Nice morning ....

18th July 2026 (Saturday)    09.00 .....  It had been a quiet morning; so all is good at the Ferry end

of the villages.   A group of brightly dressed joggers pattered their way down Ferry Road, .... but not much else happening.   

I had a  a night of 8 hours, unbroken sleep last night;  I knew I was tired when I went to bed, but I didn't think I was that tired.   I'm going to Methil to annoy Alice (before she goes off on a weeks Coach Tour to Wales) and Leven this morning;  got some bits and pieces to buy.  

20.30    It has been another sunny, warm (hot in the middle of the day), day:  too hot for me, but perfect for the holidaymakers.

I went to Leven as planned, visited Alice to see if she had packed her case ("not yet;  got all day tomorrow"), had a cuppa then went to the the Bargain Store and Sainsbury's.   Both shops were busy;  with some well filled a trolleys in Sainsbury's.   

By the time we got back to Alice's the midday sun was hot and we were glad to get inside.  We had a tasty roll, followed by an even tastier sweet.    That was followed be coffee before I set off for home.     The roads were busy (always are nowadays).    Upper Largo was the worst place to get through;  a work van cut the street down to a single lane, and, with cars parked on both sides of the Main Street further on, it was near enough only one lane if you met one of those huge cars. Anyway I got through, and back to Ivy, much in need of a cuppa!

Apart from the shopping trip I have been a 'lazy boy' today.:   spending most of my time in The Hutte.  thinking about the 'good old days', and doing Soduko's.   I came to the conclusion that my 'good old days' started when I was 4 years old;  and ended about three days ago!   That's when I forget what I did three days ago, and everything merges into the 'good old days'!

I'm hoping to get out with the camera tomorrow, but it depends on how busy the streets are. and how
adventurous I feel.

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...
