Nice morning .....

6th July 2026 (Monday)     09.45 .... It's cloudy with a cool breeze;  but it's dry and Jackie is

thinning out the wee... er ... wild flowers in the garden.    Me? ..... I'm having a rest day after the 'Flap on' day I had yesterday!     The temporary traffic lights are 'operational';  protection the workmen at the new telephone pole at Rotten Row.   I've moved my car to the 'Disabled' space at the Town Hall.   I'll put the kettle 'on' then see how Jackie is getting on.   Oh .... England beat Mexico 3 - 2, and are through to the last eight.

18.30    Jackie spent the morning, removing a 'few' the weeds  from the garden;  the broon bucket is full, so the 'few' must have been big weeds!   She ii visiting a friend up near Cupar in the afternoon.

After watching the England v Mexico game on BBC2, I sis a wee bit of house work, the went out to The Hutte to do a 'Soduko';  and it was a hard one. and took longer than usual.    I must take a photograph of the Soduko Board I got for Christmas.   Jackie came in for a break from the weeding.   But she gor restless looking out at some weeds! 
When Jackie went off to visit her friend I started to watch le Tour, and fell asleep.   However I woke up in time to see the last 89 kilometres;  the exciting bit.


It has been cooler today, but the next heat wave is fast approaching and temperatures should begin to rise by Wednesday.   There's an Amber Warning out for the parts of England, but Scotland should miss  the heatwave temperatures.    We should be round about the average for this time of year.

I'm going to put the kettle 'on' and have a cuppa.   And switch on the dishwasher.   Last night I had to
have a late cuppa while waiting for the dishwasher to finish.   I nearly saw the start of the England  v Mexico game!

Photographs taken this morning.

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...
