Broken cloud and damp ....

9th February 2026 (Monday)     07.45 .... It's damp after overnight rain, but the sky, though

mostly cloudy is showing the promise of 'sunny spells' with light rain /showers.     I'll have another cuppa then get of to Methil.    Looking forward to getting my hearing aids.

20.00    My hearing aids are amazing;   I can hear with both ears;  for the first time  in many years.   I can't believe the difference;  I didn't think my hearing really bad.... but it is ... oops ... was!  

The technician said that they weren't fully charged, and that I'd have to charge them sometime this afternoon.    I managed to get the charger set up and plug the hearing aids into the charger.   Getting the aids  back in the lugs is a bit tricky but I'll get the hang o' that.   It takes a week or two for the brain to accept the new hearing;  but it does.     Oh ....I nearly forgot;  I don't have batteries to replace every so often, as the batteries are inside the aids and have to be recharged.... just  like a mobile phone.   I'm thinking that the the "villages are not going to quiet" anymore.   Not in the noise sense anyway!    I found out today that even the camera makes noise when I take a photie.    I'm a happy boy tonight.

I see that the PM is having some bother, with talk of him being replaced.   That would be a mistake.  I know that I disagreed with him being overly friendly with President Trump, but he wasn't the only European Leader to try the friendly approach;  and he has apologised for the Mandelson debacle.   He should  now be left to get on with the job of sorting out the UK.   There's one politician in the UK that can't believe his luck;  the Leader of the Reform Party!    Mind you he is attracting  MP's from the Conservative Party, so he might have his problems too, before the next General Election!

I really appreciated Alan (Alice's son in law) taking Alice and I to Kirkcaldy today;   the journey home to Methil was  especially enjoyable, because I could take part in a  conversation!    Alan has a great sense of humour, and I could enjoy it.   "Thank You Alan" for taking us along to the Vic, and "Thank You Alice" for accompanying me. 

Plan for tomorrow?.... I'll practice putting in, and taking out the hearing aids,  a

times;  but it depends on what the weather is doing as far as going 'out and about' goes.  The Olympics is on BBC  so I'll definitely be watching that at times.   

Today's photographs were all taken from ferry Road just to let you see that the weather has been like today.

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...
