Nice morrrrrrning .....

21st April 2026 (Tuesday)    09.30 .... We have sunny spells, with occasional 

drizzle, blowing through on a brisk, and chilly Easterly wind.    It is a 'wrap up well morning;  especially  before going anywhere near the breach, or golf course.   Me? .... I haven't  got a 'plan', but I think this will be a 'stay in and warm' day:  probably mostly in 'The Hutte' once the sun warms it up.    I'll venture up to the 'Paper shop'  after morning coffee;  but won't be going to the harbour.

17.30     As per 'plan' I went to the 'Paper Shop;  where I caught up with the local News, then on to Colinsburgh to put fuel in the car: not an enjoyable task nowadays.    The present 'Leader of the Western World'  will go down in history as the most disruptive President of the USA  .... ever!    Let's hope that the talks, that might take place in Pakistan sometime, extends the 'ceasefire', and eventually leads to Peace'.   That's the only way President Trump has of getting out of this war with any credibility. 

After I got back from Colinsburgh I had a 'lite bite' lunch;  and thought about getting 'The Buggy' out afterwards.    However I'd just began to get organised when clouds began to drift in from the North Sea, bringing a big drop in temperature.   That resulted in 'The Buggy' idea being, swiftly, put back on the shelf!    I made a cuppa and went into 'The Hutte' and read the paper.   Although we had a mix of clouds and sunny spells, the fresh wind meant it was really cold out in the open!   It was warm in The Hutte!

22.00    This has been a better day for me;  I feel that I'm getting back to 'normal' after that cold I had.   That said, I'm looking for a decent spell of warmer weather.... of the summer kind! 
  
Sir Olly Robbins being questioned by MP's made interesting TV this morning. 
I  didn't watch it all, but it was interesting  seeing what goes on in the 'background'.   I don't think it makes much difference to the Prime Minister's position:  The Prime Minister admitted  that he made a catastrophic mistake choosing Lord Mandelson for the position, and he has apologised for doing that.   The fact that he made that mistake is not a reason for resigning!

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...
