Cloudy .....

18th June 2026 (Thursday)      09.30 .... St the moment it's cloudy but dry;  however light

rain forecast.  That said, at times it looks like the sun could break through and give us sunny spells.    I was thinking of doing a washing, but I'll leave that for another day.    I'll run round wi' the Hoover instead.   I'm tired after an enjoyable day yesterday;  today will be a rest day.

21.00   Michael and Janice went to the Ceres Museum in the morning;  Me? .... I wasn't as frolicsome as I'd hoped to be, so stayed at Ivy and caught up with some 'ousework.    When they got back from Ceres Janice and Michael decided to walk to Lower Largo (their 20,000 steps) via Dumbarnie Golf Links.   After a refreshing cup of coffee in the Railway Tavern, they caught the bus to Elie.    By this time it was raining heavily, so they got soaked walking from Elie to Ivy.


While 'The Troops' were doing their 20,000 steps I did the washing I mentioned earlier, and hung it out!   According to my 'plan' the rain had to stop;  which it has!....and, this bring a short night, the washing should be dry before morning coffee time!   That said, it has much drying to do!.... having had an extra long rinse in the afternoon!

22.30     Although the rain stopped a few hours ago, there isn't a breeze to dry the washing.   I think there will be a breeze with the rising of the sun at 04.22. 

Michael and Janice were tired after there hike to Lower Largo! .... and went off to bed earlier  to watch the Switzerland v Bosnia Herzegovina   World cup game on the bedroom TV.    The one withe the flawed screen.

I don't know what plans 'The Troops' have for tomorrow;  I only hope that I'm feeling 'friskier' than I
have been today.   That said I have done a fair amount of 'work' so I'm happy enough!.... but tired.  

Today's photographs! .... Top - Peony Rose;  Middle - the road to Largoward just North of Robin Gray's cottage;  and Bottom - Kinneuchar.

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...
