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."
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.

Aphids have finished off all of the lemon pepper plants and one birds eye in my living room, and given up and mostly moved out, it seems. The second birds eye and scotch bonnet are clinging to life. Fungus gnat population has escalated dramatically.
Astonishingly, the sea restored the hole it had earlier gouged in the beach, covering the new steps we started to build with fresh rocks, and excavating my morning seat that had been buried. So, back to how it was before.
Started a new story for NaNoWriMo. Stayed pretty on top of the word count.
Worked with a new crew to get a funding application in for a local commumnity support project.
Dave and Huan briefly came back.
Made apple cake and apple and fig strudel at the Community Kitchen, and even stayed to eat some. Chanterelle pizza at home.
Pressed the button on the smoke machine at K's for hallowe'en.
Just about finished my hallway cupboard pantry and tool storage updates, including underfloor insulation in just that wee bit.
Supposedly back down to 3 days a week now, but I'm still feeling entirely overwhelmed by co-op stuff. All of the W3C drama in the background is passing me by. I just can't.
Finished Whisperer in Darkness (finally). Started Feersum Enjinns.
Watched a lot of Ted Lasso. Plodding through Foundation (it's alright but doesn't make me want to watch lots. That's probably a good thing.) Started Ashoka. Watched The Little Mermaid (the newest one).
