8th December 2025 (Monday)     08.45 .... Although raining just now, the Fife Weather Cams are showing a clearing sky ;  do the rain should stop soon to give us 'sunny spells'.    I'm disappointed with the rain, because when I went to bed last night the rain had stopped.   Obviously that was just a temporary 'blip'.    Anyway it's raining just now, but not as heavy as it was yesterday evening.    I'll go up to the paper shop once the sun gets going. 12.30     We have lovely sunny day now... and there's a drying breeze that will mop up the puddles after last night's rain. I've been to the 'paper shop', bought stamps, and remembered the paper.    I then went to the car to wait for the Post Office van coming.    The 'plan' was to take a few photies while:  it was when taking the first one that I discovered that the camera card was still attached to the laptop.    I had loads o' ti...

7th December 2025 (Sunday)    10.15....  I've been watching 'The Weatherman Walking in Wales, and that was followed by 'Countryfile';  both interest programmes.    Now? .... it's time to  catch up with our 'today'! We have a dull and damp start to Sunday, with not much happening .... even the birds seem to be 'waiting' for something to happen.    I'll put some more crumbs out for 'Blob' and friends after this update.   At the moment the weather is more or less the same as it was yesterday at this time, and it's not very promising looking.   "Heavy rain with a moderate breeze" is forecast for KY9, so I probably won't be going far;  on foot anyway.    12.30    I eventually went for a run in the car.   I meant to stop at the paper shop but there was a lot of traffic manoeuvring at the time , so I did the Balbuthie/ Kinneuchar run instead;  and Colinsburgh Petrol station.    T...

6th December 2025 (Saturday)     09.00 .... At the moment we have light rain coming in from the North Sea, but, after the breeze goes round to the West, as it is forecast to do, the weather should improve.  The Fife Weather Kinghorn cam ,already shows this improvement!    Actually, the weather is to be a bit mixed for the next few days, with a lot of damp and showery spells.   Funnily enough the air feels warmer,;   and I'm feeling 'playful''.    However, I don't think I'll be going down to the beach just now.    16.00   You can see from the photo what kind of weather we had when I went out this morning.   I had a quick run up to Chapel Green before going to Elie to hand in my prescription, and for the paper.   It was raining at that time, with hardly any breeze:  this meant that traffic fumes were lingering in the air... as I discovered when I left the car to go to the shops. ...

5th December 2025 (Friday)    09.45 ..... We have a nice quiet start to Friday, but 'light rain with a moderate breeze' is the weather forecast for today.   That's a bit of a bummer, because I was thinking of going for a turn round the villages on the bike:  and I have a small washing going through the machine.   It can hang on a claes horse in front of a radiator so there's no problem with the washing.   We had some red in the sunrise sky and that's not a good sign.    Bonnie, but not good,    At the moment there's only a light breeze, but the wind is to freshen to  frisky later in the afternoon. 19.00    Although the weather has been mixed I've had an enjoyable day.    I ended up having a run up to Chapel Green in the car, rather than the bike, because of the cool air... and the treat of light showers.   This is of course a funny time of year;  everything is, sort of 'waiting' for ...

4th December 2025 (Thursday)      11.00 .... It's a lovely morning;   light cloud and sunny spells, with a cool breeze;  and  there is the chance of a shower.   I'm organised for 'The Shot Inn'.   I actually toyed with taking 'The Buggy' down but the chance of showers changed that plan.   We have had a few spots of rain but not a proper shower so far:   it's back to the original 'plan'.... Kirsty picking me up.   Anne has brought round a goodie for me to have with my morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee so I shall have that after this update.   Let's enjoy what looks like being a lovely, albeit cool, day! 19.00    'The Team' enjoyed lunch, and a blether, at 'The Ship Inn' .   We had Fish n' Chips (I'm glad I had the small portion), followed by ice cream.   I didn't have the camera with me so didn't take any photographs.    It was an interesting enough day for the ...

3rd December 2025 (Wednesday)     09.00 ..... We can look forward to "sunny intervals with a light southerly breeze', for the whole of today;  no mention of showers.   This means it could be a good drying day for the downie cover going through the machine just now.  However, in spite of the wind direction, there's a chilly air;  at the moment it's 5.4C.    A nice day ahead, but with a bit of wind chill. 14.30    The 'drying day I hoped for has been a bit of a bummer;  a whole  an hour and half of a  heavy rain 'shower' put paid to that.   Unfortunately I had gone to 'The Store' so wasn't in a position to bring in  the downie: there's still a bit of a drying breeze so I'll bring it in last thing in the afternoon.   'The Store' mission was successful, so I'm a 'happy boy'.    That said, the busy day I had yesterday caught up with me, and I've spent most of the afternoon sleeping....
