Dreich start to the morning ....

Henry.
4th August 2026 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... We have a grey and damp morning coming in on a SE
breeze from from the North Sea;  "dreich" best describes best what the weather is like just now!    However,  the breeze is going to veer to the South, hopefully  bringing brighter spells in the afternoon.     I'm missing the 'Troops':  Henry and Austen wouldn't be bothered by the 'dreich' weather... they'd just get on with doing their thing.   'Drying days'?.... that's something for Mummy and Daddy to bother about;  we've got things to do!


16.30  The sky brightened up a bit in the afternoon but we never had any sunny spells, which was disappointing.    At least it has been mostly dry though we did have a few spots of rain around lunch time.

I went to Elie after morning coffee to get an appointment at Lorraine's (Hairdresser).   I got lucky as Lorraine had a cancellation and I could get done after Iain (Murdoch) who was having his haircut when I went in.   So the three of us had a good old natter.   In fact Ken (Murray) came in so that made it a four person natter.   I've had my haircut  so I'm feeling  almost frisky.  

When I go to Elie at this time of year, I always go up the Ferry Road and down the Elie road, to avoid the congestion that can happen in Links Place (Elie).     Anyway when I got to the Broomlees junction with the Main Road the Air Ambulance helicopter was sitting in the corner of the field.  Apparently it was on a mission and had broken down.

I'm going to make a fresh cuppa, and sort out something for dinner!
The sun has broken through and it looks like we could have a nice evening.

21.30      Although the late afternoon and evening have been sunnier we have had a couple of short, thundery showers.    Having just seen the weather forecast, it looks like tomorrow could be a mostly dry day;   maybe even a good drying day.   

I'm going to have an early night in bed.   The 'plan' is to go Leven and Methil tomorrow, but that
Mummy with Henry and Austin.
depends on the weather and how I'm feeling.   And, if it does look like being a good drying day I might hang out the wee bit of washing that's in the machine before I go.   Could be a busy day for me!  

This evening I left the TV buttons on the wee coffee table by my chair:  the first time I've done that since the 'troops' left!

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.
