Alberto's Hutte

17th September 2026 (Thursday)    10.15 .... It's a lovely morning;  with a few clouds scuttling across on the brisk NW wind, the forerunners of the showers that are forecast to come our way later.   Michael made a full English breakfast this morning so I won't need much in the way of food until dinner time.    My contribution to breakfast, apart from scoffing it, was doing the washing up.  16.00    I've been busy out in the Hutte;  no... not doing a Soduko;  taking photographs of wee golf clubs for my blog page.   There's always good light in The Hutte, that I can manipulate with the window blinds.  Anyway, they are alright, so I'll upload a photo later:  the kettle is 'on' 20.00      I am relying on a couple of showers  coming our way to water the flower tubs;  when I think about it we've had rain most nights, so the tubs are probably fine.    Actually they look good;...

16th September 2026 (Wednesday)     09.45 .... It's a lovely morning... and ... oops I need to switch on the washing machine... because it's a good drying day!   Apart from switching 'on' the washing machine, what is the plan for today?    Mostly checking paper work, including  'computer stuff'.   The weather forecast is good until later in the afternoon and overnight, when we could have showers.     Must 'go'.... 'Flap on', the kettle switch  needs some attention! 18.00    The sky is clouding over, and the air much chillier;  but I'm not complaining, because it has been sunny and warm up till now.    We've been busy with paperwork ... and computer stuff.     So it has been a satisfying day as far as work goes. 20.30    We haven't been anywhere today because of the 'paper work' that had to be done.    However  paper work had been done.    Michael is...

15th September 2026 (Tuesday)      The 15th September?.... that means 100 days to Christmas Day!   How time flies. Kinneuchar kirk this morning. 12.30   Michael has been busy fitting handrails  above the bath so that I have something to hold when stepping into the bath to have a shower.   Before doing the handrails, Michael had a quick trip up to Kinneuchar Kirk, but the light wasn't that good:  so I have used  one of the photographs we got yesterday.   It's actually turned out quiet legible.    Me?   I am have been doing computer 'stuff' some of the time,    Watching 'Taggart' some of the time;  and generally recovering after a busy day yesterday! 14.30    I've just found out that I forgot to 'publish' The Hutte  update that I did earlier.    Sorry aboot that!   I'm wide awake now!    We have a sunny and hot spell of weather just now;...

Main Street, Kinneuchar. 14th September 2026 (Monday)     10.15 .... We have a sunny and warm morning here in KY9.   And we had a wee bit of excitement;  a Speckled Wood butterfly in the kitchen.   It might have waited until I'd cleaned the windows!   Anyway it has been photographed, and released.   I saw it fluttering around the Hutte yesterday, but it never settled. 12.30    Michael and I have been up to Kinneuchar to take a few photographs from, and in, the kirkyard.    Including the headstone, erected by Jimmy Braid,  golfer, and 5 times winner of The Open, in Memory of his Father and Mother.  20.30      We have had a busy day!   Well, Michael has been busy;  he organised dinner, a casserole, in the Slow Cooker, before we went up to Kinneuchar on our mission for the morning:  and it tantalised us with hunger provoking aromas as soon as we got back to Ivy....

 13th September 2026 (Sunday)     09.00 .... We have a lovely morning here in KY9;  and today's weather forecast is good.....  'light cloud with a light breeze from the SW'.    We're going to do our shopping in Kirkcaldy, because we need to go to Curry's. 18.00    We've had a busy day!   Well, Michael has;  I was the trolley pusher.   By the time we were finished shopping it was one heavy trolley.     But let's start at the beginning!    The roads were busy;  and this was Sunday!  When I think of it; Supermarkets changed our weekend habits!  Instead of going for a walk  in the country, we loup into the car and have a walk, up and down the colourful, and seductive advertising,  aisles of a Shopping Mall. Michael was organised;  he had a shopping list!    When I go shopping I know 'iggzactly' the places I want to be, to  what I want;  with...

12th September 2026 (Saturday)       08.45 .... It's dull and damp at present;  but the Fife Weather Kinghorn  can is showing the sky clearing sky from the SW.   We should have a bright afternoon, with a frisky SW breeze.   I must say it'd rather bleak just now!      Today's plan?    I'll make up a bed for Michael,  and have a run round wi' the Hoover.   I feel 'tired at the thought of that;   another cuppa should get me in more of a working mood.   I feel in a 'playful'  mood this morning.    11.30    Michael has a bad to fall into  now;  and that was the work for today.   Making up a double bed is  not as easy at it was  a year ago.    However it's done.   And... yes a cuppa is badly needed!    I'd wash the bedding that came off but I'm not too sure about the weather.;  anyway, this is ...
