Alberto's Hutte

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...

28th May 2026 (Thursday)      09.00 .... WE have a lovely, sunny and warm, morning, with a light breeze from the SE.   The air is already warm so it's going to be hot in the afternoon.     It looks like being a 'rest' day for me.   That said the breeze should make it bearable.    Anyway the weather is due to change tomorrow, with the wind veering to the SW. 17.15    Joyful 'me'!    The weather has been sunny all day with a fresh SE win:  Actually it would be cool on the beach, but it was warm sheltered from the wind.     I've had a busy day;  not a hard working one, but one that had me doing something useful.   Sasha, and Nicola (daughter and Mum), came to find out what I knew about local erosion;  this was for a project she is doing at school.   I don't know if I was much help, but I enjoyed talking to them about Elie and Earlsferry.     Erosi...

27th May 2026 (Wednesday)     10.00 .... At the moment there's a layer of light cloud drifted in from the North Sea, on a light Easterly breeze.   However  the sun shouldn't rake long to burn that back; to give us with sunny intervals by lunch time.    Although the wind is Easterly it's not  cold, but definitely cooler than it has been for the past few days,   With the wind being off the sea I didn't go up to Chapel Green this morning, but did hang out a washing because it's a drying breeze!   I'd go out on 'The Buggy' but Ferry Road has been busy with traffic this morning;  it's still mid term so the villages will be busy. 17.15    The wind has freshened and, because it's off the sea it's chilly, especially after the heat of the past few days.    The change of wind direction and temperature does not agree with me, so I've been pottering around Ivy today.   Mostly  working on the com...

26th May 2026 (Tuesday)     11.00 .... It's an absolutely stunning morning;  and I have been up to Chapel Green (in the car)  to enjoy some sun, before it becomes too hot.   There's a nice breeze (SSE) so it will be a nice day for the beach. and golf course.    A few years ago I'd have gone out  early, on the bike, to go for the paper;  sometimes via St Andrews!   Those days are past.... but I have the photographs!    That reminds me I took a load o' photies up at Chapel Green so today's photographs were taken.... today! 15.30     I was amazed at how I felt this morning;  I can't say I was "bright eyed and bushy tailed'"... but I wasn't far from it, up at Chapel Green.   I even walked round the green, stopping  to have a rest at 'The Boss's seat.    When I left the seat I'd decided to do some 'ooverin' and dustin'.    That hadn't been on my mind when I got 'u...
