4th October 2026 (Sunday)     08.15 .... It's a nice morning, but the cloud is heavier than it was yesterday, with a light breeze.    By the look of the cloud just now, there's a low chance of a light shower;  but I'm feeling positive, and thinking sunny spells!    I'm hungry!  16.45    The 'sunny spells' I wanted never arrived, so it has been a dull, but at least dry, day.  Not the bonniest of days, but my trip to Methil and Leven went perfectly!   Cuppa with Alice, then shopping in Sainsbury's.   As always the roads were busy;  but the shop was reasonably quiet. Back at Alice';s we had  lovely Chicken in a wine sauce,lunch, with trimmings done in the crock pot.   I don'r have to worry about needing a big dinner!     Lorraine, came round with some tablet, which she knows I like;  so I am a happy boy, in spite of the grey weather. After a cup of coffee with Alice, I ...

3rd October 2026 (Saturday)     10.30 .... There's a layer of cloud just now, so there's a chilly feel to the air this morning..   The sun should burn off the cloud, to give us a nice, sunny intervals, and warmer, Autumn day.    I'm going to have a a quiet day, doing little jobs around Ivy.    I'll have a walk up to the golf course,  once the  sun breaks through:  after morning coffee.  Blob was twittering happily from the top of the Lilac tree.    He's looking for a snack. 11.30    There's an Autumnal feel to the air this morning;  12.5 on the garden thermometer;  and, even the Hutte isn't warm enough to sit in.    The clouds keep obscuring the sun, so we haven't had a decent spell of sunshine, to warm up the air.   I'm going to have a late morning coffee;  and I might go for walk after that.... if it's warmer. 19.30    I ended up going for a short walk, t...

2nd October 2026 (Friday)     09.00 ....   We have a bonnie morning in KY9, sunny intervals with a moderate breeze (SW):  however rain is forecast to move in late in the afternoon, and evening.   I'll go for a short walk after morning coffee;  after I find out what's happening with the car.   I'm feeling frolicsome, which is a bummer, because I can't actually frolic nowadays!     Anyway I'm happy, now that I can get out with the 'hurdy gurdy':  and I'll be even happier when I get the lightweight one! 13.30    The car is through it's MOT, and Myra kindly took me along to Mercury to get the car:  so all is good on Ferry Toad again!    Back at Ivy I had another morning coffee then went up to the golf course to get a few action shots of any golfers that were around.    The course was busy;  then I remembered that the girls play on a Friday.   Anyway I got a dew photo...

1st October 2026 (Thursday)     09.25 .... It's a morning for doing a bit of the Coastal Path;  or, in my case going for a short walk with the 'hurdy gurdy'.    When I get the new , lightweight, 'hurdy gurdy' (hereafter Rollator) I shall try longer walks.  Anyway, we have a gorgeous morning, and I have things to do.  Starting with an early morning coffee! 19.30    This has been a beautiful Autumn day;  it felt and looked like a summer's day!   I had a walk to the beach, and plonked myself down on one of the seats  and enjoyed a relaxing few minutes chatting to Neil.   I then wandered along to John's and Jenny's seat and had another relaxing few minutes taking photographs, and enjoying our scenery.   I then walked up Cross Wynd to the High Street, took a few more photies, then ambled home;  and put the kettle 'on'. Iain phoned to day that he has hurt his back, so can't come down this weekend....

30th September 2026 (Wednesday)     07.00 .... we have an overcast sky, with light rain at the moment;  but sunny spells are forecast for KY9 by morning coffee time.   It's a nice morning to take the car for it's MOT.    Right now I'm hungry;  ready for breakfast.... and morning coffee. 12.00     The car is in the garage for it's MOT.    Myra picked me up as planned and I was back home  by 09.30.    I've been looking forward to catching up with the 'ousework, so not having the car isn't going bother me too much.    The sunny spells have been slow to arrive, but I see the sky brightening now so we should have a brighter and dry afternoon.    At the moment we have light rain!    I think I'll have an early 'lite bite' lunch;  and, hopefully, after lunch,  the sun will have broken through so that I can go for a short walk.   Then more housework. 21.00...

29th September 2026 (Tuesday)     09.00 ....  It's a nice morning, but there's a change of wind direction with a cool breeze from the SE.    A nice morning for doing the Coastal Path.    I'm going Methil and Leven;  via Elie, to pick up a prescription.    A new inhaler to replace the 'Blue' one. 19.30     This has been a busy day.    I went to Methil, via Elie (Chemist), then  Colinsburgh to fuel up the car, and on  to Methil to annoy Alice, before going to Sainsbury's.   We had a successful shopping mission!    I hope the voters in the USA come to their sensed at the mid term elections;  the World can't take much more of this President of the United States!    That moan was brought on by the price of fuel;  it cost me £42 this morning, and I only use the car now and again.    No runs to Crail or anything like that now!  The World is holding ...
