Nice morning ....

24th August 2026 (Monday)     19.30 .... I've been a busy boy today;  I even forgot to update

The Hutte in the morning;  and I apologise for that.   Everything was going as per 'plan', and for some obscure reason I forgot my normal morning routine.   I only found out 20 minutes ago that 'The Hutte' hadn't been done;  so I now have a' mild Flap On' to get up to date.

First of all it has been a bonnie sunny day here;  the only problem being the SE breeze.   That wind direction, and the heat, does not agree with me at all.   Anyway we've had a nice day;  and I am tired at the end of it!

As planned I went to Methil to visit Alice, and catch up with her news.   After a 'catch up' cuppa, we went to Sainsbury's to do a wee bit of shopping.   Alice was looking for a clothes line, but they didn't seem to have them in Sainsbury's;  we couldn't find them if they did have them.   Her daughter, Karen, will probably get her one from Amazon.

Alice made a tasty sandwich for lunch, followed by an excellent Lemony sweet... and a cup of coffee.    Alice had her daughter (Theresa) and son in law Sandy visiting in the afternoon, so I didn't linger long!

The much mentioned Inner Ear MRI scan is happening on the 4th September at the Vic in Kirkcaldy.   The Vic is easy to get to:  I take the car to Methil to pick up Alice (if she is available on that date) then we go down to Leven Bus Station and loup on on to a bus that drops us, near enough, at the front door of the Vic.

Tomorrow is going to be a 'rest day'!     I'm not going to 'plan' anything .... I'll  just take the day as it comes.   On Wednesday I have an appointment at Randolph Wemyess to get a cyncytial 'jab':  this will help me keep colds at bay in the winter.

21.30    It feels chilly out tonight (I was out shutting  up The Hutte), but that's probably because it has

been a sunny and  warm day.    Tomorrow's weather is going to be much the same today's, so I am going to do the washing I forgot to do this morning!

Although tired tonight, I am feeling brighter;  and I did a hard Soduko this afternoon!.... so I am a'happy boy' again.

Today's photographs:  Top - Comma butterfly, Middle - Tree in the Riverstone Cafe, Otaki, garden.   Local knitters produce the scarves to decorate the trees! .... and Bottom - local coastal erosion.

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.
