Light cloud .....

6th August 2026 (Thursday)     09.15 .... I expected a brighter start to the morning.   We have a
grey sky just now, and all the Fife Weather cams have a cloudy, but there are a few brighter patches, so we might get 'sunny spells' later.     Me? ...... I've reached the conclusion that this is a flu' bug;  not a summer cold as I originally thought.   I've had the 'flu jab so it should be mild.    Mild... Man 'Flu?     I've taken the pills, but the scientists have yet to invent a pill that can combat 'Man 'flu'.   I'll be lying low for the next couple of days.  

18.30    I've had a lazy day, but I id manage to wash and hang out a couple of sheets.   That leaves the downie cover for tomorrow:     The weather has been fine today, but much colder than  of late:  I put the heating on to help me shake of this /bug'.    I'll have toddie and get into bed early tonight.  

I'm reading a book called "12 Jobs in 12 months". by Robert Wolfe Murray.   An inspirational Travel Book.   I'm hoping to have  a decent night's sleep tonight;  last night was not good. but I'v'e had few cat- naps this afternoon.
I'd better go and take in the washing;  I'm going to leave it in The Hutte tonight;  hoping to be fitter tomorrow.

Being more or less confined to Ivy, I've been watching the 'News';   The FIFA President (Infantino) is going to stay in the job:  I expected him to resign!     
The Ukraine and Iran Wars blunder along, with people being killed , and infrastructure destroyed on all sides.   Seems kind of pointless really but that's the way with Wars.    

22.15     I do believe that I'm feeling slightly better than I did last night.    I don't think I'll be joining the
joggers tomorrow, but I might go as far as the gate.   

Today's photographs were all taken in 2014:  the Middle one of the Praying Mantis taken in New Zealand, where I was on holiday.   My friend Margaret ('M') is holding the Mantis.

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.
