Alberto's Hutte

29th September 2026 (Tuesday)     09.00 ....  It's a nice morning, but there's a change of wind direction with a cool breeze from the SE.    A nice morning for doing the Coastal Path.    I'm going Methil and Leven;  via Elie, to pick up a prescription.    A new inhaler to replace the 'Blue' one. 19.30     This has been a busy day.    I went to Methil, via Elie (Chemist), then  Colinsburgh to fuel up the car, and on  to Methil to annoy Alice, before going to Sainsbury's.   We had a successful shopping mission!    I hope the voters in the USA come to their sensed at the mid term elections;  the World can't take much more of this President of the United States!    That moan was brought on by the price of fuel;  it cost me £42 this morning, and I only use the car now and again.    No runs to Crail or anything like that now!  The World is holding ...

28th September 2026 (Monday)     We have a lovely, 'bright and breezy' morning here in KY9;  almost 'wall to wall' blue sky actually.    I'll have a short walk, after an early morning coffee, then go up to Elie to pick up a prescription.   I meant to so that on Saturday but got diverted! 11.45    I haven't been for my walk yet;  but the Buggy has been brought out of it's nest, and the battery put on charge.   That will take about 4 hours so I don't think I'll go out on it, 'The Buggy', today.   Hauling it out of it's nest is heavy work;  that will be today's 'work'! I'll go for my short walk after a late morning coffee.   The air is chillier than I expected;  but that will be because of the cloud. My short walk ended up at Nana's Seat;  but, my word sitting on Nana's Seat is not very comfortable, owning to the sand building up.    Mind you, it would be fine for having a catnap!...

27th September 2026  (Sunday)       10.45 .... The sky is heavily overcast;  and, when I was out at  the bin, the first spits and spots of rain mentioned in today's weather forecast arrived.   I think it's to be with us 'on and off' for most of the day.   It's not going to bother me, as I have 'inside work' planned for today.     I didn't go out for my walk:  'Laura'  (Kuenssberg), questioning Prime Minister Andy Burnham on the BBC News Channel, was really interesting.   'Andy' had a lot of good ideas for the  country, but the thorny problems;  the rising cost of Welfare (he'd do well to check to find out if the woman from East Sussex, filmed holidaying in Mexico while on benefits, could be the tip of a very large iceberg),  and illegal immigration, will have to be solved by the next General Election.    It will be interesting to see what his plan for the country is, in his...

26th September 2026 (Saturday)     09.30 .... We have a lovely Autumnal morning here at KY9; a perfect morning for being 'out and about'.    Me? .... I slept in, so haven't been for the early morning short walk I planned on having:  anyway this is a 'rest day' after the last few 'working' days.    Should I have an early morning coffee? .... yes I think I should!    And come up with an 'action plan' for the day.    16.30    Although breezy, it has been a lovely sunny day, and warm sheltered from the breeze.    As you can see from today's photographs I was slightly more adventurous with my short walk;  I eventually reached the Thistle Clubhouse, via Ferry Corner, to Rotten Row at The Old Diary.   The weather forecast isn't great for Sunday, so I took a wheen o' photies:  tomorrow's photies, if I can't get out because of the weather, have been taken today! I noticed a number of Red Admiral ...

25th September 2026 (Friday)     09.45 ....  We've had some light rain overnight, but that has moved away to leave us with an overcast sky;  a sky that is already showing promising signs of breaking up.   We should have sunny spells by morning coffee time.   That would,be handy because the downie cover is ready to go out on the line. I have some computer stuff to do;  so that is the main 'plan' for today.   However I am also going to have a walk with the 'hurdy gurdy';  hopefully as far as the beach this time.   17.45    I set off for a short walk late in the afternoon.  I'd spent 2 hours in The Hutte doing a Soduko, and reading the Times book, about the history of trains, that Michael gave me... and... while keeping an eye on the weather!   The downie cover was on the line and some of the clouds were threatening looking.   A couple of times a few spits ans spots hit the Hutte...

24th September 2026 (Thursday)     09.45 .... There are some light fluffy clouds around just now, but the sun is working on that, and we should have good sunny intervals throughout the day.    The air (SW) is a wee bit cooler;  but that is easily taken care of  with a heavier jersey and woolly hat!   It's a washing day!  11.45    I've had a short walk as far as the Toon Hall, so today's photographs are .... today's.    I met Sandie (Bishop) out with her dog;  another friendly 'new local' to look forward to meeting when I go out.   The new inhaler is definitely helping my breathing!     I was using Jimmy's 'hurdy gurdy' (walking aid with wheels);  a useful piece of kit because it has a seat;  but I need a new, lighter weight one, that will fit into the car boot.   The washing is on the line, so I'm now having a well earned 'morning coffee'! 19.30     I e...
