Sunny ....

10th May 2026 (Sunday)     09.00 .... It's a lovely sunny morning, with hardly any breeze;  what

wind there is is from the Westerly direction, and warm in the sun.   However, if the wind freshens it could be chilly.   Ferry Road has been quiet so far;  I haven't seen a single jogger pass the window this morning.    

19.45    It has been a lovely, sunny and warm, day;  but it has clouded over in the past hour or so.   A band of rain is going to pass over us overnight;  which is handy when it comes to watering the tubs.   

I've had a lazy day:  playing with the new hoover  was tiring 'work'.... as I found out today.   Anyway I know how to  put it together now, and I enjoyed using it once it was operational.   

My morning started with a migraine, so most of 'today' has been spent resting in The Hutte;  the only 'work'  was watering the tubs, and the greenhouse late in the afternoon.   That was heavy work.    I then made sausages and mash for dinner;   and I enjoyed it.    I see that the wind has freshened so I'm going out to close up the greenhouse and The Hutte.   I might set up a Soduko for tomorrow morning when I'm out there.   And, I'll put the kettle 'on' before I go out!

19.30  That's the greenhouse and The Hutte battened sown for the night.   The wind has freshened quite a bit, but it was warm in The Hutte so I had my cuppa out there.   

I got a surprise phone call yesterday;  it was from Colin and Sue (New Zealand).   Colin is Margaret's son (Sue his partner);  the Margaret whom I visited, out in New Zealand, in 2014.    Colin and Sue are over here on holiday and are staying in St Minnins, and  are visiting me tomorrow afternoon.  All that playing with the hoover wasn't wasted;  the living room is looking good!  That was lucky. 

 I might have a flick round with the feather duster in the morning!n    There are still enough feathers left

in it to call it a 'feather' duster.   Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing Colin and Sue tomorrow afternoon.

I'm tired tonight;  I won't be playing with the hoover for a long time!

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...
