Alberto's Hutte

3rd June 2026 (Wednesday)     09.00 .... We have a a quiet, cloudy, start to the day;  and heavy showers forecast, with the chance of thunder.    It doesn't look like being a good drying day..... and I have one sheet to wash.    Friday looks more promising as a drying day,   Today's plan? .....  make an appointment to get my haircut;  it's beginning to bother me. 10.15    Haircut organised (12.00), and the last piece of bedding (sheet) in the washing machine.   I don't expect it will be out on the line today, but I'll see what the weather is doing later;  at the moment it's cloudy, but not raining. 14.30    The rain showers have been with us since 11.30, with very short intervals between showers:  in fact I's say we've had one long shower, of varying intensity, since 11.30.   It's wet!    I feel much better now that I've had a haircut;  in fact I feel better almo...

2nd June 2026 (Tuesday)    09.30 ..... We've just had a short, but heavy, shower that has upset today's  'plan!   Today's plan? .... was to hang out a downie cover that is in the machine ... and ready ready to hang out!   New plan?..... hang it out and hope for the best!   I've checked the Fife Weather cams, and the Kinghorn one had a couple of 'bloo' patches in the sky!    I'm a happy boy again.    19.30    The weather has been kind to me today, the washing dried long before the showers arrived in the afternoon.    Actually we've enjoyed a nice mostly sunny day.... and it has been warm. I had a broken night's sleep because it was so hot.   I eventually fell asleep;  then slept in!. The good news is ? .... the summer cold I had,  has broken, and I'm beginning to feel better.    It's always the same after I get the 'summer' booster jab;  I end up with a 'summer cold'!...

1st June 2026 (Monday)     10.00 .... we have, much needed, light rain this morning;  in fact we will  have spells of rain  most days this week.  Light rain = low pollen count;  so a bit of relief for folk bothered by hay fever.    However, light rain also means it's not a good 'drying day!    Me? .... I want to go down to Ferry Corner to take a picture of the  road works signage! 20.30    The light rain slowly faded away and we had a nice  afternoon... a mix of cloud and sunny spells, with spits and  spots of rain  now and again.   A nice enough afternoon, that, near enough, dried the washing I put out.    As you can see from today's photographs I got as far as Ferry Corner, to get the 'Road Closed' (except for residents) sign etc.  All other traffic is being diverted along Links Road;  and two way traffic on the Earlsferry one way system. What have I done today?...

31st May 2026 (Sunday)      10.00 .... It's a nice morning;  mostly sunny, with a cloud briefly hiding the sun now and again.    A good morning for Sasha doing the beach clean she organised for this morning.  I' had planned to go to The breakwater (starting point) to take photos for the blog, but got absorbed by 'work'.....  beds to strip and washing to do.     19.00     It has been a really nice, sunny and warm, day.... and  a perfect drying day.   Moving the computer was the big job when re-organising the bedrooms, but Iain had that done by mid morning;  I had the washing machine going and did the bedding, the last of which should be almost dry by now.    The first load dried in 'nae time'. Iain set off for Auchnagatt after lunch;  I did the second load of washing, then settled sown in The Hutte to watch the washing dry;  and do a Soduko.   It was too hot in The Hut...

20th May 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .....This is a perfect day for insects, so Iain is at the cliffs looking for  a butterfly that breeds there.  It certainly is a lovely sunny start to the weekend, but light rain showers could come our way later today.    At the moment it's sunny and warm;  which is why Iain is out with the camera.    Me? .... I'm going have another cuppa! 20.30    We've had a busy day;  well Iain has.     Hay fever has been bothering me, so I've been mostly useless.     Anyway the computers have been moved so a quick run round wi' the Hoover, (alias vacuum cleaner) and all will be good.  The bed will have to be made up but I can do that over the next couple of weeks.      The weather has been kind really;  only a couple of short light showers in the afternoon.   In fact Iain went up to Chapel Green to get a few photos of insects, and didn't ...

29th May 2026 (Friday)     11.15 ..... It's a lovely  morning and Ferry Road had been busy;  mostly because there's crane working at the West End of Ferry High Street.   When I set off to go to Elie I went up the High Street, making for Chapel Green, but had to reverse into Cadger's Wynd and drive (the wrong way) back down the High Street.    Anyway, I eventually reached Elie, handed in a prescription, then went to the 'paper shop';  Elie was busy!    I came back via St Ford, and found temporary traffic lights at the former farm cottages;  but, if the road is clear, they change automatically, so I didn't have to wait!   It's all go around Elie and Earlsferry this morning.   I need a cuppa! 17.15    Iain arrived at 11.15 (ish) ;  so we had a cuppa and came up with a plan for today.     We would go to Sainsbury's after lunch  to do the shopping.   In the meant...
