Nice morning ....

17th February 2026 (Tuesday)     09.00 .... It's a lovely, sunny, morrrrrrrrrning, but there's a

chilly breeze from the Northerly direction.    There's a Yellow Warning for ice, especially  in places sheltered from the sun.   However it should be be warm sheltered from that breeze.    I'll have another cuppa then head off to Leven and Methil.

17.15   We've had a lovely sunny day at Elie and Earlsferry;  but it has been cold.    There are places, that don't get the early sun on the Leven Road, so there was was ice on the puddles and wet bits of the road. Most people were driving carefully, so it was an enjoyable drive this morning.   

After a cuppa at the 'Alice HQ' we went to Sainsbury's to get the bit's and pieces we wanted, then across to B & M's to get candle bulbs for the light I bought last week.   My breathing has been uncomfortable today, due to the drop in temperature.   Alice went into B & M's;  I sat in the car and had a puff oh the blue inhaler.   

It looks like being a cold night, and cold again tomorrow, in fact there's a cold warning out for vulnerable elderly people (that's not 'me') so I'll be staying in and warm tonight... and tomorrow.   I'll go to Elie for the papers in the afternoon .... and the Chemist for my prescription.   I'm thinking of doing a small washing;  but that all depends on the weather.     

We'd bought the ingredients to have an 'indoor picnic' at Alice HQ, so we bumbled our way back to the HQ, where Alice proceeded to turn the ingredients into desirable 'food'.   I sat and 'drooled'  like an old mutt!    I'm likin' indoor picnics!

The roads were busier on the way home from Methil, but it was a nice day and I enjoyed driving for a

change.   I was back home, car unloaded and shopping put away, the TV on and asleep by 13.50.   I woke up in time to watch the Men's Nordic Relay with shooting.   I'm amazed at how the competitors can control their breathing when they get to the range;  it's not as if they take a minute to calm down.   Brilliant stuff.

21.30  I have no 'plan' for tomorrow;  the cold will keep my in most of the time.   It's not to be as sunny as it was today.   It's Horlick's time.

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...
