Light rain ....

2nd February 2026 (Monday)     10.00 .... It;'s a grey, damp morning;  but there is the chance of

brighter spells now and again;  maybe even a 'sunny spell'.   It's unlikely that The buggy will be coming out today;  so I'll frolic around wi' the Hoover and do a wee bit o' housework;    Photographs?..... it's not a day for going out wi' the camera, but I might take a turn round the villages in the car later.    Funnily enough, in spite of the drab weather, I feel sort of 'playful'.

15.00    As you can see from the top photo, the weather had been cloudy with occasional short spells of light rain.   We had a 'brighter spell, but no blue sky.

I had a run round the villages, and up to Kinneuchar to take a few 'Today' photies;  they gives me something to 'play' with later.   Apart from building  work going on, at various sites. around the villages, and a few folk out with their dog, the villages were quiet.   Not surprising on gloomy kind of day.

Fraser )Thomson) came down The Toft, walking his dog, and was saying that the Little Egret is back;  this is the second, or possibly third year it has been here.    I imagine it must be either breeding, or hoping to find a mate and breed,, somewhere, hopefully, not too far away.   I don't think they (little Egrets) have bred in Scotland, although it's much larger relation the Great White Egret has, at the Loch of Strathbeg in Aberdeenshire.




22.00     My sword.... I've just had a look at the weather forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday!   There's a Yellow Warning (possible)  out for snow/sleet/ rain  covering Fife, starting at midnight tonight through to Wednesday afternoon.   An I am thinking of going to Methil to visit Alice tomorrow.    It's only a 'Possible' warning for snow, but it looks like we're going to have 'dampness', in one form or another!

I've actually enjoyed 'today'!   I know the weather isn't the best kind for going out with the camera, but
the villages are bonnie regardless of the weather.... and the photies 'different', even taken from the same viewpoint.  Luckily the rain was intermittent today, and only light when it was raining, so not really much of a nuisance.    Wind with heavy rain is something else;  and that is the forecast for tomorrow!

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...
