Sunny and warm ....

9th July 2026 (Wednesday)     09.45 .... It's sunny and warm, but there's a cooling SW breeze so not

too not out in the open:   the patio? ... er... cosy!    In fact I might have my morning coffee  out there.   It's a perfect drying day, so the washing is on the line:  and there's a cat in the garden!    The local Crow is not happy. 

20.00    My word;  it has been a bonnie, sunny and hot day; it was still 25C on the patio thermometer at 18.00.    Up till about 13.00 it was comfortably warm, but the afternoon was hot.   I went inside and watched the tennis.    It must have been horrendously hot for the competitors;   and uncomfortable for the spectators sitting in the sun.

I went down to get a few photos of the progress re the new telegraph pole;  there has been a lot going on there since morning time.   And we have lovely, freshly painted Lines all around The Ferry... where they can get at them.   The Ferry side of Ferry Road has been done!   With this being the holiday season we have few extra cars etc. 'moored up' all over the place.   The Open is at St Andrews next year so Fife Council  will want all the East Neuk villages to look good for the visitors.

When down there watching the activity,  I had a wander along to check the car;  and that I'd left the Blue Badge out.    I had!  But I noticed that it expires next month.   'Flap On'!    Then I remembered that I'd applied to have my badge renewed;  I now have to wait for Fife Council to let me know that they have processed the badge'   It costs £20 for renewal.    'Flap Off', so I wandered back to Ivy, and a welcome cuppa... plus a celebratory 'goodie'.

22.45    It's going to be warm tonight, so the fan will be an (at the lowest setting)   all night.    It's amazing that difference that makes.    I don't know if the fan makes a  noise, but I'll try it out when I have my hearing aids in tomorrow.    I certainly don't hear anything just now!

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...
