Bright and breezy ....

3rd September 2026 (Thursday)    09.40 ..... It's lovely morning;  sunny, with a frisky, WSW
breeze;  which will dry the washing I have on the line.     Rain is forecast to arrive late in the afternoon, and be with us overnight.   The washing will be in and ironed long before that.    

I'm going to have another cuppa then have a short walk up to the phone box.   Perhaps even further if the new inhaler is doing it's job.

17.15    I enjoyed my short walk;  in fact I thought about going out later in the afternoon, but it turned cloudy and cooler, and the rain isn't far away.   Anyway, Alice and I will  have a couple of walks tomorrow: from the  Bus Stop at the Victoria Hospital, to the Hospital Entrance door, and the reverse, after the MRI Inner Ear scan.   This has to be done as I have Tinnitus in the right ear.   The fact that I've had it  (Tinnitus) for 60 odd years, it seems a bit late to bother doing it now;  but it's the 'rools'.   Alice and I will have morning coffee, in the Cafe, on the way out.   My appointment is at 09.40, so an early start tomorrow morning.

As I said it would be,  the washing is 'in', and ironed;  and the rain has yet to arrive.    Actually the air feels chilly now, probably because it's cloudy;   and I have been sound asleep.

Today's short walk is the first I've had in a few weeks;  and I was slightly apprehensive about it.    However I feel much better for it;  but tired.    On Saturday I might try for Nana's Seat, if the weather is amenable.   I think it should be;  it is supposed to be more settled and warmer on Sunday.               I see that the patio slabs are wet, so the rain has arrived.   A wet evening, and night,  ahead.   It's time to think aboot food!

19.15    The rain is 'off' at the moment (I was out at the bin) but the still is still overcast;  I need more rain for the tubs.

I'm organised for tomorrow;  well near enough;   just need to have a quick shower in the morning and
I'll be ready to 'go'.   The MRI shouldn't take long, it's only my head that's being done this time;  actually I'm looking forward to having morning coffee, with Alice, and a goodie, in the Cafe.

I've enjoyed today;  I finished an ultra hard Soduko.... and had a walk, albeit a short one.    Yes.... I'm a happy boy tonight.

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.
