Quiet morning ....

27th April 2026 (Monday)      09.15 ..... I had fun in the shower this morning;  the water kept

going from really hot to cold all the time;  this is caused by low water pressure.    Anyway I danced around, in and out of the water, and had a shower of sorts.   I've done the important thing;  filled up a container with  water for the kettle;  it's all 'go' at Ivy now!    Apparently there's a burst pipe in the Ferry High Street.    Off to have a banana .... and another cuppa.    And, I need the sun to break through and warm up 'The Hutte'.    'Light rain' showers  are mentioned in the weather forecast for KY9.    I think this will be a 'lazy' day for me.


20.00    I said I'd have a 'lazy day' ... and  that is what I've had.    I went up to Chapel Green in the car, and had a short walk around and took a few photies.   I'm always surprised at the number of strangers wandering around Chapel Green now:  some of them might be 'new locals' for all I know:  it's good to see Elie and Earlsferry busy all year round!    As will be the other East Neuk villages.     

I can hardly believe this:   I have yet to 'oover wi' my new Hoover.    Iain did some on Sunday morning, but that's all.    I might have a 'play' with it tomorrow.    I didn't realise how noisy the old Panasonic Hoover was until I got hearing aids!    I used to think it was one of the quietest Hoovers ever made!    After I got the aids I took them out before 'ooverin.  I'm looking forward to doing a bit of 'ooverin and dustin' tomorrow.   Then again I could change my mind.

The local Blackie is giving it laldie in the evenings just now.    He's a bonnie whistler right enough.

22.30     I've had a 'strange', one degree under feeling, (but restful) day.    I watched the Ronnie O'Sullivan v John Higgins snooker match this afternoon;  two 'slightly older' Masters playing  amazing snooker at times.    In the evening I watched King Charles  and  Queen Camilla arrive in USA for their State visit.   The State visit will be  a welcome change from 'war' News;  I hope!

Tomorrow I shall get back to my 'Pier project';  'working' in The Hutte.   I'm hoping that the water
pressure is back to normal tomorrow morning:  showering was hard work this morning!    And I'll wait until the morning before I make a plan for tomorrow.   I'm hoping to feel a bit mair 'active';    playing with the new hoover comes to mind!

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...
