Nice morning ....

15th May 2026 (Friday)      09.39 .... We have a mix of shower clouds and sunny spells this

morning;  and there's a brisk Northwesterly wind so it will be cold on the golf course and beach!    It's 9.6C on the patio thermometer.    I'm going to 'work' in The Hutte, and potter around Ivy today because it's too cold to go 'out and about'.   Ferry Road has been busy this morning;  having said that a car went past just now, and it was silent.   It must have been on battery power.   Off to put the kettle 'on'!

15.00    I fancied a wander to Nana's Seat, but only went as far as Ferry Corner, because it was too cold.   I thought the wind had moderated;  it had, but obviously not by very much.   I might o for a run in the car in the evening.    At the moment we have a batch of heavy looking clouds drifting over, but I don'tb think we'll get rain!    In the meantime, I'm going out to The Hutte to contemplate;  and do a Soduko.

19.00    Although the wind has moderated it is still cold;  apart from that it has been a nice, but cool, Spring day.    However it wasn't nice enough for me to go to Nana's Seat:  I might get 'up' early tomorrow morning and wander down.    

I've had a quiet day.  A big 'Thank You' to Julie for bringing round a bowl of Spaghetti  Bolognese (very tasty SpagBol)... enough for three meals, so I put one in the freezer!   This means that  I didn't need to make food today, so this has been a 'lazy' day;  not a 'quiet' one I mentioned earlier.


Things are moving fast with the Labour Party now.    One of the Manchester MP's has resigned his seat, so that there can be a bye-election, which Andy Burnham has to win to become an MP!    After the bye- election, the 'mechanism' for the election  of a new Leader of the Labour Party, is set in motion, and the  New Leader/Prime minister chosen from those that put their names forward;  including the present the Prime Minister.   

There are a few if's and but's before that happens, but that's the gist of it!  Should Andy Burnham become Leader, he's lucky that he can choose to keep a lot of the present Cabinet in place, to get on with the jobs that they have begun to see bearing fruit!   It's a tricky business is politics!    And

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...
