Cloudy ....

6th June 2026  (Saturday)     82nd Anniversary of the D Day landings in Normandy.

09.45     The sun was shining at 07.00:  since then the sky has clouded over... but it's isn't raining, though drizzle is mentioned in the weather forecast.    The 'plan' was to go to Methil, and Leven this morning, but I've had a migraine, so will do the visiting tomorrow.    We could get 'sunny spells';  the sky isn't heavily overcast.

This will be a potter around Ivy day:   tidying up for Janice and Michael arriving next week.   Mind you, I don't visualise  much 'work' being done until after I have morning coffee:  I need something to get me into gear.   

15.15    I went out to The Hutte pick up the glass cleaner squirter;  and did a couple of Soduko's when out there.   I can tell you it is not warm today!... and I suspect that the beach will not be busy!   I am not going down to find out!    I'm going to put the kettle 'on', then finish cleaning the window.   

The wind (off the sea) had freshened but, although cloudy, it isn't   raining:  Or wasn't when I came in from The Hutte, but it looks like it might be now.

22.30     I am not fond of the damp East wind we had today;  it was cold, and disagreeable!    The sorted damp East winds!     However I cleaned the inside of the bedroom window and hoovered a bit of the bedroom.  I'm happy tonight!   Mostly because the wind should be from the Southwest tomorrow!

Tomorrow I will do the Methil and Leven trip that I would have done today;  unfortunately the migraine

intervened, and I've had a quiet day pottering.   I actually had to to switch the heating 'on' in the afternoon;   that's how cold it has been today.  Tomorrow? .... KY9 is forecast to have 'light rain and a fresh Southwesterly breeze';  with sunny spells!    It should be a brighter, and (hopefully) warmer!

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...
