Alberto's Hutte

23rd May 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .... we have a lovely, sunny and warm (15C) KY9 this  morning;    and there's a cool, light breeze, off the SW .... a pleasantly warm start to the holiday weekend.   A bit different from the the SE corner of England, where there could be some really hot spots over the next few days.  imagine that the local beaches will be busy;  aye, even the Elie and Earlsferry beaches!    That said, when  cloud obscures the sun,  it's actually cool;   I'm off to find a scarf and windcheater.    Only joking;  but I am going to put the kettle 'on'.   20.00    It had been a lovely Spring Day, and loads o' folk have been going up and down Ferry Road .... to and from the beach  I assume.   The bulk of the cloud cleared away after lunch and it has been sunny and warm ever since.    There is a light Westerly breeze, so it isn't too hot...

22nd May 2026 (Friday)     I had an early appointment (09.00) at the Skeith Centre;  so I have  been a busy boy this bonnie morning.   And, as always happens as always happens booster jabs, the second day after the jab brings on a headache and an 'under the weather feeling'.   Anyway this will be a rest day, spent in The Hutte doing Soduko's. It's a lovely morning, a fair bit of cloud about, with a lot of sunny spells;   and  there's hardly any wind so it's warm.    It's never going to be as warm as down south, but it's going to be a nice, sunny and  warm weekend. 19.00     It has been a lovely Spring day, some clouds but most of the day we had  a long sunny interval.   As I said earlier this would be a l az ... rest day;  and it  has been.   Most of the time in the Hutte doing Soduko's and researching books.    The after effects of the booster jab are ...

21st May 2026 (Thursday)     09.00 ....  It's a lovely damp morning.   Lovely? .... yes, because the  pollen count  will be low.   Actually that's a bit of a bummer because I took an anti-histamine tablet that I didn't need to take!     Anyway I had a brilliant night of totally unbroken sleep last night;  that's one thing about the booster jab;  always get a few good sleeps!      I'l have another cuppa before going into 'action'. 15.30    The weather has been mixed, with some heavy rain in the morning, and sunny intervals in the afternoon.    Me?.... I decided to go to 'The Store'  to do a shopping for the long weekend.    Monday is the holiday, but the weekend will be busy... and stressful.   When I left to go to Anstruther the rain was light, but I drove into heavy rain at St Minnins... and had that all the way to 'The Store.   However I was...

20th May 2026 (Wednesday)      09.30 .... It's a nice, quiet morning here at KY9, a nice morning for being 'out and about'.    And joggers have been out enjoying the early morning peace, pattering sown, and up, Ferry Road.    Me? .... I'm ready to got for my booster jab;   I'm wondering if I should go to The Store first, and do some shopping..   This is a holiday weekend. 16.00    That's the COVID seen off for another six months;  and this was the fastest I have ever been 'done'..   I son't think I was in the building 5 minutes.    And that's going at the speed I move at!  I met Dave (Leitch) and Anna (from Elie) on the way out.   I gave Dave a run home, Anna was going to The Store.   I'd found out that this is another  Monday holiday weekend, so not quite as stressful as the Friday and Monday Holiday weekends.   The only hold up, was  the temporary traf...

19th May 2026 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... It's a nice morning with light rain just now;   therefore a low pollen count, and, more importantly the flower tubs have been watered!    I'm a 'happy boy'.   Actually we could have thundery showers in the afternoon, perhaps even thunder, so O won't have to water the tubs for a couple of days.   I'm even happier now than I was a couple of minutes ago!    Off to have a, celebratory, early morning coffee.   The sun is breaking through so I'll have morning coffee in The Hutte. 15.15    I've had a busy day!    What have I been doing?.... Re-applying for my Blue Badge, and by the time I did all the bits ans pieces necessary it takes a while.    At least it does nowadays!  I had to take photographs  for ID, address, .... and the photograph for the badge!   The last took the longest because I had to comb my hair;  something I r...

18th May 2026 (Monday)      09.30 ,,,, At the moment, it's a peaceful kind of morning in KY9;   A layer of cloud has moved  over us in the past hour on a light SE breeze.... and  'light rain showers' are forecast,  which the flower tubs would appreciate!  Actually I'm going to water the tubs after this update;  I meant to do it last night.    Ferry Rod is starting to get busy;  a couple of joggers just pattered their way past. 16.45    I've been lucky;  one of the showers that have been around this afternoon, came our way and watered the tubs;  but not enough so I'll have to do that again later this evening.    It has been a nice day, and reasonably warm in spite of the breeze being from the Southeast.   (Not my favourite wind direction).   I did some research on the computer, but never went out on the bike or buggy.   The wind has freshened in the last hour, and...
