This morning my brother found me buzzing around at 7am in the kitchen, nodded knowingly, and said "ah it's your superfan day. That's why you're up early getting all your jars out."

And indeed! The grand opening of the Kirkcaldy branch of Grain and Sustain has arrived!

I got there just after 9 to find it delightfully buzzing, jammed my backpack full of jars of supplies, and had lovely chats with a few local business owners who I bumped into who I also see regularly. Plus the sun was out. I am feeling the love for Fife!

The chocolate cake is my interpretation of Sachertorte because I knew we had some apricot jam lying around in the community kitchen from last week.

And then I get to tell everyone about the time I single-handedly made sachertorte for about 170 people in the mountains outside Vienna a few years ago.

I am beyond excited that my fave independent zero waste shop Grain & Sustain is coming to Kirkcaldy, and bringing a vegan deli with them!

And I'm thrilled that my local coffee bean supplier Ecobean is getting recognition for having a completely closed-loop zero waste thing going on as well.

I have absolute dream neighbours. Last time I left my washing in the communal washing machine all day, I came back to find it neatly folded on the side, after someone had taken it out of the washing machine, put it in the dryer, then taken it out of the dyer too.

First vandalism of my garden yesterday. Someone tried to yank off some rhubarb. They failed, but partly detached the stem and wrecked the leaf.

Week in review: 10th - 16th May

One bag of mushrooms yielded one clump. The other bag tried and failed :(
Too much bok choy sprouted, trying to spread it around. Repotted a ton of basil that grew from seeds. Salvaged the stray tomato that sprouted at the base of the avocado plant and potted it up.
Most of the replacement cucumbers I bought from B&Q look like they aren't going to survive, for unknown reasons.
Apple cake, rhubarb crumble, and other things.
Made many omelettes in the Lang Spoon kitchen. Been about 6 years since I cracked an egg..
Started making decisions about bathrooms, changing my mind, acquired some stuff.
TAG not-face-to-face from early mornings to late evenings, with Co-op in between. Somehow.
Recovered with a fantastic weekend of gallivanting. Went around the coast to Elie and Pittenweem, bought a wetsuit, swam in the sea pool, visited interesting little shops; rescued an excellent bath from the dump and rehomed it in K's garden; then 'helped' with clearing ivy of her shed roof.
The kayak finally came! I can't lift it myself.
Finally watched the 1984 Dune movie (over two nights). I quite enjoyed it, though I can see how to people who haven't read the books it is probably completely incoherent.
I'm still slogging through Mentats of Dune.

I went to vote at 0730 yesterday. I wasn't expecting anyone else to be there, but got stuck behind a line of nuns.
