Nice morning ....

17th July 2026 (Friday)     09.00 .... The sun is beginning to break through the light cloud, that

came in from the North Sea overnight:  it should be sunny and warm by midday.   Bonnie holiday weather.  The villages are busy with holidaymakers, and day trippers;  the East Neuk is a proper holiday place now.

17.30    Unsurprisingly, there was a big turnout at George's funeral.   George was a popular. and much liked figure in the local Community, and will be remembered for his happy, beaming smile and willingness to help.   His contribution(s) to the local pantomime is legend, and will long be remembered by young, youngish, and the not so young!    "Our George" will be sadly missed! 

From the Crematorium (Brewesterwells) we went back to Elie Kirk Hall for ad 'After Service' cuppa, sandwiches,... and sweet.   Kirsty and I had a wee run along the Crail road;  we missed the opening to the Crematorium car park!   Anyway at the Kirk Hall, I caught up with the many friends that I haven't seen since before Christmas.   I'll get back into the habit of going to the Elie and Earlsferry Friendship Lunch.. and the Colinsburgh one, after the Summer Recess. 

21.00     After a busy day,  I have to say that I am absolutely shattered!    And we had a hot afternoon;  so, the Tower Fan has a good chance of being on all night as I'm hoping for a restful night.  I want to be 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' tomorrow morning!

My Blue Badge renewal is on the move:.... I paid the £20 that the Council charge for the Badge this afternoon.   It was about the only thing I did in the afternoon .... because of the heat.

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...

1st November 2019 (Friday)       07.00 .... Mmmmm ... it’s cauld and wet Mmmmm .... not the perfect weather for the beach. as per weather forecast;   a real dreich morning.      I am feeling considerably brighter than the weather and looking forward to morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse..... then spending the rest of the day mostly working on the computer, and doing Soduko’s.    I might bake Melting Moments..... baking and sampling 'MM's is always a cheering occupation on a dreich day. 09.00    The sky to the West is showing promising changes in greyness;   could we be in for a few bright spells?    “Light rain showers and a gentle breeze” is the forecast for today.... but a bright spell would be very welcome.    I haven’t been anywhere further than the pavement when manoeuvring the bucket into its ‘ready for emptying’ position.   I’ll have another cuppa then ‘loup’ into the car an...

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.
