Alberto's Hutte

27th August 2026 (Thursday)     09.15 .... It's a grey morning at present, but it's dry;   but lightrain could come our way in the afternoon.   No mention of 'sunny spells' in the forecast!   I had a good night's sleep, though I woke up a couple of times for a drink of water;  but didn't wake up at 04.00.   I woke up at 07.15. extricated myself from my comfy bed, got 'up' and showered.    I've had breakfast, all I need now is another cuppa!   20.00    That's the RSV jab at the Randolph Wemyess done;  all I need now, to be ready for the winter, are the flu and COVID boosters.   Anyway I went to 'Alice HQ' where we had a cuppa, before going across to visit Alice's friend Barbara.   Barbara broke her arm a few weeks ago and is well on the mend.  We chatted about a variety of subjects, then Alice and I went back to Alice's to have sandwich lunch, before going to the Rando...

26th August 2026 (Wednesday)     08.30 .... There's a fair bit of cloud around just now, but the weather forecast is good;  "sunny intervals with a moderate Easterly breeze", and it's to be warm.   So a nice day ahead.     As long as it doesn't become too hot. I'm organised for my RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) vaccine...  13.35 at the Randolph Wemyess.   I've just checked the date and it's tomorrow! (27th) .... not today.    'Flap off' ... and the kettle 'on'. 13.15   I've been a lazy boy today;  in fact I fell sound asleep in The Hutte;  but I woke up feeling refreshed so must have been needing it.  Breaking my sleep to take my medicine at 04.00 has been tiring;  not just because I'd to do that, but I kept waking up a couple of times before 04.00 ,so was losing a lot of overnight sleep.      Anyway that's all done with now;  I had my last dose at 10.00 this morn...

25th August 2026 (Tuesday)     09.45 .... After some light rain overnight we have an overcast sky that is beginning to show signs of breaking up, to give us 'sunny spells'.    There's only a light SE breeze, so a nice enough morning (and afternoon) ahead once the sun does break through;  apart from the wind direction!     I'm going to do the washing hat I should have done yesterday.  Weather permitting, it should be dry by evening time.   Apart fro the washing, and a wee bit of 'ousework, this is going to be a quiet ,'rest day' for me. 17.30    My 'rest day' hasn't been a completely lazy day;  the washing has been done... and ironed.   But I'd say that I have enjoyed a quiet day;  and I thought the air has been cool today.  It is coming in from the North  Sea, so I suppose it should feel cool, especially if the sun is behind clouds;  as it has been most of the time.    Any...

24th August 2026 (Monday)     19.30 .... I've been a busy boy today;  I even forgot to update The Hutte in the morning;  and I apologise for that.   Everything was going as per 'plan', and for some obscure reason I forgot my normal morning routine.   I only found out 20 minutes ago that 'The Hutte' hadn't been done;  so I now have a' mild Flap On' to get up to date. First of all it has been a bonnie sunny day here;  the only problem being the SE breeze.   That wind direction, and the heat, does not agree with me at all.   Anyway we've had a nice day;  and I am tired at the end of it! As planned I went to Methil to visit Alice, and catch up with her news.   After a 'catch up' cuppa, we went to Sainsbury's to do a wee bit of shopping.   Alice was looking for a clothes line, but they didn't seem to have them in Sainsbury's;  we couldn't find them if they did have them.   Her ...

23rd August 2026 (Sunday)    10.15 .... The 'plan' was to go to Methil and annoy Alice this morning, but I've had a migraine;  so that had to be cancelled.  Funnily enough, apart from the migraine, I feel much better than I have done for a couple of weeks.   I think this means the effects of the pills (Prednisolone)  might have worn off:  they certainly had numerous 'effects'.    The main test will be doing a hard Soduko!  Anyway, I'm feeling almost 'bright eyed and bushy tailed', but this will now be a 'rest day'. We have a lovely morning here in KY9;  mostly blue sky with a light NW breeze.   A brilliant morning to be walking the Coastal Path. 15.00     The temperature is at 23C on the patio thermometer; so it's too hot to sit out in The Hutte.   It's even warm in Ivy.   I'd set up a hard Soduko to test the brain, but gave up in the heat.   I'll have a go (at the Soduko)...

22nd August 2026  (Saturday)     I'll start by wishing Janice a "Happy Birthday":   have a lovely weekend at the New Forest. xxx  10.45 .... we have a 'wall to wall' blue sky just now; so I can't tell from which direction the breeze is coming, because there are no clouds.   However, the Flag on the third green suggests a light breeze from the NW just now.   My breathing is reasonable this morning;  but that last cold I had, has left it's mark there's no doubt about that.  However, I'm looking forward to next Friday, when I have an appointment with the Asthma Nurse.   I can't go jogging like this!.... but I'm feeling 'playful'. 16.00    It's too hot to sit in The Hutte, so I came in to play with the few photographs I got this morning when up at Elie.   From that you will have deduced that we have a lovely sunny day here.  There's more cloud about now;  but the sun  doesn't hide...
