Bright and breezy .....



19th December 2025 (Friday)    10.00 .... It's a lovely morning;  loads o' fresh air coming

over on a brisk SW wind.   It's a good drying day but showers could scuttle across on this wind:  I have a washing in the machine, but whether it gets hung out depends on how dark the clouds look.

I would say that I am not at my most frolicsome this morning:  I'm still a bit stiff from my wandering around over the past couple of days.    That said,  the air is good, and I want to go out:  I might have a walk to the golf course after morning coffee.   This is going to be a proper 'rest day'.

18.30    It had been day of mixed weather;  breezy with some heavy showers in the afternoon.    But a nice day for this time of year;  not as cold as the 'old fashioned' winter days.   Luckily I'd decided to forget about doing the washing:   I didn't mean to ..... I just forgot all about that bit of today's plan!   Tomorrow might be a better washing day!

I've had a restful day though, but did a wee bit ;o' ousework to stop me feeling guilty.   The parcel  I was expecting, arrived (in fact there were two) in the middle of the afternoon;  so I settled down to watch the snooker after the postie had been.    I didn't have to worry about falling asleep:  which I did....  and missed the end of the first quarter final.   Although I fell asleep I haven't slept as much as I did yesterday.  Hopefully that means I've almost recovered from all the walking I did on Wednesday.

It'a an early night in bed for me tonight;  in fact I might have a 'JT' ;  they always give me good nights sleep,.... and I usually feel frisky next day.   There' isn't a 'plan' for tomorrow;  not yet anyway.   I'll finish writing Christmas cards , the plan a wee run delivering them.

Kirsty tole me that the temporary traffic lights will be in place until Monday:  if I go anywhere

This morning.
tomorrow morning it will be Westward.   Parking up at the shops in Elie didn't look promising.

I'm going to have a cuppa .... and a goodie, then catch up with the 'News'.  And the weather forecast.

The top two photographs were taken yesterday.

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...

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.
