Nice morning ....

2nd October 2026 (Friday)     09.00 ....   We have a bonnie morning in KY9, sunny intervals with
a moderate breeze (SW):  however rain is forecast to move in late in the afternoon, and evening.   I'll go for a short walk after morning coffee;  after I find out what's happening with the car.   I'm feeling frolicsome, which is a bummer, because I can't actually frolic nowadays!     Anyway I'm happy, now that I can get out with the 'hurdy gurdy':  and I'll be even happier when I get the lightweight one!

13.30    The car is through it's MOT, and Myra kindly took me along to Mercury to get the car:  so all is good on Ferry Toad again!    Back at Ivy I had another morning coffee then went up to the golf course to get a few action shots of any golfers that were around.    The course was busy;  then I remembered that the girls play on a Friday.   Anyway I got a dew photographs for the blog then ambled my way home, meeting Siggi and Philip on the way.   Siggi and Philip had their yacht in the harbour (Elie) when and I was sailing with Jimmy.   Siggi and Philip still have there house in St Monans, but sail around the West  of Scotland now;  their home base.

16.30    I've had a lazy afternoon;   but I did have a busy, and almost hectic, morning.   I thought about going up to the gold course again, but the sky is clouding over, and some of the clouds look like they might drop their innards on the 'Royal Burgh'.   We have had a few spits and spots of rain, but not enough to water the flower tubs.

I'm out to The Hutte to do a Soduko;  and have a cuppa.

22.30    Heavy rain eventually arrived, but has moved way, to give us a dry day, with sunny intervals, and a  moderate WSW breeze. tomorrow.

Me? ..... I'm going to have a quiet day tomorrow;  just potter around and do things around Ivy.   There's plenty to do, including making up the bed for 'JB'.  

The botched execution in Tennessee is almost unbelievable.  It made me think of Dr Josef Mengele, of

Auschwitz.    I know that Christa Pike was sentenced for committing a horrible crime.  What I don't understand is, how can someone be sentenced to death in 1995;  and then take thirty years to carry out the sentence!    In this case 'try' to carry out the sentence.    The USA is surely better than this.

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...
