20th October 2025 (Monday)     09.30 .... We have thick early morning fog, but it should evaporate to leave us with a sunny day.   The sky is already brightening .... and there's blue sky showing on the Lochgelly Weather cam.   At the moment we're only about a 1000 feet from a sunny morning.  17.30   The fog lifted by midday and we had a lovely, sunny and warm afternoon. While having morning coffee I made my mind up to go to 'The Store' in Ainster.   It was still foggy at the time but it was lifting.    However I'd made a rookie error;  I was driving East instead of West to Leven, where the sky was clearing;  and  driving into the fog the further East I went.   That said, the fog didn't bother me;  the 9 minute wait, at a set of four way temporary traffic lights in Pittenweem did, and as the biggest hindrance.   I took a few photographs form the car;  and decided to take t...

19th October 2025 (Sunday)     10.15 ....  As per weather forecast, it's raining., with a moderate breeze.   The Fife Weather cams are all showing a heavy sky, with a few brighter bits towards the SW.  However the rain is forecast to be heavier in the afternoon, so 'sunny spells are unlikely.   This band of rain is to clear away by tomorrow morning, to give us 'sunny intervals with a moderate breeze'.   I think this could be a 'browse the Alberto Archive' day.;  in between doing some 'ousework. 20.30    I say honestly say that this has been  one of the laziest day's I've had for years.   Luckily I found a Davis Attenborough nature programme to watch.... and Hamza early in the evening.   Oh ... I had a migraine (weather) so I don't feel that guilty about having a lazy day.   In between watching the tele I used made an  Eveline's Pudding;  the photo at the top of the page....

18th October 2025 (Saturday)     10.15 .... The sky is overcast with a light Southeasterly breeze just now,;  but 'sunny intervals' are forecast by midday.    I was disappointed to find the 'sunny intervals'  AWOL at sunrise time.   I went back to bed for another hour.   The sky is beginning to brighten now.    It's  about time I had 'morning coffee'. 16.30    The sun managed to break through around 14.30, and we now have a warm, and  sunny, afternoon.   By the amount of traffic on Ferry Road it would appear to be a 'change over weekend.   I think the Glasgow folk are going home, and the Edinburgh ones arriving.   It's all 'go' on Ferry Road just now.  I  set off for a walk to the beach but had only reached Ferry Corner when the camera battery went flat.   I went back to Ivy and had lunch.   I'd get 'The Buggy' out, but there's a car parked wh...

17th October 2025 (Friday)      11.00 .... It's one on those misty and melancholy kind of mornings that we get at this time of year .... a washing that I did is hanging on a clothes horse;  there isn't much point in hanging it outside, because there isn't any wind.    I  cancelled going to Leven Golf Club with the girls because I've got this cough.   I was hoping for 'sunny spells' ,but the weather forecast mentions light cloud .... with no mention of 'sunny spells'.    It's morning coffee time. 19.30    Although the sky brightened up a bit, the sun never broke through the clouds so we've had a grey, but pleasant enough day.   And 'The Ferry' seems busy  with holidaymakers.    I didn't go out today because I ended up browsing the Alberto Archive.    Am I glad that I photographed every local walk I did over the years:  because, although I can't actually do the now physically, I can s...

16th October 2025 (Thursday)     09.15 .... Although the sky is overcast just now, the sun is trying  hard to break through.    "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is the weather forecast for KY9.    We should have a bonnie afternoon.     I'm going to have another cuppa before my appointment with Laurie (Nurse). 12.30     It's a lovely sunny day day now, But there is a chilly air.  After my appointment with Laurie I went out to Woodhaven to see what was happening out there.   The first thing I noticed was the house nearest the Woodhaven Car Park is being demolished.    I must look up the planning site to see what style of house is going to be built in it's place. I nearly forgot;  Laurie told me that Gill, the  Asthma Nurse, has retired;  and has been replaced by 'Jennifer'.    Anyway where was I? .... Woodhaven Car Park.   I took a few photographs , ...

15th October 2025 (Wednesday)     09.30 .... Good News this morning.... the barometer reading  has moved for the firs time in days;  OK it only fell by a millimetre, but it's the first sign of a change in the weather.   That reminds me I'd better water the tubs!    KY9 is forecast to have 'sunny intervals with a light breeze' today.;  the sky is already looking more promising than it has been for nearly a week. 19.45    As you can see from the Balcarres Crag photo we ended up with a bonnie, sunny day; and I took advantage of that.    I got 'The Buggie' out and set her up to be charged;  The setting up doesn't take long but the actual charging can take up to 5 hours.   Today it took three.    Anyway she is fully charged.    I didn't go out on her today because Ferry Road was busy. (the workmen are still in Flat No 3).   The other job I had to do was water the tubs.  ...
