Nice morning ....

12th July 2026 (Sunday)     08.30 .... It'a a quiet, peaceful, kind of morning;  there's a layer of light

cloud but it is starting to break up, so I'm expecting 'sunny spells' later.   

 I got 'up' early this morning  to watch a recording of the England v Norway World Cup Quarter Final, on BBC2 ..... it was on too late last night for me to stay up and watch 'live'.   An evenly matched game; England eventually won 2 - 1.     

I have no 'plan' for today: after after a busy day yesterday, I think a 'rest day', pottering around the garden,  is a good idea.

22.45    It has been a lovely, sunny and warm day;  and an eventful day!    My Great Grandson,  Austen (Rushton), was christened  in Somerset, and Michael sent photos (25) of Austen's christening, to my Frameo.    

The Frameo is set to random, so taking photographs off the Frameo is a restful kind of 'job'.  It works out that one of the christening photographs photographs appears on the Frameo screen every 7 minutes.  So far I have managed to take five, of the 25 that Michael sent.   I have a restful day ahead tomorrow!   Maybe I should read read the instruction booklet and find out how to actually find individual photographs.   That's tomorrow's 'plan'.

What did I do today?    You know, to me, this morning feels like it happened a couple o' days ago, not just 12 hours ago!     Anyway I watered the flower tubs in the morning, hung out a washing (I'm looking for things to wash when the weather is kind!), did a really hard Soduko, then had lunch.   By then it was too hot for me outside, so I went in and watched the Gentlemen's Wimbledon Championship Final. 

I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow:  tomorrow's weather is going to be much the same as

today's, so I'll try and do some light 'work' around Ivy.   And try to get the remainder of the Christening photographs into the Alberto Archive.

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...
