Alberto's Hutte

7th September 2026 (Monday)     10.00 .... It's a nice morning just now, with short sunny spells;  but cool in the fresh SW wind.   Light rain is forecast to reach KY9 in the afternoon.     Me? .... I'm not going to be not be hampered by such trivial things as 'light rain' and frisky winds!    I'll have morning coffee out in The Hutte, regardless of the weather!    Anyway the light rain might miss us.... and it's sunny just now!     'Flap on';  got the kettle to activate! 17.15   I haven't been anywhere today but feel really rested  and ready for action tomorrow:  I'm going to Methil Library to have my hearing aids serviced!    That means I can annoy Alice and mooch a cuppa  when along there.    The light rain mentioned in today's weather forecast didn't bother us too much;  in fact I think we only have one real shower, which I missed because I'd falle...

6th September 2026 (Sunday)     09.45 ....The 'light rain' stopped, and we have a more promising looking sky.   There's a light SSW breeze;  and, ..... the South facing Fife Weather cams, show a clearing sky moving our way.   We should have 'sunny spells' in the afternoon!    I'm going to have a daunder down to the Toon Hall after morning coffee;  and after midday, because that's when the Hall is open as part of the 'Doors Open Weekend'. 17.00     I had a most enjoyable time at the Ferry Toon Hall Doors Open Day.   The first thing I have to say is that the Hall is looking the best it has ever been since it was built (1872).     The hall floor is absolutely amazing;  it looks like a new floor.   The whole building is in safe hands;   Maggie would be happy. I went down about 12.45, and met Elaine and ... oops... I've forgotten the other lassie's name.  That's' bad....

5th September 2026 (Saturday)     08.00 .....   We have a 'bright and breezy' start to Saturday;  oh, there's some light cloud, but not the rain beating kind.    It's a grand morning for doing a bit of the Coastal Path;  or, if you are in a washing mood, it's a brilliant 'drying day'.   Me? ..... I might have a short walk up to the seat at the 17th green sometime today, but this is going to be a 'rest day' after all the exercise I had yesterday.    Hospitals involve a lot of 'hard ground' walking. 11.30    There's a bit cloud about now, and quite chilly when exposed to the fresh Westerly wind.  I haven't been anywhere,  but have a wee washing to hang out so I have done something useful.    I'll think o something else to do after morning coffee. 20.30    Yesterday eventually caught up with me!   I kept falling asleep.... er... cat-napping.     So I never went for ...

4th September 2026 (Friday)     06.45 .... After the light rain last night we have a bright and breezy morning.    However it will be bright, and even breezier in the afternoon, with freshening winds forecast.  A nice drying day!     I'm ready for the trip to Kirkcaldy;  my appointment is at 10.40, not 09.40, that I previously thought.    So flap 'off' and the kettle 'on'. 20.30    As I expected this has been a busy day, but the Inner Ear MRI scan has been done.   A noisy experience, but with earplugs and headphones the noise was bearable.    I can't imagine what it must be like without the plugs and earphones.     I arrived at Alice's with time to have a cuppa before  taking the car down to Leven Bus Station, where we louped on to a No 73 bus that goes to Kirkcaldy Bus Station via The Victoria Hospital.   A lot of different bus routes do this.   It saves th...

3rd September 2026 (Thursday)    09.40 ..... It's lovely morning;  sunny, with a frisky, WSW breeze;  which will dry the washing I have on the line.     Rain is forecast to arrive late in the afternoon, and be with us overnight.   The washing will be in and ironed long before that.     I'm going to have another cuppa then have a short walk up to the phone box.   Perhaps even further if the new inhaler is doing it's job. 17.15    I enjoyed my short walk;  in fact I thought about going out later in the afternoon, but it turned cloudy and cooler, and the rain isn't far away.   Anyway, Alice and I will  have a couple of walks tomorrow: from the  Bus Stop at the Victoria Hospital, to the Hospital Entrance door, and the reverse, after the MRI Inner Ear scan.   This has to be done as I have Tinnitus in the right ear.   The fact that I've had it  (Tinnitus) for 60 ...

2nd September 2026 (Wednesday)    09.45 .... We have a 'dreich' kind of morning;  an overcast sky with light rain drifting in, on an Easterly breeze, off the North Sea.   Not a morning for doing the Coastal Walk!    I was thinking positive earlier, and  actually have small washing going through the machine;  it won't be going out on the line today.    That said we could have some brighter weather (perhaps even a sunny spell) now and again, most likely in the afternoon. 20.00    Apart from a brighter, and drier, spell in the middle of the day the weather has been disappointing, being mostly overcast with light rain.   I didn't go out today; not even to the Friendship Lunch, and I was looking forward to that.  I must say that the new inhaler does improve my breathing, there's no doubt about that.   It will take a couple of weeks before I really know how good it is;  which fits in perfectly wit...
