Bright and breezy ....

5th April 2026 (Sunday)     10.30 ...... The weather is of the bright and breezy  kind this morning;

and  chilly in the frisky SW wind.    Most of the folk wandering sown Ferry Road are wearing winter type jackets, and  woollie hats!  There's certainly loads of fresh air around this morning;  especially on the beach.    Me? ...... I'll have morning coffee in 'The Hutte'!    It's a research and take notes day for Alberto!

There is some good News this Easter morning;  the Americans's have rescued their downed pilot in Iran.   He is in safe hands and will soon be 'home'. Unfortunately there is also bad News ..... the war blunders on!  

19.00 .... Sitting in the Hutte was nice and warm;  but outside it was windy and cold.   Having said that I saw plenty of folk heading for the beach but they were well wrapped up.   I'd call this a restful day.;m  even though I have done some research 'work' on the computer, and from books.

The photograph of Earth, taken from Artemis II by Reid Wiseman (NASA),  lets us see how our 'Mother Earth looks from space.    It's the bonniest jewel yet discovered! .... and it's the only 'jewel' in the Universe that we know supports life,     And, what are we doing? .... driving many of the life forms to extinction!    Thankfully ,some clever people see the danger (and stupidity) of doing that, and are bringing it to the notice of politicians.   It's really quite simple:  We have to save that 'jewel' for all the generations that will follow us.   

22.45    I've been putting the 'broon Bin' and I can tell you it is cold out there tonight;  could be frosty in the morning.    I'm going to do a washing tomorrow, because the weather forecast is good.... apart from being cold first thing.    If it is cold I'll be staying in, warm, and not far from the kettle!

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...
