now and again.  The showers are infrequent;  do it's "a good drying day" between the showers!  

Michael and Janice are away to Kirkcaldy to do a shopping.    I've ran round with the Hoover and  washed the dishes;  put them in the machine and pressed the button!    Tricky job that.     I'm going to have morning coffee in The Hutte ... and so a Soduko. 

18.30    My word;  I am super impressed with a new TV. that Michael and Janice gave me for an early Father's Day present!   The photographs I get  from it are amazingly sharp.... as you can see from the 'Trooping the Colour' two photographs.   Happy happy 'me'!   The old TV is now in the bedroom!

The weather, although cool, had been kind and I think we've only had one light shower;  if we had any others I slept through them!    Janice and Michael went for a walk to the harbour;  and 'The Ship' on the way home.   I went out to The Hutte' and did a Soduko;  before I fell asleep and woke up cold, because  clouds had drifted over and hidden the sun.

22.30    The change in wind direction (NNW) has upset the auld breathing rubes;  they think it's winter again!   It's not that cold, but it'd sot summer yet!    And we need a long, warm summer to shake of the winter ailments.  

Michael and Janice went to bed early, planning to get up to watch the Scotland n Haiti match at 02.00.

If I am awake any during the game I'll watch it for a wee while;  to see how Scotland are playing.   The fans, that have travelled to the USA , are enjoying the experience:  hopefully Scotland will give them plenty to get excited about.

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...
