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...

19th May 2026 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... It's a nice morning with light rain just now;   therefore a low pollen count, and, more importantly the flower tubs have been watered!    I'm a 'happy boy'.   Actually we could have thundery showers in the afternoon, perhaps even thunder, so O won't have to water the tubs for a couple of days.   I'm even happier now than I was a couple of minutes ago!    Off to have a, celebratory, early morning coffee.   The sun is breaking through so I'll have morning coffee in The Hutte. 15.15    I've had a busy day!    What have I been doing?.... Re-applying for my Blue Badge, and by the time I did all the bits ans pieces necessary it takes a while.    At least it does nowadays!  I had to take photographs  for ID, address, .... and the photograph for the badge!   The last took the longest because I had to comb my hair;  something I r...

18th May 2026 (Monday)      09.30 ,,,, At the moment, it's a peaceful kind of morning in KY9;   A layer of cloud has moved  over us in the past hour on a light SE breeze.... and  'light rain showers' are forecast,  which the flower tubs would appreciate!  Actually I'm going to water the tubs after this update;  I meant to do it last night.    Ferry Rod is starting to get busy;  a couple of joggers just pattered their way past. 16.45    I've been lucky;  one of the showers that have been around this afternoon, came our way and watered the tubs;  but not enough so I'll have to do that again later this evening.    It has been a nice day, and reasonably warm in spite of the breeze being from the Southeast.   (Not my favourite wind direction).   I did some research on the computer, but never went out on the bike or buggy.   The wind has freshened in the last hour, and...

17th May 2026 (Sunday)     08.45 .... We have a nice morning, but a mix of light showers and Courtesy 'Countryfile' BBC 2. sunny spells is the weather forecast.   I have shower towels going through the machine at the moment;  I counting on the light showers being really light or, hopefully, non existent!     I haven't been outside yet but it looks like it will be warm when out of the wind and the clouds are somewhere else!     20.30     Most of today we've had lovely, warm, sunshine;  but it has clouded over in the last couple of hours.    We had some gig shower clouds, but the showers missed us, and, when I got back fro Leven the washing was bone dry.   After an early morning coffee, I decided to go to Methil to visit Alice, then do some shopping when along there.   That is what we did after a cuppa at Alice HQ.    Alice reminded me that the cleaning up of the River L...

16th May 2026 (Saturday)     09.15 .....  It's a nice morning, with light cloud and long sunny intervals just now.    It is warm in the sun, but cool out in the open.   This is going to be another rest day;  but, and this is good weather news;  a change of wind direction is coming, bringing warmer air our way.  I'm hoping it's a long spell of warmer weather;  not a 'hot snap'.   Off to put the kettle 'on' and have morning coffee in The Hutte.  15.45    It has been a lovely, sunny and war, day.   That said, the breeze has freshened do there's a bit of wind chill to contend with;  especially on the beach.   I was thinking of getting The Buggy out Ferry Road has been busy, and the chill breeze put me off that idea. I did go out in the car in the morning;  only to the parking place i use at the junction of the Kinneuchar Station road and the Elie road.   I noticed a l...

15th May 2026 (Friday)      09.39 .... We have a mix of shower clouds and sunny spells this morning;  and there's a brisk Northwesterly wind so it will be cold on the golf course and beach!    It's 9.6C on the patio thermometer.    I'm going to 'work' in The Hutte, and potter around Ivy today because it's too cold to go 'out and about'.   Ferry Road has been busy this morning;  having said that a car went past just now, and it was silent.   It must have been on battery power.   Off to put the kettle 'on'! 15.00    I fancied a wander to Nana's Seat, but only went as far as Ferry Corner, because it was too cold.   I thought the wind had moderated;  it had, but obviously not by very much.   I might o for a run in the car in the evening.    At the moment we have a batch of heavy looking clouds drifting over, but I don'tb think we'll get rain!    In the meantime, ...
