Wall to wall blue sky .....

21st June 2026 (Sunday)     (Summer Solstice)      11.00 .... Beautiful morning;  warm with a light

Southwesterly breeze.   Perfect day for a potter around on the beach .... under a layer of sun cream!   I had a brilliant night's sleep;  didn't wake up until 08.40.    I won't be watching football in the middle of the night again!   Unless Scotland is in the Final!    

17 .00    My word .... it's hot..... and we have been busy, having been to 'The Crusoe' (Lower Largo) for Father's D\y lunch;   it was a triple celebration:  we celebrated Janice's Dad Father's Day (and Birthday), and Michael's and  My Father's Day.  
 
The Car Park was really busy when we got there, with the Local Community Group walk,starting from the Crusoe Car Park; the walkers, led by a Pipe Band, then walked up to the play park, at the Bowling Green, to have a picnic.  

We enjoyed Lunch at 'The Crusoe.   As usual I had 'Fish n' chips, followed by ice cream.    We had  expected the Hotel to be busy with people celebrating Father's Day;  but is wasn't!    Perhaps, younger Father's would be celebrating by taking the kids to the beach.   It certainly has been a nice day for that!  Anyway we enjoyed our Lunch, the Staff cheery, helpful  and happy.   Just like we were!   Nae wrinkles on 'puku' tonight!    Puku? .... Maori for stomach.


21.30     I'm taking a break from watching the Belgium v Iran World Cup Game from Los Angeles.   At half time the score is 0 - 0.    It has been entertaining game;  with Belgium  the better of the teams, but the Iranian goalkeeper is good!

It has been sunny and warm today;  but, according to   According to the weather forecast we could have
light rain tomorrow;  the wind has backed to the East and is coming off the water!     Janice and Michael are travelling home (Sussex) tomorrow, so we have to get up early to leave , for the Leven Train Station, at 09.00.   This has been a rest day for me;  and I enjoyed my Father's Day treat.    My new 'Father's Day' TV is brilliant, with an assortment of Channels;  could cause me a bit of  excitement looking for them!    

Today's photographs take at 'The Crusoe Hotel'.

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...
