Light rain .....

20th October 2026 (Tuesday)    09.30 .... We have a grey sky with light rain, coming in from the
North Sea, on a fresh SE breeze this morning:  it's not a "going out to play" morning.    Me? .... If I do go out, it will be in the car.  Right now I have 'Blob' to feed.   After doing that, I'll have an early morning coffee and come up with a 'plan' for today.  

14.00   'Owlbert' has been a busy boy!   The early morning coffee must have activated the brain cell, and then some!  I decided to loup intae the car, and go up to Elie and make an appointment with Lorraine to have my hair cut. Appointment made (2.45), I felt slightly adventurous , and fancied going down to the harbour.    I say adventurous because there was a frisky SE wind, and it would be 'really frisky' at the harbour.    On the way down I moored up at 'The Toft' to take a few 'today' photies.

Being sheltered from the worst of the wind I has a short walk along The Terrace, before venturing sown to the harbour.    There was a fair number of people wandering around, presumably holidaymakers.  They were well wrapped up!    Even the dog was wearing a 'jacket'.   The air didn't feel as cold as I thought it was going to be at The Toft; and, although windier at the harbour, it wasn't as cold as I expected it to be at the harbour.   Having said that;  I didn't take any chances.... I  took the few photographs I wanted.from inside the car.


It's the 'Friendship Lunch' at Colinsburgh tomorrow.   The only reason I happen to know that is because Charmain  (Robbie's daughter) reminded me when I went in to have my hair cut.   I might go to Colinsburgh;  it depends on how I'm feeling.... and what the weather is.    Heavy rain is forecast for morning time.

The rain never really came to much today, and the 'sunny intervals' were few;  in fact I don't remember any. 
Actually the sky is brighter now than it has been all day;  and it's also colder.

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...
