A few bright days
sunrise (16 out of 170)
- Started and finished This is how we lose the Time War.
- Went to London for the TAG face-to-face which was very positive and productive. Spent more time in The City than I think I have before. Ate some excessively expensive food. Took the sleeper home on Burns night, and they kindly provided a bagpiper.
- Got home to find the tomatoes and pumpkins have sprouted and the sea is where I left it.
- Made a surprisingly successful cake.
- Found out another beloved local-but-not-local-enough-to-go-regularly cafe, with excellent vegan options, the Old Barn in Auchtermuchty, has closed :(
- Survived a week with only a 'work' laptop.
- Worked every day, which was a bit much. Lots of meetings. Too much co-op, too little time.
- Did a Mental Health First Aiders course, thanks to Greener Kirkcaldy, which was really good.
- Made raspberry coconut tart at the Community Kitchen, and chocolate hazelnut cupcakes at home.
- Mostly braw but freezing days, interspersed with flurries of snow.
- Swam in the sea twice.
- Went to Burntisland for an afternoon.
- Found out that the vegan cafe isn't reopening after the winter break, which is very sad. Started contemplating upending my life to open a cafe again. Advice from the people who were running it, and other small business owners in the vicinity, is "don't."
- Started watching Ugly Betty.
- Finished We Won't Be Here Tomorrow and started Smoke and Mirrors.
- Spent time with friends.
- Swam in the sea twice; braw days amidst the storms.
- Had a quiet week at work, restructuring the BODS schema and tidying up the tests.
- Saw the Kirkcaldy Panto (Ya Wee Beauty and the Beast).
- Ate lots of Tiffin delivery.
- Spontaneous trip to theatre in Edinburgh.
- 'Foraging' in the polytunnel..
- Turned my fermented lemon peppers and yellow tomatoes into hot sauce.
- A great many walkies and sunrises.
- Mired in recruitment again. Hired two more Python developers, started onboarding prep. Sifting for Data Analysts (application deadline 24th Dec...).
- Actually did some BODS scheme refactoring work though.
- Made ginger cake and green tomato ketchup at home, and plum and raspberry cobbler at the Community Kitchen.
- Finished The Bear. Watched uh all of Fleabag.
- Swam in the sea.
- Finished Look to Windward. Started Legends and Lattes.
- Fungus gnats continue to drive me to despair, but the spider population has increased considerably which is nice. The second birds eye plant died. All hope for a chilli filled summer hangs on the scotch bonnet.

As soon as H left the skies cleared and it was gorgeous again, if a bit frosty.

No-particular-occasion vegan feast with K, A and D on the 25th.
The days alternated between extremely braw and miserable AF this week. There was snow but it didn't settle. A lot of wind and generally dampness. But clear days and still seas were enough to see me through.
I went to see the Kirkcaldy panto with K. It was a lot. (I didn't realise I haven't been to a panto before..)

Lucky to have some more gorgeous clear days for beach walkies. And also to have a Max to snuggle on the sofa on the rainy days. Such a cuddly Max.

More walkies. Max has a great time with giant sticks. I'm glad he can entertain himself while I sit and contemplate the waves.
Xmas eve Tiffin delivery.

And a visit to the market for the first time in a while.

Max came to stay with me for a while, and immediately took over my life (and sofas).
