3rd July 2026 (Friday)     10.00 .... It's a nice morning, with a sky that has mix of clouds and blue bits (5/8 clouds) clouds coming over on a moderate NW wind (some of the clouds look like healthy shower clouds);    drizzle is mentioned for later in the afternoon evening.  Joggers have been  noted, going down, and up, Ferry Road;  plus a wheen o' cars going down Ferry Road.    It's a morning to be doing things;  in my case 'doing' is limited tae no' very much, but is enjoyable just the same.     20.30    I often wonder why I am tired by evening time;  but when I think about it, I 'potter about',  more or less, all the time, from when I get up, until lunchtime, then have a rest until 16.00 then begin all over again until 18.00. when I have dinner then settle down to watch the TV. 21.45    'JB' and a friend (I'll get the details later) have been walking the last part of the 'English Way P...

2nd July 2026 (Thursday)    09.30 .... We have a 'bright and breezy' morning;   with a mix of clouds  and sunny spells coming over on a moderate WNW breeze.   I'm ready for action;  that means I'll be making my way to the Skeith Centre, after an early morning coffee!   And possibly 'The Store' bottle bank;  it all depends on which direction I take when I leave the Health Centre:  I might turn right, and go to Crail for a run.    20.00     The trip to the Skeith Centre was enjoyable;  but, with  Bob Hanley's Garage  demolished, and the house, more or less, gutted for renovation. passing the site is hard.    'Yesterday's' East Neuk will soon only be happy memories.    On leaving the Skeith Centre I made for The Store bottle bank.   I didn't do any shopping as I'm still working my way through the food that Janice and Michael left.    Crail?....the roa...

1st July 2026 (Wednesday)     10.00 .... There's light cloud, with sunny spells at KY9.  However, and this is good news;  light showers are to be with us most of the day.    That's the flower tubs taken care of.... we have a 'Happy Boy' at Ivy!   I'm going to do the ironing after this update, have morning coffee, then take a trip to the bottle bank at Woodhaven.    I thought there might be a bottle bank at Sainsbury's, but there isn't. 21.00    It has been a strange day for me;  I was busy until midday.   After midday I completely ran out of steam.    I'd done most of the ironing in the morning, and will do two sheets  still to do, after this update. I had organised my day round watching the England v DR Congo World Cup game on BBC1!   After the kick off I decided to pit the kettle 'on' and make myself a late afternoon coffee.   I missed the first goal!  It was 1 - 0 ...

30th June 2026 (Tuesday)     15.00 .... There's a heavy shower over Levenmouth Just now, and I am  hoping it will come this way and do the needful to the flower tubs!   When I think about.... hoping for that is naughty;  the folks on holiday won't be wanting rain!    Spots of rain are hitting the slabs now so I am a 'happy boy';  apologies to the folk on holiday.   Anyway I only need a short, but heavy shower! I've been at Levenmouth this morning.    Methil to have a cuppa with Alice before going shopping.    We went to Sainsbury's because we can get all the bits and pieces under the one roof.   Roof?.... the Sainsbury's leaky roof problem has been fixed at long last.    The barricades and strategically placed buckets that we had become used to seeing, were conspicuous by their absence! !5.30    The rain shower did come our way, but, and I'm sorry about this;  it didn't la...

29th June 2026 (Sunday)      10.00 .... We have clouds scuttling over on a fresh, Westerly, breeze this morning.   At times it looks like we could get a light shower;  but showers aren't expected until later in the afternoon.    The air is healthier, with the pollen count at Medium;  so It's a nice morning for the joggers, as long as they aren't bothered by hay-fever.   Me? ....I'm going to have a 'rest' day. 19.00   It has been another, warm sunny day;  but we did have a cooling Westerly breeze  and clouds that obscured the sun now and again. So it has been bearable; but I can well understand why the folk in the Middle east have a siesta.     This was going to be rest day but I did 'ousework in the morning, and pruned a rose bush that has been interfering with my string of patio lights.   The lights lit up the patio just perfectly for having a late evening coffee, until a week or so ago ...

28th June 2026 (Sunday)     10.30    We have a nice morning;  sunny and warm with a moderate, cooling, Southwesterly breeze.    It was uncomfortably hot last night, so the fan was 'on' near enough all night.    Me? .... I've taken the pills, and ready to do things.    The first thing I'll do is hang out the  washing going through the machine just now.   18.30    Although there's a fair amount of cloud now, we've had another sunny day;  and a hot afternoon, even though we had a nice cooling SW breeze.    It's the kind of weather that the holiday makers are looking for.    And, going by the number of folk going up and down Ferry Road, the holiday season has well and truly started.     The air is cooler this evening, especially when the sun is behind the clouds.  Sleeping should be easier tonight;  that said, since I started using the tower fan I haven't ha...
