Nice morning ....

23rd May 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .... we have a lovely, sunny and warm (15C) KY9

this morning;    and there's a cool, light breeze, off the SW .... a pleasantly warm start to the holiday weekend.   A bit different from the the SE corner of England, where there could be some really hot spots over the next few days.  imagine that the local beaches will be busy;  aye, even the Elie and Earlsferry beaches!    That said, when  cloud obscures the sun,  it's actually cool;   I'm off to find a scarf and windcheater.    Only joking;  but I am going to put the kettle 'on'.  

20.00    It had been a lovely Spring Day, and loads o' folk have been going up and down Ferry Road .... to and from the beach  I assume.   The bulk of the cloud cleared away after lunch and it has been sunny and warm ever since.    There is a light Westerly breeze, so it isn't too hot.   I haven't been further than The Hutte, but the booster effects are wearing off,  and I should be near enough back to normal tomorrow.

I watched a programme about the weather on BBC, and that was really interesting.   I missed the start of it so hope it's on BBC i Player.     I should use i Player more often;  I have a bad habit of missing the start of some good programmes.   

22.30    It's going to be warmer tomorrow;  especially in the South East.   We are to have a repeat of today's weather, but warmer, verging on 'hot'.


I've had another 'lazy' day, but hope that the effects of the booster jab will have worn off by Monday:  it usually takes a few days.   Anyway I'm thankful that we have the vaccine;  it may be a bummer, but I don't fancy the alternative .... I have a lot I need to do!

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...
