Sunny and warm ....

26th May 2026 (Tuesday)     11.00 .... It's an absolutely stunning morning;  and I have been up to Chapel Green (in the car)  to enjoy some sun, before it becomes too hot.   There's a nice breeze (SSE) so it will be a nice day for the beach. and golf course.    A few years ago I'd have gone out  early, on the bike, to go for the paper;  sometimes via St Andrews!   Those days are past.... but I have the photographs!    That reminds me I took a load o' photies up at Chapel Green so today's photographs were taken.... today! 15.30     I was amazed at how I felt this morning;  I can't say I was "bright eyed and bushy tailed'"... but I wasn't far from it, up at Chapel Green.   I even walked round the green, stopping  to have a rest at 'The Boss's seat.    When I left the seat I'd decided to do some 'ooverin' and dustin'.    That hadn't been on my mind when I got 'u...

25th May 2026 (Monday)     10.20 .... It was hot last night;  I woke up at 03.00 and couldn't get Balchrystie junction. back to sleep.     What did I do? ..... had  a drink of water, and did a hard Soduko!   That pleased me.  I eventually fell asleep and woke up  at 07.20 to a lovely sunny morning.    At the moment we have some cloud drifting over from the SW that hides the sun now and again;  but it  looks like being another hot day.... however there's a moderate SW breeze to keep us cool.    I haven't been out, in fact I'll be staying cool inside Ivy most of the time;  but will have morning coffee in 'The Hutte' shortly. 19.00     My word it has been hot today;  and tomorrow is going to be more of the same;  perhaps even a degree or so warmer.    The UK record for the month of May has been broken, both day and night, in the Southeast (London); day 34.8C, an...

24th May 2026 (Sunday)     10.00 .... As per weather forecast, we have a lovely, sunny and Evening rime clouds/ warm  morning.    There is  a sort of layer  of thin cloud, so the sun isn't hot;   as it will be if the cloud burns off.  The joggers have been out, and lots of folk wandering down to the beach;  a nice holiday morning!   Oh.... nearly forgot;  there's a light SW breeze to keep us cool. 19.00    It has been an absolute cracker of a Spring day, and loads of people have been raking advantage  of, what has been more like a day in the middle of summer actually!    I  even had a seat in the sun, but ended up going into 'The Hutte', and doing research .... and Soduko's.    That reminds me I set a Soduko up and have it to finish;  that will be the mission after this update.    I eventually had to abandon The Hutte because, even with the door wide open, an...

23rd May 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .... we have a lovely, sunny and warm (15C) KY9 this  morning;    and there's a cool, light breeze, off the SW .... a pleasantly warm start to the holiday weekend.   A bit different from the the SE corner of England, where there could be some really hot spots over the next few days.  imagine that the local beaches will be busy;  aye, even the Elie and Earlsferry beaches!    That said, when  cloud obscures the sun,  it's actually cool;   I'm off to find a scarf and windcheater.    Only joking;  but I am going to put the kettle 'on'.   20.00    It had been a lovely Spring Day, and loads o' folk have been going up and down Ferry Road .... to and from the beach  I assume.   The bulk of the cloud cleared away after lunch and it has been sunny and warm ever since.    There is a light Westerly breeze, so it isn't too hot...

22nd May 2026 (Friday)     I had an early appointment (09.00) at the Skeith Centre;  so I have  been a busy boy this bonnie morning.   And, as always happens as always happens booster jabs, the second day after the jab brings on a headache and an 'under the weather feeling'.   Anyway this will be a rest day, spent in The Hutte doing Soduko's. It's a lovely morning, a fair bit of cloud about, with a lot of sunny spells;   and  there's hardly any wind so it's warm.    It's never going to be as warm as down south, but it's going to be a nice, sunny and  warm weekend. 19.00     It has been a lovely Spring day, some clouds but most of the day we had  a long sunny interval.   As I said earlier this would be a l az ... rest day;  and it  has been.   Most of the time in the Hutte doing Soduko's and researching books.    The after effects of the booster jab are ...

Nice, damp morning ....

21st May 2026 (Thursday)     09.00 ....  It's a lovely damp morning.   Lovely? .... yes, because the  pollen count  will be low.   Actually that's a bit of a bummer because I took an anti-histamine tablet that I didn't need to take!     Anyway I had a brilliant night of totally unbroken sleep last night;  that's one thing about the booster jab;  always get a few good sleeps!      I'l have another cuppa before going into 'action'. 15.30    The weather has been mixed, with some heavy rain in the morning, and sunny intervals in the afternoon.    Me?.... I decided to go to 'The Store'  to do a shopping for the long weekend.    Monday is the holiday, but the weekend will be busy... and stressful.   When I left to go to Anstruther the rain was light, but I drove into heavy rain at St Minnins... and had that all the way to 'The Store.   However I was...

20th May 2026 (Wednesday)      09.30 .... It's a nice, quiet morning here at KY9, a nice morning for being 'out and about'.    And joggers have been out enjoying the early morning peace, pattering sown, and up, Ferry Road.    Me? .... I'm ready to got for my booster jab;   I'm wondering if I should go to The Store first, and do some shopping..   This is a holiday weekend. 16.00    That's the COVID seen off for another six months;  and this was the fastest I have ever been 'done'..   I son't think I was in the building 5 minutes.    And that's going at the speed I move at!  I met Dave (Leitch) and Anna (from Elie) on the way out.   I gave Dave a run home, Anna was going to The Store.   I'd found out that this is another  Monday holiday weekend, so not quite as stressful as the Friday and Monday Holiday weekends.   The only hold up, was  the temporary traf...
