6th February 2026 (Friday)     10.00 .... We have another windy and wet morning;  Photographs courtesy BBC 2 and is  forecast to be thus all day.    Not a nice morrrrrrning to walk the dog.   In fact it's not a nice morning to go out;  with or without a dog.without a dog.    I am am watching the curling from Italy (Great Britain v Sweden,    Actually the weather is unlikely to bother me much at all today, as I have  the Winter Olympics from Italy, and work to do on the computer.  I switched the kettle 'on' before I did this update so you cab guess what I am going to do next.   Wash the breakfast dishes?    No;  t hey are already in the dish washer.    It's morning coffee time.  13.45    Bob came round in the morning and we had a long chat about the problems of today's World.  I think the main conclusion we reached was that our generation  enjoyed a...

5th February 2026 (Thursday)     09.45 .... It's overcast, with a fresh wind (E) and light rain at the moment.  "Strong winds with heavy rain is the forecast" for KY9, .....with a chance of sunny spells.   Even one short sunny spell would be a boost.   I'm hoping to go to Leven and Methil, but that depends on how the weather develops in the next half hour or so. 18.05   Morning time was the best of today's weather;  the roads were almost dry driving to Leven and Methil ....  in fact I enjoyed driving for a change.   At times the sky looked like breaking up but that never actually happened.   Alice and I had a cuppa, and a quick catch up wi' the Methil news, before going to Sainsbury's to do some shopping.    There's been  a few changes in Sainsbury's;  they've 'squashed' the newspaper bit  to make room for a big coffee machine and a Vape counter.   Vaping must be as addict...

4th February 2026 (Wednesday)     10.00 .... we have yet another day of 'wet and windy' weather;  I probably won't go out today.   It's not just Fife, the whole of the UK has had rain, at dome point, in the first few weeks of 2026.   On a positive note;  there isn't any dust to get in our eyes.   Not outside anyway.   'Plan' for today?... probably computer stuff, numerous cuppas (got to keep up the liquid intake), some 'ooverin' and dustin', and  a few cat-naps.  Need to put the kettle 'on'.... it's morning coffee time.   And, I must give 'Blob' his morning snack.   Busy day ahead;  I feel tired already.   Oh... the weather forecast?.... "light rain and a fresh Easterly breeze". 16.30     It had been windy, wet and gloomy, nearly all day:  there was a short period around midday when the greyness was paler, and the light rain, not quite stopped;  I began ...

3rd February 2026 (Tuesday)    10.30 ..... We have a wet, windy, and cold (3.9C) morning!    I have no doubt the villages, and the East Neuk, will look bonnie, even in this weather;  but I don't intend going out to admire the local scenery.   The first thing I noticed, when I went out to feed 'Blob' at 07.30, was the drop in temperature.   It's 'stay in and stay warm' day for me.    18.40    Today's weather has been of the 'damp' kind;  and tomorrow is going to be, more of the same.    I went out in the car in the middle of the afternoon;  in fact the top photo was taken from the car just before I set off.   The car is pointing North do I went to Kinneuchar, then home by Elie and Earlsferry.   Apart from the work sites, all was quiet. What did I do today?     Not very much really.    I did a wee   bit o' tidying up in the kitchen;  sort of de - man...

2nd February 2026 (Monday)     10.00 .... It;'s a grey, damp morning;  but there is the chance of brighter spells now and again;  maybe even a 'sunny spell'.   It's unlikely that The buggy will be coming out today;  so I'll frolic around wi' the Hoover and do a wee bit o' housework;    Photographs?..... it's not a day for going out wi' the camera, but I might take a turn round the villages in the car later.    Funnily enough, in spite of the drab weather, I feel sort of 'playful'. 15.00    As you can see from the top photo, the weather had been cloudy with occasional short spells of light rain.   We had a 'brighter spell, but no blue sky. I had a run round the villages, and up to Kinneuchar to take a few 'Today' photies;  they gives me something to 'play' with later.   Apart from building  work going on, at various sites. around the villages, and a few folk out with their dog, the villag...

1st February 2026 (Sunday)     09.00 .....  There's a brighter look to the clouds this morning.... and the Fife Weather cams are showing broken cloud:  dare I suggest 'sunny spells?    Yes...lets go for it;  we could have a few 'sunny spells' this morning!    And there's better air this morning;  I might get out for a short walk later.  Right now it's kettle 'on' and organise the cafetiere time;  then settle down to watch  Laura Kuenssberg (BBCLauraK). 14.30   The sun broke through about 10.30, and we've had long sunny spells, with a gentle breeze ever since!    This is the best weather we've had for a while so I thought I'd venture down to Nana's Seat.   The first thing I noticed was that a lot of sand has blown up from the beach into the dunes;  as you can see in the top photograph.   I met Chris (Mennie), coming home from walking the  dogs (Skye and Rhum), and he m...
