Nice morning ....

15th August 2026 (Saturday)    09.15 .... Iain is away for a walk with the camera, to get a few

photographs of insects.   This is the best time of time of year for insects 'being on the wing'.   Me? ..... I'm having a cuppa before getting into 'ready to go shopping' mode.    Yesterday was a busy day mentally, and physically, so I am tired today:  even after a good night's sleep!    It's a lovely sunny,  fresh feeling morning just now:  I'm hoping it isn't going to be hot.

21.30    We eventually went to Sainsbury's (Leven)  after lunch, because Iain managed to get a photo of a 'new' butterfly for this area.   I forget it's name, but it has moved up from England and  arrived in Scotland a few of years ago.    So this excitement delayed  the shopping trip. 

Sainsbury's wasn't very busy, which was surprising because the roads were.   Of course there are more exciting destinations than Sainsbury's!    For instance;   wherever the car, on the trailer, in the top photographs was bound for.    Could this be something to do with the Vintage Car Rally season?    

The 'BF' Registration letters tells us that it was in originally registered in Staffordshire.   Anyway, we followed it all the way to The Scoonie roundabout, where it went straight on;  we went  'left', to Leven .... and Sainsbury's.

Iain is busy sorting out his Butterfly Photographs (I've remembered the name -it's a 'Wall Brown'), while I am updating The Hutte.    He plans on setting off for home after lunch;  dropping into Tesco's (Ellon) to pick up some shopping on the way home. 

The sky has clouded over since afternoon, and there is a slight chance of 'spits and spots' of light rain tomorrow.    I don't plan on going anywhere tomorrow.   I took the last of my pills this morning, and hope to shake of any 'side effects' I might have.... if any.   However I wasn't as fit this time, so wasn't able to 'work them off'.   I certainly 'worked them off' that time.
 
23.30   This has been a funny old day for me;  I forgot to turn on the fan last night, and have suffered for
it all day.     I'm not going to make that mistake tonight;  the fan is already on.

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.
