10th September 2026 (Thursday)     09.30 .....It's cloudy, with a frisky Westerly breeze just now;  but rain is forecast to drift over after midday.    Not a washing day.   I'll be ready to go to Leven  after I have another cuppa, to do some shopping before the weekend.   15.30    As with most shopping trips there isn't really very much to report;   there did seem to be lot of dithering shoppers in Sainsbury's, but that is probably caused by people wanting the best value for their money.   Everything is much more expensive nowadays!... and that is all over the World... aye... even in the USA!.    Why? .... mostl y caused by the disastrous policies of President Trump.   Hey.... I enjoyed that mini moan.     The shopping didn't take long,  and we were back at the Alice HQ, well ready for lunch;  and sorting out the 'World' at the same time!   After l...

9th September 2026 (Wednesday)     09.15 ..... Maggie and I were married on this date 65 years ago;  today is our Blue Sapphire Wedding Anniversary.    "Happy Anniwersary Maggie".....    I'll have another cuppa to celebrate after this update! We have a lovely morning, a mix of sunny intervals and fluffy clouds;  with a cool Northerly breeze at the moment.    The breeze is going to back to the SW later. 18.30     The main Car Park at Brewesterwells Crematorium was 'Full' when I arrived, so I was directed to the Staff Car park behind the building.    A huge turnout for a popular and much loved lady was what I, and everyone expected.     I hadn't expected to one of the last to actually arrive at the Crematorium:  I was well organised by 11.45, so decided to have a cuppa before leaving Ivy at 12.30.   All I had to do was put my tie on and I was ready to 'go'!    That cupp...

8th September 2026 (Tuesday)     09.15 .... We have a nice morning here in KY9;   but strong winds with heavy rain showers are forecast to come our way by midday.    I'm organised for my trip to Methil, to annoy Alice,  and have my hearing aids services.    I need another cuppa before I set off. 19.45    In can hardly believe the difference new tubes make to the hearing aids;  they are ' good as new again'.    They have been 'rough' for the past couple of weeks.    Anyway that's them until January.    After all the action at Methil Library, Alice and then had a wee bit of retail therapy at B & M's;  I found (and bought) a tin of 'Spam', something I haven't had since Maggie died.   It will be an interesting 'new' taste.   That reminds me;  tomorrow would have been, in fact is,  our 65th Wedding Anniversary.   How time flies.   Back to ...

7th September 2026 (Monday)     10.00 .... It's a nice morning just now, with short sunny spells;  but cool in the fresh SW wind.   Light rain is forecast to reach KY9 in the afternoon.     Me? .... I'm not going to be not be hampered by such trivial things as 'light rain' and frisky winds!    I'll have morning coffee out in The Hutte, regardless of the weather!    Anyway the light rain might miss us.... and it's sunny just now!     'Flap on';  got the kettle to activate! 17.15   I haven't been anywhere today but feel really rested  and ready for action tomorrow:  I'm going to Methil Library to have my hearing aids serviced!    That means I can annoy Alice and mooch a cuppa  when along there.    The light rain mentioned in today's weather forecast didn't bother us too much;  in fact I think we only have one real shower, which I missed because I'd falle...

6th September 2026 (Sunday)     09.45 ....The 'light rain' stopped, and we have a more promising looking sky.   There's a light SSW breeze;  and, ..... the South facing Fife Weather cams, show a clearing sky moving our way.   We should have 'sunny spells' in the afternoon!    I'm going to have a daunder down to the Toon Hall after morning coffee;  and after midday, because that's when the Hall is open as part of the 'Doors Open Weekend'. 17.00     I had a most enjoyable time at the Ferry Toon Hall Doors Open Day.   The first thing I have to say is that the Hall is looking the best it has ever been since it was built (1872).     The hall floor is absolutely amazing;  it looks like a new floor.   The whole building is in safe hands;   Maggie would be happy. I went down about 12.45, and met Elaine and ... oops... I've forgotten the other lassie's name.  That's' bad....

5th September 2026 (Saturday)     08.00 .....   We have a 'bright and breezy' start to Saturday;  oh, there's some light cloud, but not the rain beating kind.    It's a grand morning for doing a bit of the Coastal Path;  or, if you are in a washing mood, it's a brilliant 'drying day'.   Me? ..... I might have a short walk up to the seat at the 17th green sometime today, but this is going to be a 'rest day' after all the exercise I had yesterday.    Hospitals involve a lot of 'hard ground' walking. 11.30    There's a bit cloud about now, and quite chilly when exposed to the fresh Westerly wind.  I haven't been anywhere,  but have a wee washing to hang out so I have done something useful.    I'll think o something else to do after morning coffee. 20.30    Yesterday eventually caught up with me!   I kept falling asleep.... er... cat-napping.     So I never went for ...
