Been off today because I'm working tomorrow, might have mentioned it before but I hate working Saturdays, still it might be the last one this year if things go my way. After work tomorrow we shall be going on a spooky walk around Kinghorn in aid of the RNLI, been going on these walks for a number of years now, it's good fun, lets hope it isn't raining!The month has seen the days getting shorter and shorter, cut the grass for the last time this year a few days ago, and the temperature drop, however there were a few sunny days to be sure.
Earlier this month I attended the busiest funeral I have ever attended, didn't even get near a seat, the tragic nature of Steven's death, and the fact he was very popular, meant it was probably one of the biggest Kirkcaldy crematorium has ever seen, lets hope I don't have to attend that place again in a long while.Things have been a bit strange at work, the new owners want to make changes, meaning at least one of my colleagues had to leave. We will be getting new shift patterns in the new year and was in an interview yesterday for a more elevated position, am happy still to have a job so whether I get the more senoir position dosn't concern me too much.
No running this month I'm afraid, but I did manage a long walk from Linlithgow to Queensferry along the John Muir Way, a trek of 15 miles. I can't even remember being in Linlithgow before, though I must have been, the palace there was the bithplace of Mary Queen of Scots, and is well worth a visit, also Blackness Castle looks lovely on the Firth of Forth. I was lucky with the weather, but was bloody knackered when I arrived at the Ferry Tap in South Queensferry for a well earned burger and pint.Here are a few photos showing a sunny October day on Kinghorn beach, Linlithgow Palace, Blackness Castle, and underneath the new forth bridge that is due to open next year! Oh, was through in Edinburgh yet again this month, we had visitors from Potsdam, yes I visited many of my favourite pubs and discovered the most amazing sour beer in Ushers too..yum yum. Canne wait until the christmas markets now, bring it on!
Oh, and the joys of Gumtree! I put a post about my smaller sofa on and within about 5 minutes someone had contacted me to buy it, should have asked for more! Oh the hassle of getting it out the flat!!
