24th January 2026 (Saturday)     10.00 .... We have another wet and windy morning, in fact I'd say it is the dreariest looking morning we've had.....  so far;  probably because we've had a few dreary mornings in succession.    However we can look forward to the chance of sunny spells in the afternoon!    ph....  'Blob' had his breakfast at at 07.10;  it was dark, so I had to switch the outside light 'on'.   Happy 'Blob' .... and a happy 'me'.        It wouldn't be so bad if we only had the bad weather to worry about;  we also have the political mess that the World is in.    Me? ....  I'm looking forward to the brighter, sunny spells!   The political mess? .....  the politicians have bumpy road to travel sorting that out..   In the meantime I'll force myself to put the kettle 'on' and have morning coffee!     14.30    The sunny spells...

23rd January 2026 (Friday)    09.30 .... The weather is not quite as wild as it was yesterday;  but  still wet and windy!    It's another 'stay in and stay warm' day for me.    I might go for a run in the car in the afternoon  (when there's a chance of brighter spells), but it will only be 'roond the villages'. 13.45    I've been round the villages in the car, and even got out of the car to take some photies.   It was windy at the time, with light rain, but it wasn't too bad at The Toft.   The harbour was .... wild so I only took a few photographs from inside the car.   Chapel Green?.... it was wild;  and I's to leave the car to get the three photographs I took up there.   I was glad to get back to Ivy and a hot cuppa. I've been browsing the Alberto Archive this morning;  and I'm going to do some more browsing after I have an 'after lunch coffee. 19.15   The weather has be...

22nd January 2026 (Thursday)     09.00 .... We have a wild, wet and windy morning;  and it to be ' wet and windy' all day.   It's a day for this boy staying 'in and warm'.    I have housework to catch up with, and work to do on the computer.     I might have a run up to Chapel Green in the car at some point, but only if the weather moderates a bit.   And I don't think that is going to happen today. 13.15    It has been windy and wet most of the morning!..... but the rain stopped about an hour ago and I had a short walk up to the golf course.    I didn't expect to see anyone on the course but;  then I remembered that it never rains on the golf course.   Golfers were on the second green. As you can see by the flag, although it wasn't raining, (if it had been I wouldn't have been up there) it was windy! I'm going back to watch the News;  there's a lot going on today.   But I'...

21st January 2026 (Wednesday) 10.30 .... the sky is overcast and, though we had a couple of blinks of the sun not long ago, light rain with fresh winds off the SE is forecast for KY9.   At the moment it's grey but isn't raining.    We could be lucky and have more sunny spells!  We have the Colinsburgh Friendship Lunch today;  it's a perfect day for going out and meeting people.     I'll have morning coffee after this update then change:  I'm still in my loungers.   Myra is picking me up at 12.30. 11.45   This is a big day for Greenland, Denmark, Europe and NATO.   President Trump sees Greenland as another piece of Real Estate on which he'd create a golf course.    Not that he would do that on Green land;  but the principle is the same.   It will be interesting to see what happens at Davos. 17.00     The Colinsburgh Friendship lunch was really enjoyable;  excellen...

20th January 2026 (Tuesday)    09.45 .... There's been some overnight rain, but that had moved Misty morning. away,  the sky breaking up to give us sunny spells.   I have a washing going through;  it's a reasonable 'drying day' but light rain is forecast to move in later in the afternoon.    I have to go to the Skeith Centre sometime today, so might drop in to The Store for a wee browse.  19.38     I went to Anstruther (Skeith Centre);  and 'The Store' int eh morning.   That took longer than intended because I had a good browse in 'The Store'.     It was busy;  with elderly people out in force.   Progress round the aisles was reasonably steady:  I had to wait a couple o times while someone made up their mind which was the 'best buy', but I wasn't in a hurry.   I never see anyone in'The Store' that I know;  apart from the checkout lassies. I came home by way of Kel...

19th January 2026 (Monday)     09.00 ..... It's a lovely morning, sunny with a touch of frost:  there's rime on the car windscreen.    The rime will shift quickly once the sun gets going.   There's only a light breeze so hardy any windchill;  this could be a bonnie albeit cool day.    There is a chance of mist later in the afternoon.    Myra is going to visit George (Leven Beach Care Home) and I was thinking of going with her;  but I have a cough so won't go this time.   Can't take a cough into a Care Home.   13.15    I had a short walk up to the golf course, on what is now a lovely sunny day.   It's 5.7C in the shade so pleasantly warm in the sunshine.    Bob came round for a chat a wee while ago;  and is now off to organise Ann's lunch.    That reminds me;   I'm hungry.    15.30    The Snooker Final was disappointing;...
