Cloudy .....

29th January 2026 (Thursday)     09.15 .....  It's cloudy, with occasional light showers, and a

frisky breeze this morning;  the thermometer was reading 5.5C half an hour ago so it feels cold out in the open.   We had a shower when I was feeding 'Blob'.    'Drizzle' is mentioned in the weather forecast.    The Fife Weather cans all show a grey sky:  although the Kinghorn one had a broken sky with a 'sunny spell'!  'Sunny spells'?   We might get lucky.

16.45   I got to Leven this morning to find the town bathed in sunshine;  s was Methil when I arrived at Alice's.   At the time, I could see that the the East Neuk was under a layer of heavy cloud.   Mind you;  it was cold, exposed to the brisk wind, in spite of the sun.   We had morning cuppa and caught up with all the Methil 'News':  there wasn't actually very much for Alice to report.

We were going to have lunch at the nearby Wellesley Kirk Community Centre, and, being that I was later than usual arriving at Methil, it wasn't long before we went over there.   We arrived at the Kirk to find the Car Park 'Disabled' spaces already occupied, so I had to park on the street.   

Weasel.
The Cafe  was busy, (always a good sign) and we were soon seated and ready for food.   The Waitress took our order:  and we were soon tucking in  .... to Fish n' Chips.   I don't know how they make their chips at Wellesley but they are excellent.   The fish was also excellent, but there's something about the chips.   Anyway we enjoyed lunch, and had a wander round the Charity Shop next door, before going back to Alice HQ for coffee.   I was back home in The Ferry about 14.00.   

22.30     My word it's cold tonight;  back to wintry feeling weather.  Tomorrow is going to be another day of mixed weather.    I won'r make a 'plan' until I see  what the weather is doing.    I've enjoyed myself today but this change in the weather is disagreeable.

Today's photies:  Top - taken yesterday;   Bottom - the Weasel was taken in St Margaret's cemetery (Bu (Uckfield).    Just after I took that photo it put it'd front paws on my  foot and had a long look at me.   I 'froze', and couldn't take a photo because, even if I had blinked it would have taken off.    After 10 seconds or so it decided that I was not a threat, and continued hunting;  probably for voles.

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...
