Light rain ....

1st June 2026 (Monday)     10.00 .... we have, much needed, light rain this morning;  in fact we

will have spells of rain  most days this week.  Light rain = low pollen count;  so a bit of relief for folk bothered by hay fever.    However, light rain also means it's not a good 'drying day!    Me? .... I want to go down to Ferry Corner to take a picture of the  road works signage!

20.30    The light rain slowly faded away and we had a nice  afternoon... a mix of cloud and sunny spells, with spits and  spots of rain  now and again.   A nice enough afternoon, that, near enough, dried the washing I put out.   

As you can see from today's photographs I got as far as Ferry Corner, to get the 'Road Closed' (except for residents) sign etc.  All other traffic is being diverted along Links Road;  and two way traffic on the Earlsferry one way system.

What have I done today?    I started the morning with a hot shower to ease tired muscles;  that worked well enough on the muscles;  but I was tired by 13.00 so went to The Hutte, did a Soduko, then went into 'rest mode'.    When I woke up, it was out of a dream;  Jimmy and I were out on 'Rum Rig' (Jimmy's yacht).   I came back to earth with a bang, when I heard the Blackie givin' it laldie from the top of Balvonie lum.    He's a bonnie whistler is our local Blackie.   I set up another Soduko, then made an afternoon coffee to get myself into gear.



I've been looking at  the weather forecast for the next few days;  none of them look like being good drying days.    That has upset my 'work plan', which was  to wash the other set of bedding (weather permitting) so that it's ready for the next bed change.   Thundery showers are forecast for the next few days;  and showers can miss us.   I'm a happy boy again.

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...
