Sunny and warm ....

20th May 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .....This is a perfect day for insects, so Iain is at the cliffs

looking for a butterfly that breeds there.  It certainly is a lovely sunny start to the weekend, but light rain showers could come our way later today.    At the moment it's sunny and warm;  which is why Iain is out with the camera.    Me? .... I'm going have another cuppa!

20.30    We've had a busy day;  well Iain has.     Hay fever has been bothering me, so I've been mostly useless.     Anyway the computers have been moved so a quick run round wi' the Hoover, (alias vacuum cleaner) and all will be good.  The bed will have to be made up but I can do that over the next couple of weeks.     
The weather has been kind really;  only a couple of short light showers in the afternoon.   In fact Iain went up to Chapel Green to get a few photos of insects, and didn't have any problems with the weather.  I sat in the Hutte and chatted to Anne;  and did a couple of Soduko's after Anne went off home to spoil Bob.

Tomorrow Iain and I  intend finishing off the bedroom before lunch;  because, after lunch,  Iain will be going back to Auchnagatt to torment Jackie!    There's a good chance of showers tomorrow so it will be a better day for  me 'doing' stuff like 'ooverin' and dustin'.    'Heavy rain' is forecast tor tonight;  but mostly towards the West of Fife.

22.00    The on/off deal in the Middle East is 'off' again... so, nothing new there.   The Ukrainians  and Russians  are still killing each other .... so nothing new there.   'Peace? ..... it will take clever people to bring 'Peace' to  both those wars.   Then there's all the other, 'sort of little wars', with people killing each other, for some stupid reason:  probably because they could get their hands on small arms too easily!   Oh well .... the small arms manufacturers will be happy.

I'm tired tonight after a lazy day day really.   I hope to be a bit more frolicsome and  'Spring Lamb' like
'Boris' resting in The Hutte.
tomorrow.    The villages are still busy with holiday makers;  and we even had more joggers than usual this morning:  it's good seeing folk enjoying Elie and Earlsferry;   but it can be stressful at rimes.

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...
