Overcast and damp ....

21st January 2026 (Wednesday) 10.30 .... the sky is overcast and, though we had a couple of

blinks of the sun not long ago, light rain with fresh winds off the SE is forecast for KY9.   At the moment it's grey but isn't raining.    We could be lucky and have more sunny spells! 

We have the Colinsburgh Friendship Lunch today;  it's a perfect day for going out and meeting people.     I'll have morning coffee after this update then change:  I'm still in my loungers.   Myra is picking me up at 12.30.

11.45   This is a big day for Greenland, Denmark, Europe and NATO.   President Trump sees Greenland as another piece of Real Estate on which he'd create a golf course.    Not that he would do that on Green land;  but the principle is the same.   It will be interesting to see what happens at Davos.

17.00     The Colinsburgh Friendship lunch was really enjoyable;  excellent food, soup and dessert, followed by a cuppa with a goodie.   And I caught up with a lot of the Colinsburgh news.   

We've been lucky with the weather today;  with sunny spells all afternoon.  The wind has freshened in the last hour,  and there's rain in it so a rough night ahead.    Tomorrow is going to be 'wet and very windy'.

Myra dropped me off at Ivy just before 14.00.   I put the kettle 'on';  and switched on the TV.   and settled down to watch Donald Trump giving his speech at Davos.   

21.30    I can hear a big sea runnin' tonight;  there could be damage to the dunes at high tide with the wind direction being SE.

President Trump pulled no punches during his speech at Davos;  he told everyone that the USA needs Greenland and why;  and why it has to be his way.    So there!    However, he did say that he would not use the USA's military might to take Greenland.   And I as hoping that 2026 would be a year of 'Peace and Love'.   

With the weather forecast to be 'wild and wet' tomorrow I won't be going far.    It could be a good day

for me to catch up with some housework.

Today's photies were taken at Colinsburgh:   Top - Balcarres Crag,  Middle - Ferguson tractor, and Bottom - Colinsburgh Main street from the Toon Hall.

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...
