Light cloud ....

25th April 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .... The sun is slowly shifting the early morning fog/low cloud

we had earlier.   "Sunny intervals, with a moderate Easterly breeze" is forecast, so we should have a lovely afternoon;  but it will be cool out in the open.   We're going to Leven (after another cuppa) to get some of Iain's 'Freefrom' food, and a new Hoover  for me.   Does the firm Hoover still make 'Hoovers'?

16.00    Iain has been up to Chapel Green looking for insects to photograph;  Me? ..... I fell asleep in 'The Hutte'.    Oh our trip tp Leven went perfectly;  the only hindrance being the roadworks in Lundin Links.    The workmen were there today!

I got my new 'Hoover';  it's a Vax... an much quieter that the old one.    The old one had bits falling off it so was well ready for the re-cycling yard.    I've been meaning to get a new 'oover for a while, so I'm a happy boy now.   From B & M's we went across the road to Sainsbury's to get some 'emergency rations' for me.    Sainsbury's was busy;  as were the roads.
I've just had a migraine so I'll take a couple o' pills and have a short catnap in The Hutte before 'denner'.

We have a lovely, sunny afternoon here  at the Centre of the Universe.   The onshore breeze takes a few degrees off the temperature on the beach;  but the villages are busy, going by the number of people, and  cars, using Ferry Road.   Those on foot are wearing windcheater jackets!   

23.15    Heather and Alistair came down in the evening, so we had an enjoyable evening looking at Heather's beautiful paintings and drawings of flowers;   the foxglove is amazing.    And it's a relaxing hobby!

Iain is going back home tomorrow after a busy weekend:  I've been busy too!   I think I was busy but can't think what I was busy doing!    Nothing planned, but I'll do some 'ooverin' and dustin'.
I'm tired now so off to bed  to read my book.

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...
