Cloudy with blue patches .....

19th August 2026 (Wednesday)    08.45 .... Although the sky is mostly cloudy, it's a nice enough
morning;  and, with a few blue patches in the cloud we could get a few sunny spells.    Heavy, thundery showers, are forecast for the afternoon.   I was thinking of doing a washing!.... but that has been cancelled. 

14.45    We haven't had any of the heavy showers forecast,  but I can see the big old shower clouds at various points of the compass, so we might catch a shower.    When I think of it I could have done the washing!  

So far I have been 'lazy' today.    I went to Elie  (Chemist) to get something to clear up a throat infection (Thrush),  brought on by the pills I was taking.   According to the leaflet I should be frolicking about in a couple of days.    I'm looking forward to that.

20.00    A heavy shower has come our way at last, to water the flower tubs;  I was beginning to think I'd have to do it.  Anyway we've had a nice afternoon, and I'm wishing that I had done the washing this morning.   There's a Yellow Warning, that includes Fife, for Thundery showers;  active until 21.00 this evening.   

I have a Phone Appointment with the ENT Team at Queen Margaret (Dunfermline) tomorrow.   It's on the mobile so that is a challenge for my auld fingers.

The medication I got to remove the throat infection seems to be working;  my tongue is already looking much better.   I'll be really happy when I start to actually feel better!

I haven't slept quite as much today;  and,  have been able to do a hard Soduko.   Everything is quiet in
the garden just now;  plenty White Butterflies, with an odd Peacock or Red Admiral mixing in.    

It has been a good year for butterflies;  and they continue to move Northwards with the warmer weather.    They, the butterflies, are good examples of insects taking advantage of Global warming.

Other than taking the ENT phone appointment, I have no 'plan' for tomorrow.   The weather looks like it's going to much the same as it was today:   "light rain on a moderate Northerly breeze.   The ENT appointment is at 12.10 so I'll have the afternoon to 'rest'!

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.
