Bright and breezy .....

23rd February 2026 (Monday)     11.00 .... I've been a busy boy this morning;   done the

ooverin', and will do the dustin' (not overly keen on dustin') after this update.   We have an lovely Spring like morning, it could even be a 'play'day;  but it's  cool in the brisk wind just now.   I might get 'The Buggy' out it the wind dies down a bit.   What I will do; is charge the bike battery and see how the bike has survived the damp weather.   'Slight Flap on' ... got to find the bike battery charger!   And it's morning coffee time!

15.30    I set off in the afternoon intending to go to Methil and have coffee with Alice, but when I got to the top of the hill it started to rain (shower) so I abandoned that idea, and ended up pottering my way to the harbour, then along to St Minnins, Abercrombie, then home by way of Robin Gray's and Kinneuchar.   

The top photograph is the one I took when Marcia and Irene  were passing.  That reminds me:  the hearing aids work with car horns... and then some!    I'm glad it was Marcia and not an irate farmer wanting into his field!    When I was out of the car, taking photies, it was much colder than I'd expected it to be.    The patio thermometer was reading 10.8C at lunch time.   In spite of the wind chill it was a nice day to be out;  the feeling of Spring was 'in the air'.   I was wrapped up for Winter weather!

Elie and Earlsferry are busy, at least the harbour area was busy.   Anyone I saw was well wrapped up. It's always cold at a harbour!

22.00    It has been a lovely day and I have been busy:  I eventually did the dusting!   As I said earlier it's not my favourite job.    Anyway, it's done;  and I'm a happy 'boy' again. 

I have to go and have a blood testy tomorrow at Elie the Surgery, in the morning.   Before that I plan on doing a washing and having it out on the line early.   The weather forecast is 'light cloud with a moderate breeze' so it should dry.   No mention of either showers nor sunny spells.   Just 'light cloud.   

The 'mild' spell is due to continue for another few days but, so far, I haven't found it that warm.    My
breathing has been bad for the past couple of days.... and cold air is one of the mains causes of that.   Mossmoran is 'flaring' just now;  with the wind being from the West, that could cause breathing problems for asthmatics downwind.   Interesting 'nae weelness' is asthma.   
It's time for the Horlicks!

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...
