Sunny .....

5th January 2026 (Monday)     10.30 .... It's a beautiful, sunny morning, but it's chilly.   I

haven't ventured as far as the thermometer yet, but it felt frosty when I fed 'Blob' this morning.   I cancelled going to see Alice today as she has am  workman coming sometime today, and has to stay in until he has been.   Unfortunately she didn't get a time, so it could be anytime of day.   My 'plan' for today? .....  I'll go for a short run in the car once the air is warmer.   In the meantime I'm going to do the ironing;  after another cuppa to get me intae gear.   And brave enough to  go out and  have a look at the thermometer!


17.00     Well it had been a bonnie, sunny but cold day.   I went to the 'Paper Shop' (in the car) to buy four items and remembered three of them.   I could not think of the fourth;  not until I was back at Ivy.    Glue that's what it was.   I'll get it tomorrow.
On the way home I went up to Chapel Green and had a short walk.   It was pleasantly warm, sheltered from the Westerly breeze.   

The villages are quiet after the Christmas/New Year break. The holiday makers are off home;  but the workmen are back at work, so there's still plenty going on   Even I did a bit of work today;  I put a new battery into the thermometer.   That reminds me;  I meant to check the temperature before it got dark.  

22.30    I'm going to visit Alice tomorrow;  weather permitting.  Which it will be as it's to be more or less the same as it was today .... sunny and cold.   Right now it's time for bed.   I'm tired tonight, and it's not because I did much in the way of physical work.   I am looking forward to the weather getting warmer, and getting out on 'The Buggy' again.

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...
