Nice morning .....

8th June 2026 (Monday)     10.00 .....  It's a lovely, sunny morning here in KY9 .... a good drying

day|  There is a chance of light showers, but I'm feeling positive.   Not quite 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' yet but definitely more excitable than I have been lately.   The 'plan' is to 'work' in short spells;  this old age thing is a nuisance when it comes to working!    Old age?.... me?.... No.... not yet!   Anyway I'm going to hang out a washing, then do a Soduko in The Hutte.   After all that, I'll be ready for morning coffee.  When I think about it;  I'm ready for morning coffee now!.... having been 'working' in the bathroom.  Kettle 'on'! 

19.15    Today has me thinking Summer thoughts;  it has been a really beautiful sunny, and warm, day in KY9.    The 'light showers' showers missed us;  all we had were some bonnie clouds.    It was too hot for me 'working' in the afternoon  so I went for run in the car;  and ended up having a browse round aisles in the Store' (Anstruther).    I bought a few ...er... 'vital necessities';  and food!.   I'd bought most of what I needed yesterday in Leven;  but some things are packaged to be irresistible!    Tunnock's Caramel  Wafers being one of them.   

The Disabled spaces at the Store entrance were both occupied (one bloo badge) so I parked at the 'Disabled' space near the 'hole in the wall.   That was a bit of luck, because I discovered that there's a bottle bank near there, and got rid of a bag of jars and bottles, that have been in the car boot for a couple of weeks.   The car isn't making funny noises now:  noise that had me wondering what the problem was!

I came home by way of the back roads and the Colinsburgh Straight;  I wanted to see how the new drying 'shed' was progressing.    There is nae place to park to I couldn't stop, but it looks like there East gable has Crow Steps!    If this weather stays with us I'll get the bike out.    I'll have to go "roond The Ferry" a few times first to see how the battery is.    It was 'Full' a couple of weeks ago;  so should be OK for a trial run.


22.30    I'm really tired tonight;  right enough, I have been 'working':  nothing like I used to be able to so, but I suppose I'm older and less able, though mt head doesn't know that!     I'll just 'work' in the morning tomorrow and rest during the warm part of the day..... from midday to 16.00:  then have a proper, Mediterranean type siesta.

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...
