Ferry Road this morning 21st October 2026 (Wednesday)      10.00 .... We have a wet, and rather bleak looking morning;  not a morning to be out.    The rain might peter out after lunch, to give us few sunny spells in the evening.  The brightest thing I've seen this morning was the glint in Blob's eye when I fed him!   He's a happy boy  is 'Blob'.   I was going to take a photo of him but he's gone all camera shy! My 'plan' for today?    I might go to the Colinsburgh Friendship Lunch;  if the rain has moved away by then.   The sky doesn't look promising at the moment.   The Kinghorn and Lochgelly Fife Weather Cams show a slight brightening to the SW, so we could get lucky. 14.30    For the first time today, the sun is peeping through the clouds, so I'm thinking of taking the 'hurdy gurdy' for a walk.   The rain was at it's heaviest at 12.15 when I was getting ready to go to...

20th October 2026 (Tuesday)    09.30 .... We have a grey sky with light rain, coming in from the North Sea, on a fresh SE breeze this morning:  it's not a "going out to play" morning.    Me? .... If I do go out, it will be in the car.  Right now I have 'Blob' to feed.   After doing that, I'll have an early morning coffee and come up with a 'plan' for today.   14.00   'Owlbert' has been a busy boy!   The early morning coffee must have activated the brain cell, and then some!  I decided to loup intae the car, and go up to Elie and make an appointment with Lorraine to have my hair cut. Appointment made (2.45), I felt slightly adventurous , and fancied going down to the harbour.    I say adventurous because there was a frisky SE wind, and it would be 'really frisky' at the harbour.    On the way down I moored up at 'The Toft' to take a few 'today' photies. Being sheltered from the worst of the wi...

19th October 2026 (Monday)    09.15 ....  the sun is burning back the early morning fog, and we now have broken cloud, with blue patches;  and blue patches mean 'sunny spells'.   There's a chilly air, about what it should be at this time of year.   It will be warmer where the sun does break through.     I don't know if the washing will dry, but it's on the line.    Unfortunately, there's a chance of showers inn the afternoon, so I am hoping the sheets are dry enough to take in, and iron by then! 20.30     We had a few sunny spells today, but mostly it has been cloudy and cold.   And damp later in the afternoon, by which time the washing was in and ready to be ironed.  I might do that after this update. The air was too cold for me to go far with the 'hurdy gurdy' ;  in fact I only went as far as the phone box going up Ferry Road, then down to Ferry Corner and home.    However I ...

18th October 2026 (Sunday)     10.30 ....  It's an absolutely gorgeous Autumn morning;  definitely a morning to be out and about.    My plan was to go down to the beach for sunrise, but slept in, but might try to get sunset.   Unfortunately a migraine has cramped my desire to go out to play, but I've taken the pills.;  however, I think this will be a quiet day, with the washing machine! 20.30     This has been one gorgeous, albeit cool,  Autumn day;  we had wall to wall sunshine all day.   Having said that, I could have done with a bit more breeze to dry the downie cover.   But that's all I have to complain  about.  I even thought about getting 'The Buggy' out in the afternoon, but changed my mind when I saw how busy Ferry Road was at times.    So I 'walked' the 'hurdy gurdy' round the patio 10 times instead:  I'll count the number of steps that I take to go round th...

17th October 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .... It's 6C on the thermometer at the moment;  a perfect, fresh autumnal morning to be out and about.   The Coastal path should be busy today.    'JB' is out with the camera;  I've fed 'Blob' and had my won breakfast;  and now ready to go out to play;  i.e. go up to The Hutte, with a cuppa, and have a look at a Soduko. 22.00     'JB'  is on his way home to 'Sunny Sussex' tonight.   H phoned to let me know that he is at the Edinburgh Bus Station now.    We went along to Elie to catch the 18.43 X61, which came in early.   Actually it wasn't early;  the bus that 'JB' got on in Elie, was the bus that was supposed to arrive in Elie at 18.10, but was 30 minutes late:  anyway 'JB' will be on the London Coach by now, ready to leave Edinburgh, on his way home to 'Sunny Sussex'. I've enjoyed 'JB's company:  shopping trips, the runs in th...

16th October 2026 (Friday)       09.30  .... It's a quiet kind of morning at KY9;  'sunny spells with a moderate , Westerly breeze' is the forecast, and that is what we have.     The air is cool, but a nice morning for being out, which is where 'JB' is just now;  over at Kincraig cliffs with the camera. I've hung out a washing;  fed,  and conversed with 'Blob';  and feed myself and have a cuppa after this update.  All is good in the Royal Burgh this morning! 'JB' had a sudden change of plan when he went out this morning;  he decided to go to the Lady's Tower and lighthouse again, then through Elie Estate for a change.   he is thinking of going to do the cliffs early tomorrow morning.    Although John is  going home tomorrow, travelling overnight from Edinburgh to London by coach ,he doesn't leave Elie until 18.40.   Hence the tentative plan to do the cliffs walk, tomorrow morni...
