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.
A packed week, and didn't manage to get any "actual" work done (S&W, governancy stuff, Directors Meeting, admin...). I did go to an IATI Standard Stewardship WG meeting.
Lots of meetings for other things. ENT. Pen Pals. VegFest seems to be getting some attention o.o
Made rhubarb and strawberry crumble, and gf pear brownies in the Community Kitchen.
Walk to Wemyss with Wenna and Max. Both so needy. Some cooperation over stick destruction. Both want to do whatever the other is doing. Bugging each other all evening instead of just relaxing on the sofa. Wenna wants to sit where Max sits. Max only wants cuddles when Lowenna is there.

Bought some bright pink beats headphones from a local person and they're good so far. Bulkier than the sennheisers, so we'll see how they travel.
Made jelly and (n)ice cream at the Community Kitchen, and an emergency birthday cake for a child which was requested right at the end of my shift (it was my pleasure). And earl grey, orange and thyme cupcakes at home.
Got loads of BODS done, again!
Started This Is Us and started and finished the newest season of The Orville.
Enjoyed an afternoon in Kirkcaldy JB and K, and discovered Merchants House has a new vegan menu..
Planted some more things and cleared up the garden.
The daffodils and crocuses are out, though it's still frosty in the morning. Mixed signals regarding the onset of spring..
Encountered my dear frenemy and neighbour Mulder with no barking and growling for the first time ever! The strategy was to wave a bag of treats from the distance as I approached. He took one from me quite happily and climbed up my leg like we've been friends forever. I've been carrying around treats waiting to try this for a while. He has previously hated me with the burning rage of a thousand suns (because, I presume a) I live in close proximity to his territory, and b) because I associate with Max, whom he hates even more), so I'm very happy all it took was one treat to turn things around. Hopefully he can stop barking whenever I'm tiptoeing quietly through the hallway between our two homes, now.
Watched Hamilton. Almost turned it off a couple of times, but was mostly enjoying it by the end. Learnt a lot more about US history than I knew before, and managed to stick with it, by wikipedia-ing things for the duration.
