Alberto's Hutte

7th April 2026 (Tuesday) .... 09.00 .... It's a beautiful Spring morning ; a 'get up and go' morning.  I'm going to Leven and Methil;  Methil to annoy Alice, before we go shopping in Leven.     I might be tempted to take 'The Buggy' out in the afternoon, but that depends on how busy the roads are.   It's 7C just now, so could be really warm in the afternoon.   Off to have another cuppa. 19.00    It has been a nice sunny day, but there's a chilly wind off the North Sea, so colder than we need!    The shopping trip to Methil and Leven went well,,   The roadworks, (with temporary traffic lights) in Lundin Links, are a nuisance:  it wasn't too bad on the way to Methil, but I had two five minute stops, on the way to the traffic light, on the way home.   The queue was back as far as The Old manor.   That was frustrating. I eventually got back to Ivy, and moored up' at the gate, so didn't h...

6th April 2026 (Monday)       09.45 .... It's a nice, quiet kind of morning;  joggers joggin', golfers golfin'.... a bonnie morning to be out and about.     There's only a light, breeze so it's cool but not cold;  I might actually venture up to the phone box to get a few shots of the golf course.    Although not a great ';drying day' I'm going to put a washing out;  that's the 'work' bit for today. 16 30    This has been a lovely Spring day, and I have been busy.   I decided to have a daunder to the phone box, but, feeling good, I went up to the seat at the 17th green.   The golf course was busy, it was a warm sunny day, and I was out with the camera,  and enjoying being out. This is Easter Monday so the road was busy with holiday traffic.   Actually I've seen cars go down Ferry Road with bikes on the back, and suitcases on the roof rack.   Could this be holidaymakers star...

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...
