Nice morning ....

18th December 2025 (Thursday)     10.45 .... I switched the bedside light off at 23.25 last night;

and didn't switch it on until 07.15 this morning.   I was a tired 'boy' last night right enough.   Normally I get up once in the middle of the night for a 'wander along the lobby to the bathroom;  but not last night.

It's a nice morning with light cloud  and a light breeze.    I had  a wander up the Ferry High street delivering  a few Christmas cards.    I'll do some more after 'morrrrrrrrrrning coffee'.    My feet are sore after all the walking we did yesterday.

16.00    As planned I went out (in the car) and delivered a few more Christmas cards around Elie and Earlsferry, but it was not the best kind of weather for me being 'out and about'.   However I persevered and got most of them done:   I should finish the local ones tomorrow;  if the weather is amenable.    'The Buggy' would be the perfect 'transport' for going round delivering cards;  but there's too much work  going on around the villages, for me blundering around in 'The Buggy'.

22.30    When I was out I took a few photies of bits of Elie and Earlsferry I rarely visit:  when I'm old, and slow,  I'll be able to browse my way around the villages, regardless of the weather.  

I was surprised by the temporary traffic lights at Elie;  as I said earlier there's a lot going on around the villages.    There's work going on a couple of houses up from Myra, so I couldn't take the car down.  It isn't far to walk ,but the auld knees are still sair after all the walking we did yesterday.  Walking up the brae was the hard bit.

I have a parcel delivery coming tomorrow so I'll hang around Ivy until that arrives:  the legs will be glad of the rest.    I will take a short walk  at dome point, and deliver the cards that I  need to do around Ivy.   I'm thinking tomorrow might be a rest day.

We're to have a windy (F6 - 7)  start to Friday but it should be calmer in the afternoon:  so that's when

any card delivering I may do, will be done .... weather permitting.   Rain isn't mentioned, but  could have sunny spell with a shower or two in the afternoon.

Quiet morning ....

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...

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.

Windy and wet .....

4th August 2025 (Monday)    08.45 ....  It's breezy with light rain just now;  but the rain is going to move away and the wind freshen to 'gale', with sunny intervals and squally showers, by midday.   There could interesting clouds, and stormy seas.    I won't be going out on the bike!    High tide is at 11.20;  there will be an abundance of fresh air on the beach today.  11.00  The wind is freshening, from the SW, as can be seen in the photo of the 'Glenfuir' flags (Swiss, USA and Jersey).    Sunny intervals are starting to come over, so it's a bonnie enough day now, albeit breezy:  F5 - 6 with stronger gusts now and again. 19.30  It has certainly been a wild old day, but the wind is moderating, and tomorrow will be much quieter.   It was F8 - 9 at times out on the bay.   Which is why HMS Iron Duke (Type 23 frigate) is sheltering off Elie and Earlsferry.      HMS Iro...
