Nice morning ....

23rd June 2026 (Tuesday)     10.00 .... It's sunny, and warm, with shower clouds bumbling over ona moderate Westerly breeze.    So there is the chance of light showers to cool things down;  and water the flower tubs.    I'm going to hang out a washing, hoping that any showers there may be, are somewhere else! 

It was hot in bed last night;  but, Michael bought me a 'fan' thing, that cools the air, even at the lowest setting (Status 32" Tower Fan);  so no problem sleeping.   The worst time will be in the middle of the day; I'll stay inside, drink copious amounts of water/tea... and maybe even do some light 'ousework.

16.00    It's cosy out;   28C on the patio.   It's a sun trap so not quite as hot as that out in the open.   The washing I hung out has dried and I've hung out another couple of towels.   If the weather is like this tomorrow I'll do the bedding!   I've been drinking plenty water, but right now I'm going to have a cuppa!

22.15     It was hot last night, but it's going to be much hotter tonight;  I had a  look at the patio thermometer when I went out to bring in the washing, and the thermometer was at 20C.   A cosy night ahead!

I've had a busy day doing the washing, and tomorrow should see all the 'holiday' washing done!    the sheets have been washed, ready to go out first thing in the morning:  in fact I was toying with hanging them out tonight.    

Tomorrow is going to be another sunny and hot day, and therefore a good drying day!   That means I'm active until around about midday, then lie low in Ivy during the heat of the day;  becoming active about 16.00.   Global warming seems to be  happening faster than expected.    If that is the case, what is it going to be like at the end of this century?    

My 'plan' for tomorrow is simple;  hang out the washing, go up to Elie (in the car), get a paper, and

maybe even have a run own to the harbour., if I'm on the move early enough.

Today's photographs are from the garden.   Top - Spear Thistle, Middle - Rose (with Greenfly), and Bottom = the Peony Rose fully open.   It has a pleasant and delicate fragrance. The heads are heavy, so I'll have to put in a bamboo cane to hold them up tomorrow.

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.

4th April 2026 (Saturday)     09.40 .... We have a bright and breezy' morning;  a good morning for the joggers (been there done that.... and i wish I could do it now) that were out early.    I shall have morning coffee in 'The Hutte, because although the sky is cloudier now that it was earlier, we still have sunny spells, but light rain showers are mentioned in the weather forecast for KY9:  with gales overnight into Saturday morning. 14.45    I've been doing some research;  and playing with the pictures I got, off the Photo Frame, last night.    The weather has deteriorated ans we not have an overcast sky, with occasional spells of light rain;  and the wind has freshened a bit.    I'm going to make a fresh cuppa, then settle down to watch the News.     And have my afternoon catnap!   I blame the cat that meandered in yesterday;  it reminded me that I enjoy a catnap! 19.30  ...
