Bright and breezy ....

13th April 2026 (Monday)     10.00 .... We have a bonnie start to the 'working' week, sunny with a

light, chilly, breeze.   It's a great morning to be out on the bike.... or jogging.   I'll have another cuppa after this update.

I've just seen President Trump, 'Leader of the Free West', give  Pope Leo a round of the Trump guns.    I'm beginning to think that President Trump sees himself as Pope Leo's 'Boss'!      

Alberto? .... I'm feeling brighter this morning. but will stay 'in' and warm, 'working' on the computer and drawing.   Must 'go'.... slight Flap On'.... need a liquid intake!    And a 'goodie'!

12.15    I've had a run round the 'Royal Burgh' and up to my usual parking place near Kinneuchar, to get a few 'today' photos.  By he way, it's a nice day out, but, if out in the open,  the breeze is chilly.   And, there's a chance of April Showers!   I enjoyed my short trip in the car;  there's a lot of holiday makers around, so this must still be the 'Easter Holiday's.   Holiday's? .....''d better make a start on  the'work' I've planned for today!    I see shower clouds have started to meander over;  and it looks we might catch one or two.

19.30    The April Showers never came to much;  in face I only saw a few spots of rain on 'The Hutte' windows... and that was from the edge of a shower that passed to the south of us.   Then only real difference was the air went chilly every time a cloud obscured the sun!     I've had a productive day, colouring in the drawing of the 'Old Pier', with coloured pencils.

President Trump has decided that he will close the Strait of Hormuz;  this is after saying so much about how it should be 'open' for all to use.   This is becoming farcical:  is it not time that some of his advisers  suggested diplomacy as the way to sort this out.   They were talking, and listening(?) to each other in in Pakistan at the weekend;  go back to doing that... and bring an end to the Iran war.   That will stop the ever increasing cost of living;  brought on by starting, and escalating, 'Epic Fury'!   Must 'go' slight Flap on;  need a cuppa!

22.15     I'm going to have another 'quiet' day tomorrow;  but might take 'The Buggy' out if the weather

is suitable;  that means warm! .... with a low chance of showers.   Anyway, working on the old Pier Project is relaxing;  and I like the way it's looking with a bit of colour added.   

Today's photographs:    taken today when out in the car.

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...
