Bright and breezy .....

25th October 2026 (Sunday).... 09.30 ..... 'Storm Boelo' gave us a wild (and wet) night;  however the rain
has moved away, and we now  have a 'windy (F8 - 9) and sunny intervals' morning.   Needless to say (but I'm going to 'say' it anyway) there is wind chill, so it's cold out in the open.    

With the wind direction being Westerly there is a lot of sand on the move.   High tide is at 14.06, so a lot of the sand will end up on Fountain Road, South Street and the Breakwater area.   The wind should begin to moderate in the afternoon.;  though it will still be a frisky wind... and well capable of shifting more sand when the tide goes out.

11.30    I have the feeling that the wind has started to moderate;  there are slightly bigger gaps between the gusts;  and said gusts less fierce-some.  That said it is still 'stormy' out in the open.    The temperature is 11C on the patio.

The clocks have been changed!   I remember a few years ago, when I was getting up and going out on the bike early, I spent three days on 'Ivy Cottage Time'!    Time didn't man much in those days;  if it was daylight I went out and did things;  if it was dark I worked on ('played') with the photographs I'd taken during the day!

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...

12th June 2026 (Friday)     09.30 ..... It's a lovely morning... and a good drying day!     Michael and Janice will be getting ready to go to Uckfield Station.   Me? .... I had the best night's unbroken sleep in years last night:  I put the light out at 22.45 and woke up at 06.45!     And I had a long hot shower so I'm feeling rested, and  'playful'  this morning.    That said I have the car to 'worry' about;  however the garage will take care of that, and I should get it back in plenty of time to go for Janice and Michael.  Unfortunately I couldn't do the shopping I wanted to do!    That will have to be done tomorrow.     10.00    Apart from putting the downie inside it's cover, Michael and Janice have a bed to fall into tonight!   I'm going to celebrate that by having morning coffee! 11.30     The car is back at the gate.    I...
