Overcast and damp ....

29th July 2026 (Wednesday)     09.00 .... It's cloudy and warm, with light rain and sunny spells forecast for KY9.   Nice quiet morning actually; but it will get louder once I put my hearing aids in.   No 'plan' for today;  but I might venture out for a short walk after this update:   the sky is looking like a sunny spell could be on it's way.    

13.30    I had a short walk;  the phone box, Thistle Clubhouse, Rotten Row Ferry Corner and home.    
A short walk, but enjoyable just the same.     I am glad that I did all the walking and biking that I with Maggie,  with friends, and on my own, when I was able;  and have the photographs to browse when I'm old!    

There are bits of blue in the sky just now so we could be in for a bright, and warm,  afternoon.   I'm contemplating doing some 'ousework;  that means I saw the Hoover and had a fleeting thought about 'ousework.    The wee 'Troops'  (Great Grandchildren Henry and Austen, with Mum and Dad, Emily and John, from Somerset) don't arrive until Friday morning;  loads o' time for 'ousework!

17.00   Oops...there's not much time for 'ousework now:  I fell sound sleep in the afternoon.  I can visualise this developing into into 'Major Flap On';  but not yet.   Why? .... because the flower tubs are being taken care of ..... it's raining!  Loads o' time for 'ousework!

20.00    The rain we have just now is going to fade away overnight, to give us a "sunny spells, with a moderate breeze" day,  tomorrow.    That's handy because I have a small washing to do!   I'll do the washing tonight and hang it out first thing in the morning.

I see that Any Burnham is going to tackle the 'Social care' problem in England.... and he wants to do it
'cross party'.   That is sensible because it is a massive problem and needs sorting out in a sensitive and constructive manner.   It could work;  as long as the other Party's don't come up with their, so called, 'Red Lines'.    This problem  needs talking through, without threats!

I'm going to have a cuppa then do a wee bit 'ooverin' and dustin'!   Maybe!

The weather forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, is excellent;  especially Saturday and Sunday.   That's when 'The Troops' are here.

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.
