Alberto's Hutte

31st August 2026 (Monday)    09.45 .... We have a sunny, and warm, Bank Holiday Monday, after a sultry kind of night.    I had to switch on the fan it was so hot.   The North East of England had a lot of thunderstorms, which have now drifted out over the North Sea.   "Sunny intervals with a moderate Westerly breeze"  is the weather forecast for KY9 today.  Me? .....  I'm going to enjoy a quiet, and relaxing, holiday Monday!    No 'ousework or anything remotely, even slightly, strenuous! 19.00    I now have my Community Alarm, which is operational, but still has to be finally 'set up';  and the annual fee paid.     A letter should arrive in the next few days with the details, of what I have to do next. We've had a lovely sunny day, though I found the morning stifling and uncomfortable.   But the wind freshened in the afternoon and we had a really nice fresh day:  a bit too hot t...

30th August 2026 (Sunday)     10.00 .... After some light rain overnight,  we have an overcast sky, with promising light patches in it.    The Fife Weather cams all show an overcast sky;  the Kinghorn one has a few brighter patches on show.... but none have 'sunny spells' at this time.   Me? ....  I'm feeling almost frolicsome this morning;   unfortunately I've lost the ability to actually 'frolic'.  But I'm happy a happy boy nonetheless.  The weather forecast for KY 9?.... 'Thundery showers with a gentle easterly breeze'.... and, there is a Yellow Warning  re the thundery showers.   And... the good bit!.... 'we could have sunny spells between any showers'! 19.00     The flo'oer tubs are being watered by a thundery shower at this moment;  so I am a happy boy.   I think this is the first shower we've had all day.   Oh ... and we did have a sunny spell in the after...

29th August 2026 (Saturday)     10.30 ..... We have a beautiful start to the Bank holiday weekend,here in KY9.    An even  mix of light cloud and sunny spells.    I've been up to Elie to pick up my prescription form Susan's;  and have hung out the small amount of washing that was in the machine. The traffic fumes up at Elie were a bit of a bummer, (there's only a light breeze so fumes tend to hang around).  I got the new Aero Chamber and inhaler and will have a shot of it after I have a cuppa.   Slight 'flap on';  the kettle will have boiled!  14.45    The holiday makers will be enjoying this warm and sunny day.  It's too hot to sit out in The Hutte for any length of time;  being 23C on the patio thermometer, it's a bit too warm for me being outside at all.   Anyway I've been resting.   The Nurse that gave me the RSV jab, warned me that I'd probably be 'hot in bed', and have a ...

28th August 2026 (Friday)     09.15 .... It's a lovely, wet morning!    Why lovely? ..... because the flower tubs are being watered as I type!    The weather forecast for KY9 is ..."thundery showers and a gentle Westerly breeze".   The thundery bit should be later in the afternoon;  fading away to give us sunny spells in the evening.     I'm feeling 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' this morning;  probably because of the change in wind direction.  I have two Nurse appointments at midday;  after that I'm going to catch up with the 'ousework. 16.30    I could hardly believe the diameter of the needle that the Nurse used to take blood this morning;  it looked like a sewing needle.   How do they make them?    Must Google that;  AI will have the answer.    Anyway the blood had been taken,:  and I met my 'new' Asthma Nurse.   She is excellent;  ...

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...
