Three sunny long walks, double blood giver

Was working today, off tomorrow, which is most unusual for a Sunday, in fact not back at the vet's place now until 2 weeks today, so that's nice. There are certain things at work that are pissing me off, especially shifts, so we'll see how long I stay. It's been 5 years and I have been guilty of staying in stressy jobs too long in the past.

What a month May has been, mostly great weather, no rain for about 3 weeks until recently, Costa del Fife! Started month getting blood taken at doctor's surgery, the month ended with me doing the same again yesterday, apparently the white blood cells too high or something, they have even arranged a telephone appointment with a doctor for next week, should I be worried? Don't know, we'll see. 

Made my steps target fairly easily given that the weather was great, the most notable walks were to Leven along coast, hadn't done that stretch for a few years, took just under 4 hours and the trip back from there better now that you can get a train rather than the slow bus back that stops everywhere. So, some positive things do happen and the train line to Leven is one!

Another walk was to Aberdour, not the coastal route, the other route going along the Standing Stanes road, then onto Aberdour from above, this is the second time I have done this route, did the dame a month or two ago, very good. Better this time as the Forrester's pub is back open after being closed for months. They make an effort with their ales and I was back there a couple of days back also, thought his time by train.

The other notable walk was my monthly standard walk (and wee run on this occasion) to edge of Auchtertool, then on to edge of Kirkcaldy and back along the coast, over 20K steps so helped with target. Think I have done this loop every month this year, so will hopefully keep this going. 

Am a bit tired right now, just had fish and chips, will go to bed in an hour, was an exhausting shift today. A few photos taken this month, the one with wee boats at Dysart harbour on way to Leven.
