Nice morning ....

31st May 2026 (Sunday)      10.00 .... It's a nice morning;  mostly sunny, with a cloud briefly hiding

the sun now and again.    A good morning for Sasha doing the beach clean she organised for this morning.  I' had planned to go to The breakwater (starting point) to take photos for the blog, but got absorbed by 'work'.....  beds to strip and washing to do.    

19.00     It has been a really nice, sunny and warm, day.... and  a perfect drying day.   Moving the computer was the big job when re-organising the bedrooms, but Iain had that done by mid morning;  I had the washing machine going and did the bedding, the last of which should be almost dry by now.    The first load dried in 'nae time'.

Iain set off for Auchnagatt after lunch;  I did the second load of washing, then settled sown in The Hutte to watch the washing dry;  and do a Soduko.   It was too hot in The Hutte so moved into Ivy and settled down to have a quiet cat-nap after a busy morning.    I have surprised myself by how much I have been able to do today.   I have the feeling that tomorrow is going to be rest day.   There is work still to be done in the 'big'  bedroom, but that will be done at a more leisurely pace.

I'd better go and see how the last bit of washing (a downie cover) is drying;  I see a dark cloud coming over.    We're to have rain at times tomorrow;  definitely not a good drying day.

20.30   I've been playing with my new phone,  but have yet to take a photograph with it.    Janice will have to teach me how to so that, and how to send them to the computer.   I can read the News and check the weather but ghat's about all.    Tomorrow is going to be a rest day, and probably wet in the morning;  perfect for 'playing' with the phone.

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...
