Breezy morning ....

25th July 2026 (Saturday)     10.00 .... There's a lot of cloud this morning;  and some of them could

be a light shower cloud.    Apart from that it's a nice morning;  and, I haven't got my hearing aids in;  so all is quiet in Earlsferry.   The immediate 'plan' is, to have another cuppa then go up to Elie to pick up my prescription.     I thought about taking 'The Buggy' but the chance of showers has put me off that idea.  Off to put the kettle 'on'.    I've already had a litre of water this morning, and this will be my second cuppa!  Must drink plenty liquids in this weather.... especially after a warm night.

12.15    Elie was busy when I was at the Chemist;  with people, and traffic.   I met Kirsty in Elie, and Michelle, Derek and Eileen's daughter:   Elie was mostly busy with holiday folk.    

I came home by way of my stopping place at the junction on the Elie and Kinneuchar Station roads.    And got my usual photographs of Kinneuchar kirk and Balcarres Crag.    The sun has burned off a lot of the clouds, so it could be a hot afternoon,  even though it is breezy.    Better force myself to have another cuppa!

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 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...
