11th January 2026 (Sunday)     11.00 ..... It'a a grey, wet and breezy, morning;  and is forecast to

be wet most of the day.  I've been for a short run, up to Chapel Green, in the car;  and was surprised to see a number of folk out walking;   most walking the dog!    Funnily enough, I  used to enjoy walking in the rain...  as long as it wasn't too windy.   

I have the feeling that today might be a research day on the computer;  with the odd bit o' ousework.  It's morrrrrrrning coffee time right now!

16.15    It hasn't been the bonniest of days, as far as the weather went, but the rain did stop for a while around midday.

I spent my day watching the snooker and researching in the Alberto Archive.   I had a busy but not 'iggzactly' active day.   However it has been interesting looking back at the 'good old days'.     I'm away to organise something for dinner;  I'm hungry!

20.30    I've had a lazy day;  basically staying in because of the weather.   I put the 'broon' bin out and noticed  the wind had freshened;  and that it was raining.    Iain has just told me that Jackie's Dad has died.   That saddens me.  John had been health problems for a while: it still breaks the heart when a loved one dies.  Iain and Jackie will be going to the funeral.   I'm thinking of  Pauline, Sue, Jackie, 'Uncle Steve'.... and the wider family at this sad time.

The weather will dictate what I do tomorrow:  the good news is, that tomorrow's weather is going to be "sunny intervals with a moderate SW wind".... and it's to be warmer!

22.15    There's fair old sea running;  I can hear it, even with my hearing!

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.

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...
