Nice morning .....

1st May 2026 (Friday)      09.45 ....Is this not the morning when we're supposed to wash our faces

with morning dew?    Anyway by the time i got up (slept in)  the morning dew had been evaporated by a warm sun, aided by a drying breeze.    Face washed in the shower, had breakfast, taken a  hay fever pill;  yes... I'm  ready to 'rock 'n roll.     Going by the Glenfuir flags (I can see them) the breeze is from the SSW.

20.30   Although we have light rain just now, most of the daylight hours have been mostly sunny and warm.   Even with the rain the air is warm;  and the pollen count 'low'.    I've had a laz ... er ... restful day.   I didn't mean be 'lazy';  nut I sat down to watch the snooker after lunch and it was so exciting that I couldn't stop watching it.    It's the World Championships (from the Crucible in Sheffield ... on BBC 2 usually)).    The top players in the World have been taking playing, and the snooker has been of supreme quality., and we are at the semi final stage.   I haven't been lazy.... just enthralled by the quality of snooker played.   I did do some 'work' in the morning, and stopped to make cuppas at regular intervals.   Don't want to get dehydrated.    

I've also been keeping up with the News.   I think our former Prime Minister John Major (1990 - 1997) probably said the most intelligent thing that has been said by a politician for many years.   He said some thing profound, and yet so simple:  "that we should leave the World a better place for future generations", and that "all over the World people worry about what kind of World our great grandchildren would inherit".  I think that is the gist of what Mr Major said.  

22.30   I plan to do stuff early tomorrow so that I can watch the snooker in the afternoon.    The four semi-finalists are evenly matched so it makes for brilliant , and exciting, viewing.

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...
