Alberto's Hutte

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, ...

23rd April 2026 (Thursday)     "Happy St George's Day" to all my friends in 'Sunny England'! 09.00 .... Although the sky is mostly cloudy just now, we should end up with a nice sunny intervals day once the sun gets going.    I haven't been further than the gate but it doesn't feel as cold as it was yesterday;  probably because there's only a light breeze.   Then 'plan' is.... to go to Methil and annoy Alice, then do a bit of shopping for Iain coming at the weekend,   I'll have another cuppa before I do anything else! 19.30     Apart from the chilly wind off the North Sea this has been another lovely,,sunny, Spring day.   As per 'plan' I went to Leven, and Methil.   The only hold up were the roadworks at Lundin Links.  Actually, there didn't seem to be anybody working on site;  the only movement I saw was when the traffic lights changed colour!   It was the same on the return journey...

22nd April 2026 (Wednesday)      09.45 ....  The overnight 'low' on the thermometer was was 3.2C so we had a chilly stat to the morning.;  it's 9.4C , now with a light breeze.     It will  be cool on the beach.   There's  already heat in the early sunshine, so really warm sheltered from the breeze.   This could the day that I get 'The Buggy' out .... after morning coffee. 1 2.00    The sun is starting to break through the cloud that has been with us for  most of the morning;   I'm looking forward to a sunny afternoon!    Unfortunately there's a moderate breeze, and, being off the North Sea it's chilly.    I have been 'working';   d inner has been organised for tonight ... the tautties peeled etc.   I'm having 'sausages and mash' (with vegetables), one of my favourites. 19.15    It has been a nice Spring day, albeit a cold one when  out in ...

21st April 2026 (Tuesday)    09.30 .... We have sunny spells, with occasional  drizzle, blowing through on a brisk, and chilly Easterly wind.    It is a 'wrap up well morning;  especially  before going anywhere near the breach, or golf course.   Me? .... I haven't  got a 'plan', but I think this will be a 'stay in and warm' day:  probably mostly in 'The Hutte' once the sun warms it up.    I'll venture up to the 'Paper shop'  after morning coffee;  but won't be going to the harbour. 17.30     As per 'plan' I went to the 'Paper Shop;  where I caught up with the local News, then on to Colinsburgh to put fuel in the car: not an enjoyable task nowadays.    The present 'Leader of the Western World'  will go down in history as the most disruptive President of the USA  .... ever!    Let's hope that the talks, that might take place in Pakistan sometime, extends the 'cease...

20th April 2026 (Monday)      09.15 .... It'a a bonnie morning for being out and about;   I might get 'The buggy' out today;   but April showers are mentioned  in the weather forecast so I'll see how that develops.  I'm feeling? .... 'almost playful' actually,    But the 'plan' is to have a quiet day;  one of the things I'm going to do is post my Postal Vote.   Right now it's time to  have an early morning coffee.    oops ... I sneezed!    20.00    I've had a busy day.   In the morning I posted my Postal Vote, and, being as the car was pointing to the harbour I  went there;  for the firs time in a couple of weeks.   There was hardly any wind so it wasn't cold;  and I was well wrapped up. The villages are still busy with holiday folk;  or I should maybe say, 'folk I don't know'.    Some of them could be 'new locals'! As you can see fro...
