 8th November 2026     We will Remember them!

12.30  The Remembrance Sunday Service at the Cenotaph is always a poignant, and memory jogging event.   I actually thought about going to our local Service of Remembrance at the Elie War memorial, but the air didn't suit the auld breathing tubes:  so I watched the National Remembrance Service from the Cenotaph:  and wonder if any of my former RASC friends  march past the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day.

Our weather just now?   We have an overcast sky but it is dry, and the cloud shows signs of breaking up, so we might get a few sunny spells in the afternoon.

20.00     I forgot to mention that I overslept this morning;  I woke up at 09.30!     I had been awake at 05.30 but it was dark, so I turned over;  and woke up at 09.30.    Normally I wake up at 06.30 and get out of bed about 07.00.   Anyway, the sleep in this morning put my body clock completely out of kilter.   Eventually I decided to go to 'The Store' to  do a wee shopping to get myself into gear.    I didn't so much physical work yesterday, but I did a lot on the computer;  the brain cell must have been tired!

Strangely enough I enjoyed driving to Anstruther;  and the roads were busy!    As was 'The Store'!    I only went there to have change of scenery and, for something different to do.    In spite of 'The Store' being busy, I never met anyone that I knew.    There might be sons and daughters of folk I know, but don't recognise. 

Tomorrow?    I have a appointment with a Nurse at the Skeith Health Centre.  That's at 15.30.;  so I don't have to worry aboot sleepin' in!   No other 'plan'  so far.   The weather is going  brighter than it was today;  'sunny intervals with a moderate breeze'.

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...
