After 42 days without rain, "hope you're enjoying the sunshine!!" as a greeting is starting to feel a bit deranged.

- Clear skies for sunrise and beach walks.

- Went to the end of the Fife Climate Festival.
- VEGFEST!
- Swam on a still grey Monday morning and a strangely warm Saturday lunchtime.
- Had my first novelry coaching call.
- Finished Children of Time but also bought my own copy. Started Station Eleven.
- Meetings! Dysart Community Council; Greener Kircaldy training, HR WG, Board; more VegFest stuff...
- Made apple peanut butter cake at the Community Kitchen, and helped out with a food workshop about reducing waste by using leftovers. Also lots of good mushroom things.
- Finally consolidated all of the G&S stock that has been occupying my living room in the form of a wall of boxes. Took most of the day. Much improved.
- Wrote and plotted.
- Hung out with Max.
- Ate puffballs that R left behind. Did a harvest.
I'm doing admin for the next Fife VegFest (January 19th). It's very exciting to see this list of local vegan companies who have already confirmed their places. We've doubled the venue size and already are nearly full.
We'll be announcing the first batch 'officially' (on mainstream centralised social media) this weekend, so consider this a sneak peak for the fediverse (or the two people who read my website).

I've made plans for next October, which is the furthest I've thought ahead in very many years. And perhaps the first time I've assumed I'll still be in Fife in a year without a second thought..

My nose stopped bleeding, I reduced the amount of painkillers I was taking every day, and started to be able to go out in public without my face being swaddled in tissue. I didn't do much though, because I was still completely knackered and felt like my head was full of cement.
I did manage a little adventure to Pillars with Mum before she left. And on Sunday I finally had lunch at Betty Nicol's. Work in progress to make their vegan burger the best it can be..

Bright skies early in the week, before heading to Newcastle.
Came back to sinus surgery and grey skies. Mum came, and I did much convalescing.

Just a normal week.
More dramatic sunrise skies.
O turned up with Tigger (the cat) and Miley (the dog). Decided to take Miley home and leave Tigger behind. Tigger not impressed. Persuaded O to take Tigger home in case he decided to wee in my flat. Got Miley back. Eventually took O for a walk without any pets.
Lunch in Roots & Seeds with Pen Pals people.

Tara came to visit. We went for walkies and found a handful of chanterelles and and a single baby cep. Lots of russulas and fibrecaps.
Shaggy pholiota, shaggy inkcaps and shaggy parasols in Ravenscraig Park.

Worked late, and was rewarded by finally getting to see the aurora from Scotland! And better than when I was in Finland tbh. Went down to the beach, and as soon as I was clear of lamp posts it was super vivid. Sat out freezing for an hour and a half, watching it ripple around the sky.
The first ever Fife VegFest surpassed all expectations. I did a little writeup here and we got some good press.
Also one person said they heard about it on Mastodon. Own up! Who was it?!

What's that? More glorious sunrises and cuddles with Max? Don't mind if I do.
