Nice morrrrrrrrrning .... ....

27th March 2026 (Friday) ....  "Happy Birthday" to Michael:  63 .... oops ... er ...29 today!    Enjoy your day.

08.45    We have a nice morning here;  and, although there's a light breeze it doesn't feel that cold.  Maybe I haven't woken up yet,  but it certainly isn't as cold as it was yesterday.    There's lot of light cloud at the moment  but the sun is trying hard to burn that off:  "sunny intervals with a moderate breeze is forecast for KY9.  

I'm going to have another cuppa then run round with the 'Hoover' before Jackie and Iain arrive.

17.30     Jackie and Iain arrived at around 13.00 so I have caught up with the Auchnagatt 'News'.    Since then Iain has set up the Digital photo-frame; and sent a mixed batch of photographs to it.   He has also sent the 'code ' to the troops, North and South, so we could have a varied batch of photies tomorrow.    While Iain was doing that Jackie .... oops...  I  was out tidying the greenhouse!  That could be 'fake' 'News'.

The weather has been kind most of the time;  but we have had a couple of showers;  one of them a heavy, squally one.   The rain brought colder weather with it.   I've just discovered that this weekend the clocks change (forward);  and next weekend is Easter Weekend.   I thought that this was Easter Easter Weekend. 

20.30   The Photo Frame is fantastic:  already I have wide selection of photographs coming in:  The Troops', Henry and Austen, from Somerset, a Cormorant from Sunny Sussex.... and even President Trump and Nigel Farage!    
We're going to Kellie Castle tomorrow for a wander round the gardens and my birthday lunch.   I look forward to Kellie Castle for my birthday treat;  and always get a load of photies to 'play' with later.    Jackie and Iain are going back home om Sunday.

Both today's photies taken yesterday on the Balcarres Woodland walk.

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...
