Nice morning ....

 13th September 2026 (Sunday)     09.00 .... We have a lovely morning here in KY9;  and today's
weather forecast is good.....  'light cloud with a light breeze from the SW'.    We're going to do our shopping in Kirkcaldy, because we need to go to Curry's.

18.00    We've had a busy day!   Well, Michael has;  I was the trolley pusher.   By the time we were finished shopping it was one heavy trolley.    But let's start at the beginning!    The roads were busy;  and this was Sunday!  When I think of it; Supermarkets changed our weekend habits!  Instead of going for a walk  in the country, we loup into the car and have a walk, up and down the colourful, and seductive advertising,  aisles of a Shopping Mall.

Michael was organised;  he had a shopping list!    When I go shopping I know 'iggzactly' the places I want to be, to  what I want;  with the occasional stop in between to buy something I don'r really need, but suddenly 'want'.    I blundered along while Michael checked his list and did the shopping.   He'd been to Curry's to get a DVD player, and some kind of sound thing for the new TV set up.

We eventually got everything on Michael's list, plus a couple of surprises that fell into the shopping trolley, then went to the checkout.   When Maggie and I did our shopping in Sainsbury's (Kirkcaldy) we always had lunch in the Cafe.   Sadly all the cafe's were done away with when Sainsbury's took over Argos.  So, shopping finished, we found a checkout and emptied the trolley.   The lassie on the till came from Lee on Solent!    The bill came to... er .... more than three months worth of my shopping trips!  That was a big shopping!    We did equal shares:  I used my Nectar Card;   Michael used his Bank card.   We then bumbled our way back to the car.   The journey home was the same as the one to Kirkcaldy except we were travelling Wast instead of West.   Yes .... the roads were busy!

Michael has just arrived back from the 19th, and is going to put on dinner.   I didn't realise that the time
had passed so quickly.    

21.45    We've had food;  and watched some TV, including a programme called the 1% Club.   Some tricky questions... and the clue is in reading the question correctly to start with. 

We've had a busy day; so tomorrow will be quieter;  a sort of 'rest day'.

7th May 2025 (Wednesday)    08.15 .... "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is today's weather forecast for.... KY9, Ellon, Uckfield (Sussex) and London:  it's going to be a bonnie day all over the UK.  The breeze is from the Easterly direction so the East coast will be cooler; but it will be warm sheltered from the breeze.   It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning at Elie and Earlsferry:  the sky is a mix of fluffy clouds and blue bits, and the temperature is 11.6C just now.   3.3C was the minimum overnight.  20.30     I'd been reading about the cyber attack on M & S, Harrods and the Co-op... so, feeling inquisitive, for my morning 'mission' I decided to go to The Store (Ainster) and see how the 'attack' was affecting our local 'Store'.   The first thing I noticed was the car park wasn't as busy as normal and all the Disabled spaces were empty.  Inside the store,  the empty vegetable and fruit...

1st November 2019 (Friday)       07.00 .... Mmmmm ... it’s cauld and wet Mmmmm .... not the perfect weather for the beach. as per weather forecast;   a real dreich morning.      I am feeling considerably brighter than the weather and looking forward to morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse..... then spending the rest of the day mostly working on the computer, and doing Soduko’s.    I might bake Melting Moments..... baking and sampling 'MM's is always a cheering occupation on a dreich day. 09.00    The sky to the West is showing promising changes in greyness;   could we be in for a few bright spells?    “Light rain showers and a gentle breeze” is the forecast for today.... but a bright spell would be very welcome.    I haven’t been anywhere further than the pavement when manoeuvring the bucket into its ‘ready for emptying’ position.   I’ll have another cuppa then ‘loup’ into the car an...

12th June 2026 (Friday)     09.30 ..... It's a lovely morning... and a good drying day!     Michael and Janice will be getting ready to go to Uckfield Station.   Me? .... I had the best night's unbroken sleep in years last night:  I put the light out at 22.45 and woke up at 06.45!     And I had a long hot shower so I'm feeling rested, and  'playful'  this morning.    That said I have the car to 'worry' about;  however the garage will take care of that, and I should get it back in plenty of time to go for Janice and Michael.  Unfortunately I couldn't do the shopping I wanted to do!    That will have to be done tomorrow.     10.00    Apart from putting the downie inside it's cover, Michael and Janice have a bed to fall into tonight!   I'm going to celebrate that by having morning coffee! 11.30     The car is back at the gate.    I...
