Nice morning ....

20th March 2026 (Friday)    09.45 .... The sun is burning off the early morning fog and we

should have  lovely, peaceful, sunny and warm day ahead.    I'll get 'The Buggy' out in the afternoon, if the roads aren't busy.   It's not the best kind of ;drying day' but I might do a washing;  KY9 could be warm later.   'Blob' was twittering happily this morning;  it could be that he is 'in love'.   Spring is definitely in the air.   That said it is March, and the weather can be varied;  even snow, as in 1947!   Off to do some 'work'!   After I put the kettle 'on'.

16.15    This has been a beautiful Spring day;  sunny and warm, with only a light breeze.     I actually did 'work' things this morning:  the single bed has been stripped and the bedding.   A bit more breeze would have been better for drying the bedding, but I'll iron it later and hang it in front of a radiator.   It should be fine for making the bed tomorrow.

With the weather being warm and sunny, I decided to go out on 'The Buggy' after lunch.    I only went up to Chapel green then back to the phone box on Ferry Road where I turned left and went as far as the Green-keepers Workplace entrance.   Sometime I shall go all the way to the junction with the A 917;  and if I'm feeling really brave.... all the way to Kinneuchar .... maybe!

20.00    I've enjoyed being active today.... including the 'work' bit.   The work bit isn't finished yet;  I still have the ironing to do.    I'll do that after this update.   I suspect that I might have done too much today, and tomorrow will be a 'rest day'.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is excellent;  "sunny with light winds", but slightly cooler than
today.    The patio thermometer reached 15.4C this afternoon.   I should have checked the temperature on 'The Buggy' thermometer when I was  'out in the open' at Chapel Green.   I keep forgetting that it has one!   One thing I do know it has is a 'beeper'.  It activates when I use the indicators or go into reverse:  I don't need the hearing aids to hear the 'beeper'.   The hearings aids are brilliant;  I wish I had got them sooner.   Having said that;  I haven't quite got used to the direction thing.    Yesterday in the paper shop I heard Ian's voice, but thought it seemed to be coming from John.   Ian was behind me, and John in front.    That mixes the auld brain up a bit!   The lassie who fitted me up with the hearing aids said  that a situation such as that could be awkward.

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...
