooler in the evening.

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...
