Windy and wet .....

29th March 2026 (Sunday)     09.30 .... It's windy (F4 Westerly) and wet just now, but there should

be sunny spells in the afternoon.    This means that I will clean the inside of the Hutte windows in the morning, and the outsides in the afternoon.   That is the work 'plan' for today:  that, and doing some light housework.

To have 'The Hutte' back as a place to relax and think;  (even fall asleep) is fantastic.     I intended having morning coffee out there today;  but that has been put on hold.   Iain and Jackie are on their way home, so I'm going to have another cuppa, that make start on cleaning the windows.     

16.45    'The Hutte' windows have been cleaned;  in fact they are so clean that,  if it wasn't for the reflections, you wouldn't know there was glass there at all.   Anyway, that's the windows cleaned, and and The Hutte fully operational.    I shall make use of it tomorrow as Monday is going to be a 'rest' day.    It's strange, but I'm tireder today, than I was yesterday;  which is surprising considering the amount of work I did yesterday!

The weather has been a mix of sunshine and showers in the afternoon;  but the showers never lasted long, so I made afternoon coffee, and listened to the wireless(in The Hutte).    I have one thing to do out there.... and that!.... put a new battery in the clock!   I'll do that 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.

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...
