Nice morning ....

3rd July 2026 (Friday)     10.00 .... It's a nice morning, with a sky that has mix of clouds and blue

bits (5/8 clouds) clouds coming over on a moderate NW wind (some of the clouds look like healthy shower clouds);    drizzle is mentioned for later in the afternoon evening.  Joggers have been  noted, going down, and up, Ferry Road;  plus a wheen o' cars going down Ferry Road.    It's a morning to be doing things;  in my case 'doing' is limited tae no' very much, but is enjoyable just the same.    

20.30    I often wonder why I am tired by evening time;  but when I think about it, I 'potter about',  more or less, all the time, from when I get up, until lunchtime, then have a rest until 16.00 then begin all over again until 18.00. when I have dinner then settle down to watch the TV.

21.45    'JB' and a friend (I'll get the details later) have been walking the last part of the 'English Way Pilgrimage Route to Santiago.   In medieval times, when pilgrimage was at it's peak, the 'English Route was by boat from England to a port in Spain then finish the pilgrimage on foot.    

Our two modern pilgrims would probably fly out to Spain to join the 'English Pilgrimage Route.  This will entitle 'JB', and his pal, to wear the scallop badges, that you buy only in in Santiago;  having done the pilgrimage.    Well done 'Troops'!

John ('JB")) sent five photographs to my Frameo, and I've been able to photograph four of them.... I'm sure the one I have yet to get is of the two of them at the start!    My Frameo is set at 'random' so it's pot luck as to how long I have to sit to get that last photograph.    That's the kind of job I do when I'm resting in the afternoon.   Of course I could read the 'rools' and find out how to find individual photographs.   I'll do that in bed tonight.

The light rain that was forecast has arrived to water the flower tubs;  this rain should keep them wet

until the next spell of light rain on Sunday.    I'm starting to think that John's Pilgrimage is working!

Plan for tomorrow?..... finish making up the bed for Jackie (Auchnagatt) arriving on Sunday evening.   She will be staying for a could of nights, then moving to Students Residence in St Andrews.... for her Classical Guitar Annual 'get thegither'.    

Today's photographs!   Top - my clean patio.    Michael cleaned it with stuff to rake off the green mould, and it certainly worked!    Middle - John walking part of he 'English Way' to Santiago de Compostela,  and bottom - The Cathedral at Santiago de Compostela.

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...
