Cloudy ....

3rd April 2026 (Friday)      10.00 ..... we had a sunny start to the morning, but is had clouded

over, and it looks like we will have light rain showers.   There's a fresh SW wind so the light showers could be squally showers.    I might abandon working in 'The Hutte'  today:  I'll bring the postcards I'm working with into Ivy,  and work closer to the kettle!    I thought it was warm when I first went out (07.30) but it colder now:  maybe it's the wind that has freshened.    I'm going to put the kettle 'on', then bring in the postcards..

15.00    It was a nice enough morning for me to do the postcards in 'The Hutte';   and made friends with a cat that comes to The Royal Burgh for it's Easter holidays.    I intended having my siesta out there but it started to rain.  The cat disappeared when a shower o' rain  came;  and I disappeared into Ivy.   It's only a shower, between sunny spells at the moment, so still a nice afternoon.

Well it has been a nice start to the holiday weekend;  but it's much colder now than it was in the morning.  I didn't go anywhere today;  the traffic has been too busy to go out on the bike, or buggy.  Anyway I plugged in one of my external hard drives and had a browse though a few Folders.   I then realised that I have photographers around the UK that can upload photies onto the Photo Frame:  I then take a photo of the picture on the Photo Frame without having to go out in the cold!  The photographer is credited at the bottom left corner of the photo.

What is the 'plan' for tomorrow?    At the moment I don't have a 'plan',  the weather is forecast "light rain with sunny spells" ,,,, and cold.   The wind is going to freshen, so there will be loads of windchill.  I'll stay in and catch up with some computer work.   Tuesday looks like being the next 'warm' day.

21.15    I'm wondering if I'll get a visit from 'my' cat tomorrow;  it's a friendly cat, and appears every year at Easter, and sometimes in the Summer too;  so it's a 'holiday' cat.

Today's photos were taken by Michael, from somewhere high up in London.    I don't think he was
outside the window cleaning it!   

Emily has just put a few photies on to the 'Frame' so I'll 'play with them tomorrow.    Right now it Horlick's time, and an early night in bed.    This cold weather is not what we want at this time of year;  and certainly not for all the folk that are here on holiday!

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...
