Windy and wet ....

5th February 2026 (Thursday)     09.45 .... It's overcast, with a fresh wind (E) and light rain at

the moment.  "Strong winds with heavy rain is the forecast" for KY9, .....with a chance of sunny spells.   Even one short sunny spell would be a boost.   I'm hoping to go to Leven and Methil, but that depends on how the weather develops in the next half hour or so.

18.05   Morning time was the best of today's weather;  the roads were almost dry driving to Leven and Methil ....  in fact I enjoyed driving for a change.   At times the sky looked like breaking up but that never actually happened.   Alice and I had a cuppa, and a quick catch up wi' the Methil news, before going to Sainsbury's to do some shopping.   

There's been  a few changes in Sainsbury's;  they've 'squashed' the newspaper bit  to make room for a big coffee machine and a Vape counter.   Vaping must be as addictive as smoking was;  I hope it's healthier than smoking cigarettes.  Meting Janis in Sainsbury's was a pleasant surprise;  the three of us had  a quick chat before going  bumbling off to do the shopping.   Janis , whom I haven't seen for a while, is looking bonnie as ever.

Alice had organised 'pulled pork' for lunch, so we went back to HQ to get that going,  which didn't take long.   It was delicious;  and was followed by a raspberry dessert.   While having lunch it began to rain;  and has been ever since.   We had a cup o' coffee before I set off the The Royal Burgh.  

By the time I got going the rain was 'heavy' and became heavier the further East I went.   By the time I

got to Drumeldrie it has heavy sleet and I was glad to get home.   I got moored up at the gate so didn't get too wet taking the messages in.   Messages packed away, the kettle 'on' and in 'nae time' I was sitting in front of the TV sound asleep.   This has been a busy but happy day.   

It's still windy and wet;  in fact it's going to be windy and wet tomorrow but not as windy, nor wet, as it  is just now.   I won't be going far tomorrow!

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.

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...
