6th October 2026 (Tuesday)      09.30 .... It's cloudy but dry just now.   We had a few  spots o' rain when I was out at the gate;  at that time I thought it was Wednesday!   Then Marcia came up the road with her golf clubs;  that's when I discovered it was Tuesday!  Oh...I started my day by sleeping in!    Anyway I'm up and ready for action now.  After another cuppa I'll go for a walk;  might go to the seat at the 17th green.    I must go to Elie to hand in my prescription sometime, and make an appointment to have my haircut!    Actually I might do that first, and do the walk when I come back from Elie. 17.15   I went up to Elie as planned; handed in my prescription, and met and chatted to Lesley;  but Lorraine wasn't working today, so I didn't get the hair appointment.    I'll have a run up there tomorrow to see if she is working;  she might be on holiday....

  5th October 2026 (Monday)      09.30 .... It's a breezy, grey morning in KY9;   at least it's dry, and nice enough for going 'out and about'.    I'll have short walk after morning coffee;  the wind is actually quite frisky (F3) so I might stay around the house's;  it will be too blustery out in the open.   Work? ..... that will be making up 'JB's bed! 17.00   We have the the Gas people  working  in Williamsburgh;  actually there's only one hole, so not very interesting.   The workmen were there so I couldn't have a browse round the hole. I went as far as the Old Dairy on my walk this morning, the into Rotten Row and up to the Golf Course.   There was a fair old breeze blowing ,so I didn't hang around up there;  and I couldn't see any golfers on the course, do nae chance of any action shots.   About this time we had a few spits ans spots of rain.  Irene was wor...

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....
