fife (15 out of 15)

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.

Gale force winds and freezing rain for more than a week now. This is the longest stretch of consistent weather since I moved here. And I am sick. of. it.

I do really appreciate living so close to the beach that it's not a big ordeal to go out for the last 15 minutes of sun of the day and a listen to the sea.

A dear wish of mine is for Grain & Sustain to stock BBL vegan deli 'meats' and to get a peanut grinder so I don't have to go all the way to New Leaf in Edinburgh for peanut butter. Then my new life in Fife will be complete.

My ostensibly local and quite expensive fruit and veg box arrived, along with a loooot of plastic. Disappointing. I can't seem to find a greengrocer anywhere near me in Kirkcaldy. Might be going to Burntisland for veg at this rate..
