Sunny and hot .....

10th July 2026 (Friday)     11.00 .... We have another sunny and hot start to the weekend;  there is bit of a change on.... the breeze is from the Easterly direction so fog/haar could drift in from the North sea later in the wvwning. 

Today's plan?..... it's another day of 'hiding from the heat' for me.   Luckily we have the tennis (Wimbledon)  on BBC, so I'll watch that;  Arthur Fery is playing Alexander Sverev, for a place in the Final!   

16.15    Arthur Fery lost his semi final match with Alexander Sverev;  I think that this is the first time he has been this far in The Championship.    He (Fery) is young, and should make it to the Championship Final in the next year or so.

I got The Buggy out of it's 'nest' this morning and charged  the battery, but, by the time I'd done that and cleared the 'runway' the 'heat of the day was on'  (and the tennis) so I decided not to go out today.   Actually Fery Road was been busy with traffic, and the East wind had freshened, another two reasons for not going out.    However 'The Buggy'  is ready to 'go' anytime;  so the 'plan' is to go out (and back home) early some morning before the traffic gets busy:  probably Monday or Tuesday of next week.

20.00    I've been 'busy' today;  even managed to do some weeding;  but (luckily for me) the broon bucket is nearly full so I forced myself to stop.   

I see that 322 of the Labour Party MP's have backed Andy Burnham to be their next Leader;  and our

next Prime Minister.It will be interesting to see how he gets on at 'Prime Minister's Questions'!   I only hope that this 'move' works for them;  and that the Labour Party doesn't find itself back in the 'wilderness' after the nest General Election.

Meanwhile. the 'Enemy', (of all the other Party's), Nigel Farage has resigned, and is/was hoping to have an exciting by-election in Clacton.   However none of the main Party's want to 'play', and he looks like being opposed by a bin.   Bit of a job if the 'Count Binface Party' wins!.

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...
