Nice morning ....

1st October 2026 (Thursday)     09.25 .... It's a morning for doing a bit of the Coastal Path;  or, in
my case going for a short walk with the 'hurdy gurdy'.    When I get the new , lightweight, 'hurdy gurdy' (hereafter Rollator) I shall try longer walks.  Anyway, we have a gorgeous morning, and I have things to do.  Starting with an early morning coffee!

19.30    This has been a beautiful Autumn day;  it felt and looked like a summer's day!   I had a walk to the beach, and plonked myself down on one of the seats  and enjoyed a relaxing few minutes chatting to Neil.   I then wandered along to John's and Jenny's seat and had another relaxing few minutes taking photographs, and enjoying our scenery.   I then walked up Cross Wynd to the High Street, took a few more photies, then ambled home;  and put the kettle 'on'.

Iain phoned to day that he has hurt his back, so can't come down this weekend.    He hurt his back a couple of years ago, and occasionally does it in again!   I certainly wouldn't want him to drive a long way, that would only aggravate it.  All this means is a change of plan'.    I won't get the lightweight Rollator this weekend;  but 'JB' arrives. from 'Sunny Sussex' next weekend, and is staying for a week, so we'll get it sometime that week.
I'm assuming that I'll have the car back for this weekend. 

Ir was great being down at the beach again;   not actually on the beach, but enjoying looking at it on such a bonnie day.   Actually the beach wasn't as  busy as I thought it would be on such a day;  having said that there were a drew dog walkers out, with quite a few  people on the beach at the Breakwater.  The mid term school holidays haven't started yet;   that's when it gets really busy, especially if this kind of weather stays with us.

22.45    I haven't made a 'plan' for tomorrow;   I can't, until I find out what's happening with the car. 
I'll phone the garage sometime in the morning.    However, the change of plan gives me more time to get ready for 'JB' coming next weekend.   The 'plan' has been adjusted;  the only thing bothering me now is getting the car back after it's MOT.    I should be a 'happy boy' sometime tomorrow.

It's almost a miracle just how lucky the people on the Air Dubai plane were:  the Captain was able to unlock the cockpit door, in spite of having been stabbed;  this allowed other brave people into the cockpit to overpower the assailant and, thankfully, bring the plane to a safe landing.                          Now I'm wondering:  What makes someone so full of hatred that they are prepared to sacrifice a plane load of innocent people, and their own life .... for what?   There's certainly too much hatred and evil, around the World nowadays.... especially in the Middle East.   It's going to take some clever, and brave, politicians, to come up with a solution to the problems that plague the Middle East.

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...
