Bright and breezy ....

30th March 2026 (Monday)      10.45 .... We have a lovely sunny morning;  potentially a good

drying day, but occasional squally showers could blunder their way across.    Am I going to worry about squally showers?..... no, because I've just hung out a washing.   There's a grand drying wind at present;  so washing should dry quickly.   I am now beginning the 'rest' part of my day!   Kettle 'on', and have morning coffee in The Hutte.    Might even find a 'goodie' to go with the coffee.

19.15    As a 'rest day' I'd say this has been a good one!    It has been a mix of 'work' (doing the weekend washing) and sorting out postcards in my 'new' work space;....  the Hutte'!    I am so chuffed with 'The Hutte' being back to 'normal';  I had morning coffee in it, watched the washing blowing in the wind (and untangled a sheet when it tangled up with the Apple tree), fed 'Blob'when he came in looking for a snack, and generally relaxed.... including having my afternoon siesta it it.   

! found three unused postcard albums;  they might take the last of the postcards with writing (and stamps) on them.   Some folk bought postcards of the places they visited and kept them as mementos of places visited.    I will have to order another three albums for those.    For some unknown reason, most of the unused postcards are Scottish views! 

It'a a lovely evening;  I might have a short walk up to the golf course.  There's a chilly air, so I'll have a think about that! ..... might have a warm cuppa instead.

22.30   The 'plan' for tomorrow? ..... visit Alice and do a wee bit of shopping;  it will be, a sort of 'active rest day'.    Funnily enough I have had an enjoyable day today;  even untangling the sheet from the apple tree was 'fun'.

Today's photies:   both taken in the Hutte.   The bottom one? .... Hermione  and Horace.

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.

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...
