Overcast .....

14th January 2026 (Wednesday)     09.15 ..... we have a mostly cloudy sky this morning, and,

though dry, with the chance of sunny spells,  drizzle is forecast for the afternoon.   However, there is a reasonable breeze, so I have hung out a washing;  I don't expect it to dry, but would like it to be dry enough before the drizzle arrives, to iron and hang in front of a radiator.     Tomorrow is a better forecast for hanging out a washing.

18.40    I have enjoyed myself today.   I went 'roond The Ferry' in 'The Buggy.... the first time this year, and the first time in 4 weeks.   It's really relaxing and I can stop to take photies on the way round:  having first checked the mirrors to see if it's safe to stop.   Today's photies were all taken from 'The Buggy'.   It's much more fun than the car;  but open to the elements!    I didn't go as far as Chapel Green because it looked there was a shower coming over.    It didn't;  but I don't like the idea of 'The Buggy' getting wet.   

The washing I hung out has been ironed and is now in front of the radiator;  the other sheet will be done tomorrow.   This is not the best time of year for hanging out washing.

I'm looking forward to Spring, and the warmer weather weather coming:  however I have no doubt we'll have a few colder spells before the Spring weather settles down.

Anyway I've been out on 'The Buggy';  that is why I'm thinking of the warmer weather!    I'm going to use it ('The Buggy') more this year.

22.15   Tomorrow's washing is ready to hang out;  the forecast is good..... and it should be a good drying day.   I'm tired after today's excitement.   That reminds me I have to charge up 'The Buggy' so that I can travel up to Elie sometime soon.    We'll get some odd bonnie days now and again even at this time of year.

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...
