Light rain ....

16th June 2026 (Tuesday)    10.00 ..... It's overcast, with light rain at the moment, but it should

brighten up, to give us sunny spells in the afternoon.    There's a light, southeasterly  breeze, so not as warm as it should be in June.    It's cosy down in 'Sunny Sussex'.  

14.15    Michael and Janice went to Leven to get some bits and pieces:  I stayed  at home nursing a cold I have.   I picked it up last Thursday in the 'Store'; so should begin to feel 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' tomorrow.

The weather has been a bit of a let down this morning;  but the sky is brightening up now and we expect sunny spells shortly.   We've been watching the tennis from Eastbourne (Queens) and can see that it's sunny in, would you believe it.... 'Sunny Sussex'!    

15.00    Michael and Janice are away for a walk, so I am thinking of going out to The Hutte for 'afternoon coffee'.   That said;  the sun has yet to break through the cloud, so it might not be warm out there.    

Good News from the Middle East!   At last we have some form of Peace Deal.   Let's hope it leads to a long lasting peace in the area.   In fact;  let's forget the history of the Middle East up to now:  and start a new period of peaceful co-existence, with neighbour helping neighbour., instead of killing each other.  It would be hard work to get to that stage, but the present 'Peace Deal' could be seen as a New Beginning!    A chance to try something completely different in the Middle East!   

17.30    The sunny spells never came to much;  in fact it has been a mostly overcast and cold afternoon.

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...
