Early morning frost ....

18th October 2026 (Sunday)     10.30 ....  It's an absolutely gorgeous Autumn morning;  definitely
a morning to be out and about.    My plan was to go down to the beach for sunrise, but slept in, but might try to get sunset.   Unfortunately a migraine has cramped my desire to go out to play, but I've taken the pills.;  however, I think this will be a quiet day, with the washing machine!


20.30     This has been one gorgeous, albeit cool,  Autumn day;  we had wall to wall sunshine all day.   Having said that, I could have done with a bit more breeze to dry the downie cover.   But that's all I have to complain about.  I even thought about getting 'The Buggy' out in the afternoon, but changed my mind when I saw how busy Ferry Road was at times.    So I 'walked' the 'hurdy gurdy' round the patio 10 times instead:  I'll count the number of steps that I take to go round the patio.    I think it will be about 40.

I've just had a look at the weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow:  the early part of Monday is to be much the same weather as it was today, but the breeze is going to gradually change direction, from the West  to the SE in the afternoon, bringing dampness in from the North Sea.   'Flap on' now;  I'm going to put the sheets through the machine tonight and get them out on the line, first thing in the morning.

'JB' arrived home at 10.20 this morning:  but it wasn't a 'Sunny  Sussex' .... it was raining!   Wet stuff that they badly need sown south.    I don't want rain tomorrow, but that's where the dampness, that we might get, later in the afternoon tomorrow, is coming from.

I'm missing 'JB'.   The aroma(s) of his vegetarian cooking coming from the kitchen:  the excitement when he
arrived back back from his walks, with another batch of photographs for me to play with:  and us sorting out the mess that the World is in.   
I daresay I'll soon be back in my old routine again.  Tomorrow i have the last of the bedding to do;  but that won't take long;  I might go out with the camera!... it depends on how cold it is!

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...

1st November 2019 (Friday)       07.00 .... Mmmmm ... it’s cauld and wet Mmmmm .... not the perfect weather for the beach. as per weather forecast;   a real dreich morning.      I am feeling considerably brighter than the weather and looking forward to morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse..... then spending the rest of the day mostly working on the computer, and doing Soduko’s.    I might bake Melting Moments..... baking and sampling 'MM's is always a cheering occupation on a dreich day. 09.00    The sky to the West is showing promising changes in greyness;   could we be in for a few bright spells?    “Light rain showers and a gentle breeze” is the forecast for today.... but a bright spell would be very welcome.    I haven’t been anywhere further than the pavement when manoeuvring the bucket into its ‘ready for emptying’ position.   I’ll have another cuppa then ‘loup’ into the car an...

12th June 2026 (Friday)     09.30 ..... It's a lovely morning... and a good drying day!     Michael and Janice will be getting ready to go to Uckfield Station.   Me? .... I had the best night's unbroken sleep in years last night:  I put the light out at 22.45 and woke up at 06.45!     And I had a long hot shower so I'm feeling rested, and  'playful'  this morning.    That said I have the car to 'worry' about;  however the garage will take care of that, and I should get it back in plenty of time to go for Janice and Michael.  Unfortunately I couldn't do the shopping I wanted to do!    That will have to be done tomorrow.     10.00    Apart from putting the downie inside it's cover, Michael and Janice have a bed to fall into tonight!   I'm going to celebrate that by having morning coffee! 11.30     The car is back at the gate.    I...
