Bright and breezy ....

10th April 2026 (Friday)    08.45 .... It's a bonnie, sunny morning;  but there's a chilly breeze, so

it will be cool when exposed to the frisky wind.   Me? ..... I'm  going to be warm in The Hutte, drawing an A3 size version of the old pier.   I enjoy drawing, but didn't do any when the workmen were busy next door, and had to move the shed.    Anyway Iain and Jackie have given me my 'Drawing Place' back so I'm a 'happy boy'.

18.45    It has been a beautiful, mostly sunny day;  but there was windchill with the frisky wind.   It was a perfect drying day;  and I had  a washing out.     I spent most of the day in 'The Hutte' drawing.   At one point I thought of going round The Ferry on 'The Buggy' but decided against it because of the windchill;  and the traffic.   And;  I'm nursing a cold.   That means Alberto will lying low for the next couple of days.  If the weather is suitable i\'ll lie low in The Hutte.

It's hard to believe that one man could create so much chaos on the Planet by his actions.    I refer to President Trump and his amazing, success in making the cost of living a major worry for most of the world population.   Even his MAGA 'friends' are having to pay for his short sighted actions.    Let's hope that the 'Peace' talks in Pakistan  end up with Peace in the Middle East;  and everything settles down to where it was before the Iran war.  Having said that;  it will take a long time for things to get back to something like the old normal;  two and a half years in fact!

The sky has clouded over in the past couple of hours;  with a fresh breeze and light rain showers forecast for tomorrow.

22.30    Heather, Ray and Alistair came down this evening so we had a good old catch up, over 'evening

coffee'.    It was good seeing them again and catching up with their 'News'.    

I've had a quiet day in The Hutte with the pencils.   It will be more of the same tomorrow:  I'll do another A3 size drawing, perhaps from a different viewpoint.    Anyway it's bedtime for me:  I'm going to have a Lemsip to help get rid of this cold.

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.

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...
