2nd October 2026 (Friday)     09.00 ....   We have a bonnie morning in KY9, sunny intervals with a moderate breeze (SW):  however rain is forecast to move in late in the afternoon, and evening.   I'll go for a short walk after morning coffee;  after I find out what's happening with the car.   I'm feeling frolicsome, which is a bummer, because I can't actually frolic nowadays!     Anyway I'm happy, now that I can get out with the 'hurdy gurdy':  and I'll be even happier when I get the lightweight one! 13.30    The car is through it's MOT, and Myra kindly took me along to Mercury to get the car:  so all is good on Ferry Toad again!    Back at Ivy I had another morning coffee then went up to the golf course to get a few action shots of any golfers that were around.    The course was busy;  then I remembered that the girls play on a Friday.   Anyway I got a dew photo...

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....

30th September 2026 (Wednesday)     07.00 .... we have an overcast sky, with light rain at the moment;  but sunny spells are forecast for KY9 by morning coffee time.   It's a nice morning to take the car for it's MOT.    Right now I'm hungry;  ready for breakfast.... and morning coffee. 12.00     The car is in the garage for it's MOT.    Myra picked me up as planned and I was back home  by 09.30.    I've been looking forward to catching up with the 'ousework, so not having the car isn't going bother me too much.    The sunny spells have been slow to arrive, but I see the sky brightening now so we should have a brighter and dry afternoon.    At the moment we have light rain!    I think I'll have an early 'lite bite' lunch;  and, hopefully, after lunch,  the sun will have broken through so that I can go for a short walk.   Then more housework. 21.00...

29th September 2026 (Tuesday)     09.00 ....  It's a nice morning, but there's a change of wind direction with a cool breeze from the SE.    A nice morning for doing the Coastal Path.    I'm going Methil and Leven;  via Elie, to pick up a prescription.    A new inhaler to replace the 'Blue' one. 19.30     This has been a busy day.    I went to Methil, via Elie (Chemist), then  Colinsburgh to fuel up the car, and on  to Methil to annoy Alice, before going to Sainsbury's.   We had a successful shopping mission!    I hope the voters in the USA come to their sensed at the mid term elections;  the World can't take much more of this President of the United States!    That moan was brought on by the price of fuel;  it cost me £42 this morning, and I only use the car now and again.    No runs to Crail or anything like that now!  The World is holding ...

28th September 2026 (Monday)     We have a lovely, 'bright and breezy' morning here in KY9;  almost 'wall to wall' blue sky actually.    I'll have a short walk, after an early morning coffee, then go up to Elie to pick up a prescription.   I meant to so that on Saturday but got diverted! 11.45    I haven't been for my walk yet;  but the Buggy has been brought out of it's nest, and the battery put on charge.   That will take about 4 hours so I don't think I'll go out on it, 'The Buggy', today.   Hauling it out of it's nest is heavy work;  that will be today's 'work'! I'll go for my short walk after a late morning coffee.   The air is chillier than I expected;  but that will be because of the cloud. My short walk ended up at Nana's Seat;  but, my word sitting on Nana's Seat is not very comfortable, owning to the sand building up.    Mind you, it would be fine for having a catnap!...

27th September 2026  (Sunday)       10.45 .... The sky is heavily overcast;  and, when I was out at  the bin, the first spits and spots of rain mentioned in today's weather forecast arrived.   I think it's to be with us 'on and off' for most of the day.   It's not going to bother me, as I have 'inside work' planned for today.     I didn't go out for my walk:  'Laura'  (Kuenssberg), questioning Prime Minister Andy Burnham on the BBC News Channel, was really interesting.   'Andy' had a lot of good ideas for the  country, but the thorny problems;  the rising cost of Welfare (he'd do well to check to find out if the woman from East Sussex, filmed holidaying in Mexico while on benefits, could be the tip of a very large iceberg),  and illegal immigration, will have to be solved by the next General Election.    It will be interesting to see what his plan for the country is, in his...

26th September 2026 (Saturday)     09.30 .... We have a lovely Autumnal morning here at KY9; a perfect morning for being 'out and about'.    Me? .... I slept in, so haven't been for the early morning short walk I planned on having:  anyway this is a 'rest day' after the last few 'working' days.    Should I have an early morning coffee? .... yes I think I should!    And come up with an 'action plan' for the day.    16.30    Although breezy, it has been a lovely sunny day, and warm sheltered from the breeze.    As you can see from today's photographs I was slightly more adventurous with my short walk;  I eventually reached the Thistle Clubhouse, via Ferry Corner, to Rotten Row at The Old Diary.   The weather forecast isn't great for Sunday, so I took a wheen o' photies:  tomorrow's photies, if I can't get out because of the weather, have been taken today! I noticed a number of Red Admiral ...
