Nice morning ....

19th February 2026 (Thursday)    11.00 .... There's a feel of Spring in the air this morning;  there;'s a light Se breeze and it's considerably warmer than it has been.    Not only is there a feel of Spring in the air;  I feel almost as frolicsome as a Spring lamb.   Feeling positive, I've hung out a washing;  there could be light showers in the afternoon, but as I said, I'm feeling positive so the showers will miss us!   Iain is coming down tomorrow so I'd better sort out his bed;  at the moment it looks like a shelf!.... could be some interesting stuff there!   Slight 'Flap On' ..... but not until I've had my morning coffee. 19.00 .... I've had a busy day, and enjoyable day.  We never had any rain so the washing the washing was near enough dry when J brought it in.    It is now ironed and airing in front of a radiator.   Iain' bed isn't made up yet, but he's happy to do that when he arrives:...

1 8th February 2026 (Wednesday)      10.15 ....  We have a mix of light cloud and sunny spells, with a chilly SE wind this morning:  but, it's actually a nice morning considering the time of year.   I'll go up to Elie later and pick up my prescription, but it's not a good 'play day';  so too cauld for me to go down to the harbour.   I'll stay in and warm.    It's the Colinsburgh 'Friendship Lunch' today, but I'll miss that because of the cold weather.  Must remember to phone Myra to let her know I won't be going. 20.00    The weather has been reasonable today;  chilly right enough but not bad for this time of year:  and it didn't rain.   If it did I didn't notice it.   I went to Elie (to pick up my prescription) in the afternoon.  Elie appeared to be quiet;  there wasn't a lot of folk wandering around.... but  it wasn't the best kind of day for families being out....

17th February 2026 (Tuesday)     09.00 .... It's a lovely, sunny, morrrrrrrrrning, but there's a chilly breeze from the Northerly direction.    There's a Yellow Warning for ice, especially  in places sheltered from the sun.   However it should be be warm sheltered from that breeze.    I'll have another cuppa then head off to Leven and Methil. 17.15   We've had a lovely sunny day at Elie and Earlsferry;  but it has been cold.    There are places, that don't get the early sun on the Leven Road, so there was was ice on the puddles and wet bits of the road. Most people were driving carefully, so it was an enjoyable drive this morning.    After a cuppa at the 'Alice HQ' we went to Sainsbury's to get the bit's and pieces we wanted, then across to B & M's to get candle bulbs for the light I bought last week.   My breathing has been uncomfortable today, due to the drop in temperature.  ...

16th February 2026 (Monday)     09.00 .... After light  rain during the night, we have a clearing sky with sunny spells now.   There's a moderate breeze from the NW so it is chilly.   However, 'light rain' is forecast;  but that could miss us and give us a nice, warm  Spring afternoon!    I'm haven't made a 'plan' for today;  it depends on how frisky I feel after another cuppa. 11.00    I've been down to the harbour to get a few photographs to 'play' with in the evening;  and I got a few photos of the storm damaged sea wall at Chapel Green House.   The house is far enough back to be safe.    Storms off the Southeast are always the most damaging;  as can be seen by all remains of the 'Pilgrim's Pier'... a "rickle o' stanes". 15.00    It's a bonnie Spring day now;   and warm in the sun.    Ferry Road has been busy with holiday makers:  some of them fa...

15th February 2026 (Sunday)     10.30 .... Getting out of bed this morning didn't seem to be a good idea at 07.15, so I eventually got 'up' at 07.55!    Having showered and had breakfast I feel 'playful' now!    Although chilly, it's a nice enough morning, with a mostly cloudy sky, with blue patches and the chance of sunny spells now and again.   Unfortunately there's a good chance of light rain in the afternoon.   I might venture out in the car.   It's time for coffee (and 'cake' ) now! 15.30    Iv'e had a lazy day;  not that I wanted a 'lazy day'.... it just happened.   It was a nice enough morning, but any time I went out, which wasn't often) the cauld air hit, and that was that.   Stayed in and warm from then on.   Well nor quite;  I went round 'The Ferry in the car, just after the rain came on at 14.00.   Funnily enough that was the only time I went out, and...

14th February 2026 (Saturday)  .... This is "St Valentine's Day".... the day of love and red roses.     9.45 .... We have a lovely, bright, sunny and chilly morning.   I see that the sun has cleared the car windscreen,so I might go to the harbour after morning coffee.   There's a washing going through the machine just now, which I'll hang out though I doubt if it will dry because there's only a light breeze. 17.00    It has been a lovely, sunny day;  but it was cold.    I went to Elie to hand in my prescription, and to the 'paper Shop' .    I had intended going to the harbour but, for some reason, the roads were busy and there was loads of people wandering around.    In fact when I reversed out to come home a stream of traffic came the other way and I had to wait until they passed before I got going.   I went up the Elie road, then down Ferry road for a wee run.   Not much happen there;...

13th February 2026 (Friday)     18.45    Apologies for being late with 'The Hutte' this mor ... er .... evening.   I have had a busy day.     Alice was coming so I thought I'd better go round wi' the 'Hoover'.   The I spotted some dust on the TV cabinet;  but being a clever boy I thought I'd close the thermal curtains, to keep the heat 'in'.... and forget about the dusting.   We were going to have a 'picnic';  an indoor picnic, that Alice was bringing with her. Oh .... we woke up to a wintry looking morning;  and a cold one because the snow/sleet had frozen on the car windscreen.   I fed the two 'Blobs' (they are both boys so start fechtin' as doon as they see each other) so I feed one at the back door and the other at the front door. Alice arrived about 11. 20, by which time I was organised and had the kettle 'on'.   By this time the sun was up and we had a lovely morning, albeit ...
