Alberto's Hutte

5th April 2026 (Sunday)     10.30 ...... The weather is of the bright and breezy  kind this morning;  Photo courtesy BBC News Channel and  chilly in the frisky SW wind.    Most of the folk wandering sown Ferry Road are wearing winter type jackets, and  woollie hats!  There's certainly loads of fresh air around this morning;  especially on the beach.    Me? ...... I'll have morning coffee in 'The Hutte'!    It's a research and take notes day for Alberto! There is some good News this Easter morning;  the Americans's have rescued their downed pilot in Iran.   He is in safe hands and will soon be 'home'. Unfortunately there is also bad News ..... the war blunders on!   19.00 .... Sitting in the Hutte was nice and warm;  but outside it was windy and cold.   Having said that I saw plenty of folk heading for the beach but they were well wrapped up.   I'd call this a rest...

4th April 2026 (Saturday)     09.40 .... We have a bright and breezy' morning;  a good morning for the joggers (been there done that.... and i wish I could do it now) that were out early.    I shall have morning coffee in 'The Hutte, because although the sky is cloudier now that it was earlier, we still have sunny spells, but light rain showers are mentioned in the weather forecast for KY9:  with gales overnight into Saturday morning. 14.45    I've been doing some research;  and playing with the pictures I got, off the Photo Frame, last night.    The weather has deteriorated ans we not have an overcast sky, with occasional spells of light rain;  and the wind has freshened a bit.    I'm going to make a fresh cuppa, then settle down to watch the News.     And have my afternoon catnap!   I blame the cat that meandered in yesterday;  it reminded me that I enjoy a catnap! 19.30  ...

3rd April 2026 (Friday)      10.00 ..... we had a sunny start to the morning, but is had clouded over,  and it looks like we will have light rain showers.   There's a fresh SW wind so the light showers could be squally showers.    I might abandon working in 'The Hutte'  today:  I'll bring the postcards I'm working with into Ivy,  and work closer to the kettle!    I thought it was warm when I first went out (07.30) but it colder now:  maybe it's the wind that has freshened.    I'm going to put the kettle 'on', then bring in the postcards.. 15.00    It was a nice enough morning for me to do the postcards in 'The Hutte';   and made friends with a cat that comes to The Royal Burgh for it's Easter holidays.    I intended having my siesta out there but it started to rain.  The cat disappeared when a shower o' rain  came;  and I disappeared into Ivy.   It's on...

2nd April 2026 (Thursday)     09.45.... We have a lovely, sunny morning here;  but there is a chill chilly air:  luckily there's only a light breeze so hardly any windchill.    There was frost on the cars earlier (overnight Low was (- 0.9C), but the sun has shifted that.    Actually it will be warm ,   I used to like going out the bike on a morning like this.... but the roads are too busy for me to go out on the bike at this time now.   And, with this being the Easter break the villages will be busy.    19.45    I had some glass items to take to Woodhaven re-cycling place;  from where I took today's photographs.    The top photograph was taken from the Re-Cycling place.      The road into Woodhaven amenities (Toilets, Car Parks and Recycling Depot, is in a serious state of neglect.   The 'pot holes'  were full of water, so there was no clue as to there depth...

1st April 2026 (Wednesday)    10.00 .... after a spell of  early morning sunshine, the sky is clouding Photo courtesy BBC News Channel. over and we are expected to have a band of rain pass over us in the afternoon.   However the day should end with a nice evening.     At the moment, we   have a quiet morning (apart from vehicles on Ferry road), pleasantly warm, nd although cloudier than earlier we get plenty 'sunny  spells,'  .... and... there's only a light breeze. I'll miss Carol doing the weather:  she may not always have sunny weather for us, but she always had a smile that brightened even the 'dreichest' of days!  "Enjoy Retirement Carol". 19.00    The rain started at 14.30!   I know this because I was working in 'The Hutte' with my postcards.  That's the sort of job I find relaxing;   and interesting.   I also saw my first Queen Wasp of the year.... outside 'The Hutt...

31st March 2026  (Tuesday) ....  We have a bright and breezy morning, and, it's not as cold as I expected it to be when I ventured out to the gate.    If the weather stays like this I might get 'The Buggy' out sometime today.    I'm going to hang out a couple of towels, because it is a good drying day.     Ferry Road has been busy with vehicles this morning;   I suspect 'The Buggy' won't be going further than the patio. 19.30    It has been a bonnie, mostly sunny, day;  and it's quite mild now.   I have had an enjoyable day, driving to Leven and Methil, annoying Alice, shopping at Sainsbury's (the shop was quiet), back to Alice HQ for a picnic lunch,    Alan (Alice's son in law) arrived, driving his Mum's Wheelchair accessible car.    The wheelchair fits in where the front seat would normally be, so perfect for Irene being taken out for a run, with a front seat view of the scenery. ...
