Alberto's Hutte

14th October 2026 (Wednesday)     09.30 ....  It's a nice, fresh morning;  but cloud is moving in from the West and rain is mentioned in the weather forecast.   The washing we left out last night is drying, and should be dry long before the rain arrives.    John had come in, in after his morning walk with the camera;  hopefully with a batch of photographs for me to play with!    Me? .... I fed 'Blob'.   My next mission is to download the photies that 'JB' got this morning:  he has been out to the lighthouse. 14.30    The sun has broken through, so 'JB' is off to Chapel Green with the camera;  I'm going up to The Hutte to do a Soduko.   John got some bonnie photographs at sunrise time;  all the way from the beach out to the Lady's Tower and the lighthouse.    The light was excellent, and ever changing;  it always is, but  more noticeable at sunrise time. John...

13th October 2026 (Tuesday)     10.45 .... Rain, we had overnight, has cleared away to leave us with a bright and breezy morning;  and the chance of squally showers in the afternoon.    I began my morning with a migraine, which is a bit of a bummer; a migraine in the morning usually spoils the whole day.  However, I've taken the pills, and now ready to do things.... but I think this will mostly be a rest day for me.   'JB' is thinking of taking the camera out to the lighthouse for a change of scenery. 17.45    The weather has been.... er .... mixed id probably the best description!    Bright and breezy until the early afternoon;  then a squally shower came over and soaked everything... including the washing I'd hung out in the morning.    John decided to cancel going out with the camera after lunch because of the threatening clouds towards the NW.    He decided to go to 'The Store'  (Anstruthe...

12th October 2026 (Monday)     11.15 .... The sky is overcast, and a SE breeze,  and light rain  mentioned in the forecast.    It looks like the rain isn't far away!    John went out with the camera at sunrise time, to get today's photographs.    Me? .... I slept in;  I didn't even hear John going out.    The remainder of the day is going to be a 'rest day'.   We're watching 'The Man who would be King' on BBC i Player (it's on 'Hold' just now);  that's the kind of day we're going to have.   Must 'go' slight Flap On';  need to put the kettle 'on'.  17.00    Apart from a light shower in the middle of the day, the weather has has been dry, but dull.    Not the bonniest kind of day for going out with the camera;  but that didn't stop us.    The Top photograph was one of the sunrise time photies that 'JB' got this morning.   He also got some b...

11th October 2026 (Sunday)      10.00 ....  We have sunny intervals with only a light SW breeze so a peaceful kind of morning in KY9;  and, with hardly any wind chill it's not as cold as it was yesterday.  I'm hoping for a crystal clear blue sky, but although there's a lot of blue it's not quite the blue I'm looking for!    Regarding World politics;  I've come to the conclusion  that everybody is out of step ... oops, I mean 'lockstep'... bar oor Donald! 17.15    'JB' and I wet ti Ainster as planned, and went down to the harbour to see what was going on down there.   It was really disappointing,  it was nose to rail with cars parked all along Shore Street.... in fact everywhere.   Tables, on the pavement outside the Waterfront, were all occupied.   The East Neuk is just like Cornwall ;  a beautiful place, overcrowded with cars and their occupants.   A busy place right enough, b...

10th October 2026 (Saturday)     09.15 .... 'Flap on', 'kettle on';    'JB' is on the X61 from Edinburgh arriving in Elie about 10.30!    I'm near enough organised, having done some ooverin', but no dustin' , before I went to bed last night.     I'll loup intae the car, and be up at Elie just after 10.00' , with the camera.   Ye Gods;   I wondered what the noise was;  it was a low flying helicopter!    Off to have the cuppa , the kettle will have boiled by now!    We have have a lovely morning, though cold out in the open.  I haven't been out, but the folk I've seen going up, and down Ferry Road, are all wearing warm jackets! 15.45   I was all organised to go for 'JB', sitting having a relaxing cuppa when I heard someone at the front door!    It was John!   The London bus had arrived in Edinburgh nearly an hour early, so he caught  an earlier bus for E...

9th October 2026 (Friday)     09.00 .... After a lot of overnight rain, we have a bright and breezy morning, with clouds scuttling over on the frisky, F4 - 5, wind   There's a lot of blue sky, with long sunny spells, but it's cold out in the open.   As a point of interest, the blue of the sky isn't the crystal clear blue we had yesterday.   The crystal clear blue sky doesn't happen very often. Plan for today?.... get myself organised for 'JB' arriving tomorrow.   I thought my legs and hips would be stiffer than they are;  the hot shower helped!    I'm going to have an early morning coffee before 'work'. 16.30    I've been a busy boy today;  and that's good news for 'JB'!.    He has a bed to flop into!.... all JB has to do is put the cover on the downie.   Actually I'm impressed with how I've done today, because I had a migraine in the middle of the day.    It must be the ...
