Lovely morning ....

19th April 2026 (Sunday)     09.30 ..... It's a an absolutely beautiful morning;  sunny and warm,

with a light, but cool,  Northwesterly breeze.... a nice morning for the joggers.  I might even make it as far as 'Nana's Seat' sometime today.    Actually I might get 'The Buggy' out later;  it depends on how busy the Ferry Road is.    At the moment it's quiet.    Oops ....a migraine has just kicked in;  that will cramp my activities a bit.   Off to take the pills. 

18.45    It's a gorgeous evening,  so I ventured up to my usual place  at the end of the Kinneuchar Station road to get a few 'today photies.   And 'lo and behold', there was 'His Nibs' strutting his stuff.  He started to give me the warning off signs;  that let me know that his wife must be sitting nearby.   I was hoping he'd step into the sunny bit, but no;  he was mair interested in warning me off.

Good progress has been made with the pencils today;  in between cat-naps.    A migraine first thing in the morning is a nuisance for the rest of the day.  That reminds me;  I need to take another couple of pills!).   I haven't been able to get really going today:  migraines take the edge off my playfulness!  

22.00   The 'Mandelson Mess' continues to resurface;  with other parties saying that the PM should resign.  The PM made a catastrophic mistake appointing Mandelson (er ... Lord Mandelson) and has apologised for doing so.   Actually,  that's what I can't understand:  why did the PM think Lord Mandelson was 'the best man for the job' of Ambassador to the USA?    

The other 'News' tonight is a meeting, in Pakistan, between the USA and Iran, for 'talks'.    Already the
Leader of the Western World, is threatening to bomb all the bridges and power stations in Iran if they don't agree to 'His' terms!    A grand way to begin 'talks' that should eventually lead to Peace talks!  

I'm going to have a cuppa, check the 'News' then get off to bed.    I haven't a plan for tomorrow;  but I should be 'brighter eyed and bushier tailed' than I have been today.   The weather is going to me much the same as it was today;  except that the wind is going to be off the North Sea;  so, it will be cooler on the east Coast.    Aye... even in KY9!

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...
