Nice morning ....

5th August 2026 (Wednesday)  

09.45 ..... It's a lovely, sunny and warm, morning;  there are
shower clouds bumbling over, so we have the chance of a shower.   However,  I'm hoping that any showers are going to be somewhere else, so I have hung out a washing.   

This is going to be a 'rest day'.    I'd originally intended going to Methil to annoy Alice, but I feel 'sluggish',  so a 'rest' day it is.   I'll now have an early morning coffee.

20.30     It ha been a breezy day, but the showers never reach us, so the beach would have been busy.   I have a 'summer cold';  hence the sluggish feeling.   I hope I haven't passed it on to the 'Troops'.  In the meantime I'll have a 'JT' before bed.   I have plenty food stuffs so don't need to go shopping;  Emily and John bought me milk etc.... so tomorrow, and probably Friday, will be stay in, and "oot o' the rood "days.    Did I hear Alice breathe a sigh of relief?    I don't want o spread this cold around.

Tomorrow is going to be another nice day; sunny and dry so I'm going to do the bedding..   That's a reasonably easy job, that me hanging out the  actual washing.   I can then sit in The Hutte watching it dry, do the odd Soduko and cat-nap.

Anytime  I've been in the kitchen making a cuppa etc, Ferry Road has been bust with folk going in both directions, so the village is busy.   I'm assuming that most of the folk I saw were holidaymakers, because they were mostly 'strangers' to me.  

I'm doing tomorrows washing just now so that I can get it out first thing, when I am reasonably 'fit', and before I settle down in The Hutte.

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.
