Quiet morning ....

17th April 2026 (Friday)     09.50 .... We have an overcast sky with la light shower just now, but

it's warm (11.2C) ;  and the sky has promising signs of 'sunny spells' now and again.   The joggers have been out, and Andy went out with his golf clubs,  so all is good at Ferry Road.    Me? ..... I've been as far as the thermometer.... and have done some 'ousework.    I'm actually feeling playful, but will remain calm and get on with the  'work'.   I might go out after morning coffee.

15.45    I ser off for Nana's Seat, as I did yesterday, and got as far as Ferry Corner, found that the wind had freshened and it was much colder than expected!   I wasn't well wrapped up because I'd been in 'The Hutte'.    I might try for Nana's Seat  again .... tomorrow!

Actually, it has been a day of mixed weather, quite cloudy with a couple of short spells of light rain.   I'm going to make a cuppa and go back out to The Hutte again!   The sun is out now and it looks a really bonnie day.... but the wind is chilly.

20.00    It's a lovely evening, bot there's a chilly breeze, d no o Nana's Seat walk today.   I've been busy with research, and that is about as tiring as real 'work'.   However I've made progress so I'm happy.

The prospect of some kind of Peace in the Middle East is looking more promising with Iran declaring the Strait of Hormuz is fully 'Open'. during the 'ceasefire in Lebanon.   Apart from the American blockade of Iranian ports;  that stays in place.   I winder why that is?    Surely, in the interest of Peace that could be lifted too during the 'ceasefire'.....  as a friendly gesture!  

I've just had some sad News;  George (Dod) Gordon has died.   He is someone I grew up with.... and   we joined the Colinsburgh Rifle Range in the 1950's.   I'd just found out from Lorraine  (Hairdresser) that 'Dod' was in  the Cellardyke Care Home (used to be called 'The Windmill')....  I was going to visit  him but couldn't because of colds etc.,   My thoughts are with Hector, George's brother, and  George's family and friends.

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.

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...
