Nice morrrrrrrrrning ....

10th January 2025 (Saturday)     09.45 .... It's a nice morning;  quite a lot of cloud, and light

rain with a moderate breeze is the forecast, but just now we have a bonnie start to the weekend.   The light rain might come over in the middle of the day.   I'm going to Kirsty's house (Wadeslea) to show her how to use the wallpaper stripper.   Must 'go';  slight 'Flap On' this morning!   

20.00    The mission, to show Kirsty how to use the steam stripper, was successful, and should make the removal of the old wallpaper much easier.   It was great stepping back to the 'good old days' and doing a wee bit of real work.   I didn't do much, but it let Kirsty see how much easier it is with the stripper.

The light rain we were expecting has yet to arrive;  but the cold, raw wind that you get before rain moves in has been with us most of the day;  it has freshened a bit and is bitterly cold out now.    I was oot at the bin.   Mind you I am in my 'loungers' so perhaps going out to the bin was never going to be anything but cauld!

Wadeslea - Elie.

I have done a decent amount of 'ousework today;  I'll sleep well tonight.   I sleep well every night;  and a lot of daytime as well!    

It's good to see the Ferry busy at this time of year:  I went up to Chapel Green in the car and there was a lot of people out walking.   All of the well wrapped up against the bitter wind.    I didn't stop to take any photographs.   From Chapel Green I went up to Kinneuchar but even there I didn't bother getting the camera out;  the roads were busy.   Actually that surprised me because the Kinneuchar road is normally quiet.

I've just had a look at the weather for tomorrow and the 'light rain is going to move in overnight.  There's a good chance of it being, wet now and again, tomorrow.     The good news, as far as the weather goes? .... it's going to start getting warmer on Monday!

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...
