Wet and windy .....

31st January 2026 (Saturday)     11.20    I'm a bit behind schedule this morrrrrrning due to the

fact that I didn't wake up until 09.25.   I've showered and had breakfast, done a washing (now hanging in front of a radiator);  and it's already morning coffee time.   The sky appears to be breaking up a bit.... and, I'm looking forward to 'sunny spells .... sometime!    At the moment we have the weather that is forecast for KY9;  "windy with light rain".   

20.00   The sunny spells never came to anything, but, though overcast we didn't have a lot of rainy spells.  I have actually enjoyed myself today;  and I never went further than the gate.   I did a wee bit housework, and a bit of computer stuff;  and a lot of thinking.   

It is good to see the UK and The EU seeking closer relations with China and India.  We need a few more different, 'baskets to keep our eggs in' rather than just the American one.   Especially the USA under the current Leadership.   I realise that politicians tell us who our 'our enemies' are;  they are the ones that spy on us.   And the ones that we spy on.   It's a marvellous world:  every country is probably spying on everybody else ....especially in this digital age.

I have every intention of extricating myself from my bed much earlier tomorrow morning;  I spent most of the morning trying to catch myself up today.   The weather for tomorrow is going to be 'more of the same':  so I'm going to say there' s "nae chance" o' sunny spells.   That way we might get some!

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...
