Bright and breezy ....

14th May 2026 (Thursday)     09.45 .... It's nice, fresh morning, with a mix of clouds and sunny

spells;  the wind is from the NNW do it isn't warm out in the open.   It will be cosy in The Hutte!    There was a strong smell of 'kippers' in the  this morning;  I assume it was coming from the smoke house in St Minnins..  This was early in the morning when the breeze was lighter with East in it.

It seems like the Labour Party MP's are determined to have a Leadership contest.    Floundering around looking for a new leader is plain daft;  give the present Leader, and his team, the five years that they deserve after the  2024 Election victory!   Anyway, do any of of the 'Leadership' contenders have the qualities needed to lead the country? ..... or represent us at the International Table?   I think the MP's should think again, because they are getting close to the cliff edge!

13.30    The weather has been a mix of showers and sunny spells;  iggzactly' as was forecast.   Me? .... I've done the ironing (that I threatened to do last night), and hooverin.   I must admit that the new Hoover does it's job well;  it would be easier if I remembered about the slide thing.   Anyway, I've done my 'work' for the day;  I was thinking of going round the villages in the car, but it's raining just now.   It's probably about now I should have an afternoon coffee, and a catnap.




20.30    I had a short walk ,up to the phone box, to get today's photographs; it was sunny at the time but we've had a few light showers     It was cold in the wind so I didn't stay out for long!

The Labour Party MP's have moved to the edge of the cliff;  they appear to be starting to organise replacing the Prime Minister.   That move could take a while;  the 'magician' that is expected to replace the PM is Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, and he is not an MP at the moment.    

I can't see how changing the Prime Minister will make any difference:  the 'new' Prime Minister will
still have problems to face, as Prime Minister Starmer, and his Team, have since they won the Election in 2024:  and are at last beginning to see some reward for their hard work to date!   That said, it will be interesting to see what happens when  the 'new' Prime Minister  eventually takes over.  He might have a magic wand!

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...
