Nice morning ....

31st July 2026 (Friday)     07.30 ..... It's a bonnie morning, with a nice fresh feel to the air;  a day

for doing things.    Me? ..... I'm going to have a 'rest' day.   I got 'up' at 06.00 as planned, but I don't think I'll be doing much today.    I didn't do very much yesterday, but walking round the supermarket tires the auld legs. ... and I'm excited about the 'Troops' coming.    Yes... this could be a 'rest day'.

20.30    'The Troops' are here!    'Ivy Cottage' is alive;  with young, happy (maist o' the time) sounds.   Sometimes they both want the same thing, and that can lead to .... a temporary tiff.    I'm surprised at how advanced they both are:  and how inquisitive they are.   And Ivy Cottage is full of things that need investigating!    The TV 'button' have been for a couple of walks;  and are now in a 'safe' place.

As planned I had a 'rest day'! .... na different kind o' rest day.  They have been to the beach, and had a mandatory dig in the sand:  it will be a couple of years before they do a 'beach drainer';  but they definitely have the natural instincts for that.

Having got 'up' early to do things, I was in much need of my afternoon siesta.;  so I fell sound asleep, in 'The Hutte' ,for over an hour.    Emily and John,  drove up from Somerset overnight, so John was in need of a nap in the afternoon too.... as he had done most of the driving.    While we were both sleeping, Emily took Henry and Austen for a walk to the harbour.

Emily and John are going to Pittenweem  Art Festival tomorrow;  an Artist  friend is exhibiting.   I can't do the walking involved now, so can't go.

The combination of getting  getting up at 06.00 and excitement has got me really tired tonight.    I won't have much trouble sleeping!    I don't have a'plan' for tomorrow;  I'll just enjoy the company of 'The Troops'....  and have the occasional cat nap in The Hutte.

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  ...
