Nice morning .....

8th January 2026 (Thursday)     09.45 .... At the moment,  the sun is trying to break through thin

cloud;but not having much success.   The temperature (shade) is - 1.9C just now, after a low of -2.2C overnight.    The weather forecast for KY9 (my playground) is "light cloud and light winds",  And it's to be cold.   

I hope to go out (in the car) around midday:  Ian hoping that the sun breaks through!   The main 'plan' for the day is to do some 'ousework;  however, I'm feeling sluggish at the moment,  so a mug o' coffee is  the next mission.

12.30   The temperature has gone up to 0.4C so it's above freezing .... but not bu much, and the car windscreen id still frozen.   I doubt if I'll be going out today. .... the pavements (and roads) will be slippery where  they don't get the sun.     I've done some 'ousework (oiled the front and back door locks and hinges) but can't really get going.    Actually, we have a nice sunny day now, and it's reasonably warm in the sun because there's hardly any wind;  but cold in the shade.  

19.00    It has been a nice day; but a cold one.    I had  run up to Chapel green (in the car) and had a short walk about.   It was actually pleasant at the time, because there was very little wind so hardly any wind chill.   
Storm Goretti is going to hit Southern half of England and the Channel Islands later today;  it's being called a 'weather bomb'.   A big "Thank you"  to the BBC weather forecaster whom explained what a 'weather bomb' is:  it's when barometric pressure, at the centre of a low pressure  area, drops 24 millibars, in 24 hours.   That's what is starting to hit the southern half of England just now.

It has been a bit too cold for me today;  that said the heating is as 20C so I'm warm enough;  in fact too warm at times because I fall asleep easily when I should have been 'working'.   Tomorrow is going to be another cold day for us, with light rain and sunny spells in the weather forecast.   It could be a good day for me doing some more 'work'.

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...
