Nice morning ....

16th February 2026 (Monday)     09.00 .... After light  rain during the night, we have a clearing

sky with sunny spells now.   There's a moderate breeze from the NW so it is chilly.   However, 'light rain' is forecast;  but that could miss us and give us a nice, warm  Spring afternoon!    I'm haven't made a 'plan' for today;  it depends on how frisky I feel after another cuppa.

11.00    I've been down to the harbour to get a few photographs to 'play' with in the evening;  and I got a few photos of the storm damaged sea wall at Chapel Green House.   The house is far enough back to be safe.    Storms off the Southeast are always the most damaging;  as can be seen by all remains of the 'Pilgrim's Pier'... a "rickle o' stanes".

15.00    It's a bonnie Spring day now;   and warm in the sun.    Ferry Road has been busy with holiday makers:  some of them families with children (and dogs) so this must be 'half term'.   It's a nice day for being on holiday.   Or even being .... retired!   However, the sky is clouding over, and the air colder, so the 'light rain' is on it's way!

I haven't done any 'work' today;  other than go to the harbour to get a few photographs to 'play' with later.    The weather is going to be unsettled, most of this week, so today is a sort of 'blip'.   Anyway it's too cold for me doing windows!

The window cleaner has been doing Airlie's windows:  this had me thinking (fleetingly) that I should do mine.   I'll look out the equipment and do them ..... tomorrow.    Maybe!
I feel that I deserve an afternoon coffee, and a goodie, after after convincing myself that doing the windows today, was not a good idea!

22.30    The 'Master Plan' for tomorrow is to go to Leven and Methil.   I bought a table lamp and discovered that it needs a bulb with a different fitting so I'll get that tomorrow.   We'll do some other shopping when in Leven.

I've been watching the Ice Dance  pairs skating from Milan.   Me skate? .....I couldn't even stand up on ice;  do certainly couldn't actually skate!     That said;  if the pavement is icy in the morning I might  do a triple salchow, to set me up for the day.   I liked the Japaneses lassie's hairstyle -  it was simple but bonnie in a different kind of way.   Oh... the Japaneses pair won the Gold Medal.   

Today's photies:  Top - storm damaged wall at Chapel Green House.    Middle - 'The Terrace' Elie from
The Toft;  and Bottom :  Chapel Green House wall on the morning Chris (Mennie) told me about the damage.   It was taken on a wet morning do not very clear.

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...
