Quiet morning ....

15th February 2026 (Sunday)     10.30 .... Getting out of bed this morning didn't seem to be a

good idea at 07.15, so I eventually got 'up' at 07.55!    Having showered and had breakfast I feel 'playful' now!   

Although chilly, it's a nice enough morning, with a mostly cloudy sky, with blue patches and the chance of sunny spells now and again.   Unfortunately there's a good chance of light rain in the afternoon.   I might venture out in the car.   It's time for coffee (and 'cake' ) now!

15.30    Iv'e had a lazy day;  not that I wanted a 'lazy day'.... it just happened.   It was a nice enough morning, but any time I went out, which wasn't often) the cauld air hit, and that was that.   Stayed in and warm from then on.   Well nor quite;  I went round 'The Ferry in the car, just after the rain came on at 14.00.   Funnily enough that was the only time I went out, and  didn't start coughing!   Anyway I've enjoyed having a lazy day;  I'll be a bundle of action tomorrow.   

It's going to be  brighter tomorrow, with light rain in the afternoon.   Tuesday looks like being bonnie day,  and a good drying day.   I'll get the Buggy' out! 

Ferry Road is busy this afternoon;  and it isn't the weather that's bringing them out;   it's wet and miserable now.   I'm going to have a cuppa and catch up with the Olympics.

20.00     Team GB (Weston / Stoecker) won the Gold Medal in the Mixed Skeleton;  my word it was exciting.   Matt Weston was the last competitor to race and needed to do something remarkable to win the Gold Medal;  and he did!   Team GB (Bankes / Nightingale) also won Gold  in the mixed snowboard final.   It had been an exciting afternoon.

It's raining  heavily just now; (I was checking to see if I need to put out the paper bin, but I don't).... and

I thought it was going to be a bonnier day tomorrow!    Actually there's a Yellow Warning (possible) for frost in Fife, so the rain must be clearing away by morning.   I'll se what the morning brings;  it certainly doesn't look frosty just now.

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...
