Nice morning ....

20th January 2026 (Tuesday)    09.45 .... There's been some overnight rain, but that had moved

Misty morning.
away,  the sky breaking up to give us sunny spells.   I have a washing going through;  it's a reasonable 'drying day' but light rain is forecast to move in later in the afternoon.    I have to go to the Skeith Centre sometime today, so might drop in to The Store for a wee browse. 

19.38     I went to Anstruther (Skeith Centre);  and 'The Store' int eh morning.   That took longer than intended because I had a good browse in 'The Store'.     It was busy;  with elderly people out in force.   Progress round the aisles was reasonably steady:  I had to wait a couple o times while someone made up their mind which was the 'best buy', but I wasn't in a hurry.   I never see anyone in'The Store' that I know;  apart from the checkout lassies.

I came home by way of Kellie Castle;  and Colinsburgh to fuel up the car.   Gareth had been at something in the Colinsburgh Toon Hall, was waiting for a bus, so I gave him lift home.   (That reminds me that it's the Colinsburgh Lunch tomorrow, and that Myra is picking me up at 12.30).   I was back home at 12.50, put the messages away then had lunch.   

Angry sky at sunset!
Unlike the morning, my afternoon was 'restful';  I watched "Foyle's War" ... and didn't fall asleep!   It's set in 'sunny Sussex' and sometimes the 'action' is in Hastings .... or some of the other Sussex towns.   Today's episode was set, mostly, in the Sussex countryside.

22.30    I don't have a 'plan' for Wednesday;  but I will watch President doing his 'speech' at Davos.    (I hope it's better than the briefing from the Oval Office today).    It will be interesting to hear what he says about Greenland.

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...
