Sunny, with a cool breeze ....

25th June 2026 (Thursday)     09.50.... It's another  sunny morning but there's a cool Easterly

breeze, so the patio, although at 18C) isn't as warm as yesterday at this time.  The pollen count is High, but probably not as High as it was yesterday, because of the change in wind direction.    It's a nice drying day so I shall finish off the 'holiday' washing.   The 'plan' is to avoid going out as much as I can;  I'll tidy up the kitchen.

I watched the first half of Scotland v Brazil last night, and  watched the watch the highlights on BBC i Player before this update.   Brazil won 3 - 0, but Scotland looked more like a football 'Team' against Brazil.    We now wait for the last Group games to be played, before top see if we qualify for the next sage of the 2026 World Cup.   Its hard on the blood pressure being a Scotland supporter!

17.45    It has been another uncomfortably warm/hot day, until the haar came in from the North Sea in the afternoon.  That said, there has been the cooling onshore wind all day, so a bit more pleasant than down south.

I stayed 'in' most of the time;  only venturing out to attend to the washing and do a Soduko.   I tidied up the kitchen;  and cleaned the cooker etc. in the morning, but when the heat of the day came I went into rest mode and watched the story of Yvonne Goolagong on BBC i Player.   The new TV has a multitude of  Channels that will interest me.

The 'haar' has taken the heat out of the sun, but it's humid;  so it will be another uncomfortable night for

sleeping.    I'll switch on the fan for an hour when I go to bed and that gets me off to sleep.  I'm choked up with hay fever and might have a 'JT' at bedtime.    I'm hungry, and ready for dinner;  which is  a ready meal Lasagne, so easy to so.

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...
