8th May 2026 (Friday)    "Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough".       10.15   It's a nice morning, mostly light cloud, but we do get short spells of sunshine now and again.    At  the moment the breeze is light and from the SW, but is forecast to veer to the North later in the afternoon.   It's nit as warm as I'd like it to be.    I have a blood test  at 11.40;  that will be my only outside mission today.   And I must remember to stop at the Chemist on the way home.   'Slight Flap on' now;  need to have morning coffee. 15.00    It's a bonnie, sunny day... and it's warm.    I've had my blood taken, and then went out to Woodhaven Car Park to get  a few photies.    Ir was busy with people doing the Coastal Path;  and others having a daunder round the east links.   Loads of people to chat too. On the way home I remembere...

7th May 2026 (Thursday)      09.15 ....  It';s a nice morning but there's a chilly SW breeze;  and a chance of light showers.    In spite of the threat of showers, I'm going to hang out a washing, and hope that they miss us.  I don't think I'll be be going far today, because of the cold air, but I have to go up to Elie  in the afternoon, to pick up my prescription.  19.00     The weather has been kind for my washing day;  only one, short, light shower and that began just as I was taking the last towel off the line.    It was actually warm  in the sun in the morning; but was colder in the afternoon. I didn't go up to Elie in the afternoon;  I have an appointment for a blood test at the surgery tomorrow morning do I'll  pick up my prescription on the way.   With it being a warmer morning than expected, I was tempted to go out on The Buggy, but decided it would be better to stay out of ...

6th May 2026 (Wednesday)     10.30 .... I've been 'up and runni  ... er blundering around, since 07.00 this morning, so back to my normal getting up time .... almost.   We have a lovely, sunny, and breezy, morning;  the breeze id from the NNE  so it's chilly.   That means I'm, more or less, confined to Ivy (mostly 'The Hutte') because of the wind.  This is the Elie Friendship Lunch day, and Myra offered to pick me up at 12.30, and  take me along to the Kirk Hall:  but the cold snap has upset the auld tubes again, so I'm going to  have to miss out... again.   And this will probably be the last Elie Friendship  Lunch before the Summer 'recess'.   Pity about that.    16.30    We've had a lovely Spring day at KY9, but it is chilly out in the open.   I was sorely tempted to go out on 'The Buggy';  got it out of it's hut, but when I went to put out the ramp, I fo...

5th May 2026 (Tuesday)      11.00 .... when I woke up, I thought the clock was at 07.45;  I looked again .... it was at 08.45!   Oops .... I'd certainly  had a good night's sleep.  Result;   'Immediate Flap on' at Ivy!   I'm now 'operational';  having showered (and that was hot), had my porridge (with sultanas) and caught up with the News.   It's now 'morning coffee time!    After that the 'plan' is to go to Elie and hand in my prescription.    So far I have only been as far as the gate;  and can tell you that the air is cool!  Oh ... and Ferry Road is quiet! 19.15    There has been a chilly Northerly wind today, and not a great deal of sunshine.    Anyway, I went to Elie and handed in my prescription;  and the High Street was busy, so I didn't hang around.   I decided to to home by way of Abercrombie and Colinsburgh.   I changed my mind ...

4th May 2026 (Monday)      10.45 .... I overslept this morning, because I watched  the film ('movie' nowadays) '1917' , and that didn't end until 23.50.   I was in bed by 040030.    It' shows the horrors of WW1 at the beginning, but sort of loses it half way through;  but is an interesting WW1 film.   Anyway we have a bonnie, sunny, and warm, morning here in KY9;  with a moderate drying breeze.   And, the washing is on the line.    I don't really have a 'plan' for today, but I might go out after morning coffee, and after the pills have kicked in.Ferry Road has been quiet, but that might be because I slept in and missed the 'Ferry Road' rush hour(s). 17.15    Elie High Street parking places were full of  parked cars when I went up to the Chemist to hand in my prescription;  even the disabled one!    However I parked in the 'Keep Clear' space next to the Disabled space;  then...

3rd May 2026 (Sunday)     10.00 .... The sky is overcast,  and it has been raining overnight, but its fair now.    Light rain is forecast for the morning, but dry in the afternoon with (let's be positive) sunny spells in the afternoon!   There's a light Easterly breeze so it  will be cool on the beach.    Me? ..... I'm going to potter around Ivy in the morning, then see that the weather is like in the afternoon.   I doubt if I'll take 'The Buggy' out today;  Ferry Road has been busy;  with cars, joggers and walkers. 12.00    It is chilly out (I've been as far as the gate) so I won't be going anywhere this afternoon.    However, we  get a respite from the East wind  tomorrow, as the wind is veering to the West, but only for one day!     I forgot to mention the snooker!    Last night Mark Allen had to pot the black to win through to the Final, 17 frames to 15,...
