Alberto's Hutte

17th July 2025 (Thursday)     06.45.... We have a lovely, sunny and peaceful start to the day;  there's only a light Easterly breeze, and I'm feeling 'almost bright eyed and bushy tailed'.   I'm going to get the bike out and go for a turn to the harbour.   There's a slight chill in the early morning air, but the sun is starting to make it's presence felt;  it will hot by midday.    11.45   All was quiet at the harbour.  Apart from  couple of dog walkers,  a lady out for her morning exercise,  and  Tom out at his creels.... it was a very  quiet morning.  The breeze was fresher than expected so the bay wasn't as smooth as I'd hoped.   However I am happy with the photies I have to 'play' with tonight. 12.00    That's me in for the afternoon;  it's 22.6C already, therefore too hot for this 'mature' person to be outside.   It's a beautiful day for being on h...

16th July 2025 (Wednesday)    09.00 .... Although it's damp with light rain showers just now, they are to move away to leave us with "Sunny intervals and a moderate Easterly breeze".    Having overslept this morning, I am runni ...er ... creeping behind schedule.   Actually I have caught a 'summer cold', so I'll lie low for the next couple of days.   I have 'ousework to do so that will  keep me occupied .... between catnaps.   (Maybe that should be the other way round;  catnaps between spells of 'ousework).   In other words 'pottering' for the next couple of days. 19.45    We have a gorgeous, sunny and warm, evening;  in fact it has been a nice,  mostly sunny day, but it was cloudier then than it is now.   However, mist is forecast to move in overnight. I've had a reasonably busy day, pottering around doing 'ousework;  and I'm feeling much better than I was in the morning, having ha...

15th July 2025 (Tuesday)    08.00 .... After a bright ,sunny start to the morning, clouds are starting to lumber in from the ESE.   "Light rain with a moderate breeze" is forecast for the middle part of the day,  clearing to sunny spells in the late afternoon and evening.   There's a nice fresh feeling  to the air;  cooler  than it has been lately, but not cold.   A pleasant start to the day.    11.45 .... I went to Elie to take a few photos of the Toft, and the harbour at low tide to give me something to 'play' with if rain does come our way.   We had a few spits and spots at 11.00 but that was just the edge of a heavy shower cloud, and didn't come to anything.    Anyway... where was I?    Ah ... taking photographs from the Toft and harbour! I couldn't believe it when I saw the two boys on their bikes.   In asked the two ladies accompanying them, if it was OK to take a photo,...

14th July 2025 (Monday)    08.20   It's a lovely morning;  there's a fresh, breeze from the SE, with a lot of clouds around.    'Light rain showers and a fresh SE breeze' is the forecast ... and there's a "good chance" of showers in the afternoon.    It could be a good 'drying morning', if the showers miss us.   Going by the forecast the afternoon looks like being showery.... so I'll hang out the washing that's in the machine ASAP.  The breeze is warm;  a good drying wind. 10.00    The washing is out but I expect it might get another rinse shortly;  rain isn't far away by the look of the Western sky.   There is the chance of thundery showers;  I'll keep an eye on the weather.   It looks like it's raining at Lochgelly;  going by the weather cam.   There is a thundery feel to the air so I have the feeling the much needed rain, might be of the 'heavy' variety.  ...

13th July 2025 (Sunday)     08.30 .... Oops.... I've finally remembered to update The Hutte!   Sorry about that.  I was slightly excited by the reflection photographs this morning! 11.30   The papers weren't in when I was up at the 'paper shop';  so I  went to the harbour.   It was absolutely gorgeous (as Elie and Earlsferry always is).... so I enjoyed myself with the camera.    So much so that I forgot to go back to the 'paper shop';  I came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.  Since then I have done some gardening (pruning), sorted out the morning's photographs;  and finally got round to updating The Hutte.   It's warm .... 21.2C (shade) already so it will be hot in the afternoon.   Far too hot for me being outside.   I might 'potter' out occasionally, and do more pruning.    14.45  I thought I'd be brave and do some more pruning;  buy my word......

12th July 2025 (Saturday)     07.50 .... It's beautiful, sunny and warm (15C already) morrrrrrrrrrrning.... with a light Easterly breeze.   The breeze will freshen to a nice cooling air in the afternoon.   The villages could be overwhelmed with sun worshipper making for the beach  and water sports.   It's definitely a sun cream day for those that are out in the sun.   And .... it's also a brilliant 'drying day'. 19.00   It has been a (mostly) warm and sunny day;  I say 'mostly' because the haze mentioned in the weather forecast did turn out to be haar..... low cloud off the sea, and a chilly air and damp air (not good beach weather) driven in on a moderate Easterly wind.   Tomorrow's weather is going tom be sunny with a moderate (ENE) wind so it could be cool on the beach. My trip to Leven, and Methil to see Alice was an outstanding success but ... and  I know I go on about the number of vehicles ...
