Alberto's Hutte

29th April 2026 (Wednesday)      09.15 ....  We have a "bright, with a light Easterly breeze' morning";    definitely a 'play day'.    The temperature went down to 2.6C overnight, but is now at 6.8C.  We should have a lovely, warm day;  though there will be a cool onshore breeze on the beach.... and maybe even on the golf course.   Me? ....  I'm feeling almost 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' this morning;  and ready  to'play' with the new Hoover.    I'll have an early morning coffee first. 14.45    I enjoyed using the new Hoover, but, my word, it was hard work!   Then, after I'd finished,  I remembered that  there's a bit you slide to uncover air holes,  to make it easier on deep pile carpets.    Anyway the Hoover sooks brilliantly;  there's stuff in the stoor container.    Which bin does that go in I wonder? It is a bonnie, sunny day now, and ...

28th April 2026 (Tuesday)     09.30 ..... We have light cloud just now, but sunny intervals  are  forecast for the afternoon.   There's a light Easterly breeze, so I imagine it will be cool on the beach.   It was 10.8C on the thermometer when I went out 10 minutes ago.   Oh.... I don't feel as lethargic as I was yesterday, but I'm not going to over exert myself today!    That's another way of saying that this is going to be a 'stay in and stay warm , and lazy, day.'      17.00     I went out to The Hutte after lunch to do a few Sudoku's, and have my siesta;  actually it wasn't as warm as I thought it would be, because the sun hadn't broken through.   I came in and watched the snooker,  until the Official  Ceremony welcoming the King and Queen to the USA.  That went well, and President Trump's speech was just the right length... with some humour in it.  ...

27th April 2026 (Monday)      09.15 ..... I had fun in the shower this morning;  the water kept going from really hot to cold all the time;  this is caused by low water pressure.    Anyway I danced around, in and out of the water, and had a shower of sorts.   I've done the important thing;  filled up a container with  water for the kettle;  it's all 'go' at Ivy now!    Apparently there's a burst pipe in the Ferry High Street.    Off to have a banana .... and another cuppa.    And, I need the sun to break through and warm up 'The Hutte'.    'Light rain' showers  are mentioned in the weather forecast for KY9.    I think this will be a 'lazy' day for me. 20.00    I said I'd have a 'lazy day' ... and  that is what I've had.    I went up to Chapel Green in the car, and had a short walk around and took a few photies.   I'm always surprised at t...

26th April 2026 (Sunday)     10.00  .... It's a quiet morning;  but that could be because I haven't got my hearing aids in yet!   I'll remedy that immediately!   At the moment ,all cars on Ferry Road are moving under battery power.   That's better;  it isn't as quiet a morning as I thought! At the moment we have light cloud, but 'sunny intervals with a light breeze' is forecast' to we  should have a  lovely afternoon. I see on the News that there has been an attempt to get close  to President Trump, ( presumably with the intention of shooting him) by a person with guns ans knives, but, luckily, the potential assailant never actually got into the room the President was in, thanks to the Security   Did the World heave a sigh of relief?    There is so much  so hatred, and availability of weapons, in the World nowadays!  Anyway no one died in the incident, but one of the Security people...

25th April 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .... The sun is slowly shifting the early morning fog/low cloud we had earlier.   "Sunny intervals, with a moderate Easterly breeze" is forecast, so we should have a lovely afternoon;  but it will be cool out in the open.   We're going to Leven (after another cuppa) to get some of Iain's 'Freefrom' food, and a new Hoover  for me.   Does the firm Hoover still make 'Hoovers'? 16.00    Iain has been up to Chapel Green looking for insects to photograph;  Me? ..... I fell asleep in 'The Hutte'.    Oh our trip tp Leven went perfectly;  the only hindrance being the roadworks in Lundin Links.    The workmen were there today! I got my new 'Hoover';  it's a Vax... an much quieter that the old one.    The old one had bits falling off it so was well ready for the re-cycling yard.    I've been meaning to get a new 'oover for a while, so I'm a h...

24th April 2026 (Friday)     08.30 .....  we have thick fog just now but that should clear by midday.  We should end up with wall to wall sunshine later!   The main problem is not with the weather this morning;  there's serious lack of water pressure.    I've done the vital job of filling up a jug and a couple of bottles to keep the kettle topped up.    Oh ... and there's a 'Very High' pollen count for KY9;  it's the hay fever season!    20.00    The fog cleared away after morning coffee to give us a lovely, sunny and warm, Spring day.     That said, the light breeze was off the North sea so it would be cooler on the beach.    Iain arrived about 14.00 and caught me lounging in 'The Hutte';   I wasn't quite asleep.   Since then we've caught up with each other's News, and made a 'plan' for tomorrow.    I need a new 'oover, so we'll get one tomorrow, ...
