Alberto's Hutte

17th October 2026 (Saturday)     09.45 .... It's 6C on the thermometer at the moment;  a perfect, fresh autumnal morning to be out and about.   The Coastal path should be busy today.    'JB' is out with the camera;  I've fed 'Blob' and had my won breakfast;  and now ready to go out to play;  i.e. go up to The Hutte, with a cuppa, and have a look at a Soduko. 22.00     'JB'  is on his way home to 'Sunny Sussex' tonight.   H phoned to let me know that he is at the Edinburgh Bus Station now.    We went along to Elie to catch the 18.43 X61, which came in early.   Actually it wasn't early;  the bus that 'JB' got on in Elie, was the bus that was supposed to arrive in Elie at 18.10, but was 30 minutes late:  anyway 'JB' will be on the London Coach by now, ready to leave Edinburgh, on his way home to 'Sunny Sussex'. I've enjoyed 'JB's company:  shopping trips, the runs in th...

16th October 2026 (Friday)       09.30  .... It's a quiet kind of morning at KY9;  'sunny spells with a moderate , Westerly breeze' is the forecast, and that is what we have.     The air is cool, but a nice morning for being out, which is where 'JB' is just now;  over at Kincraig cliffs with the camera. I've hung out a washing;  fed,  and conversed with 'Blob';  and feed myself and have a cuppa after this update.  All is good in the Royal Burgh this morning! 'JB' had a sudden change of plan when he went out this morning;  he decided to go to the Lady's Tower and lighthouse again, then through Elie Estate for a change.   he is thinking of going to do the cliffs early tomorrow morning.    Although John is  going home tomorrow, travelling overnight from Edinburgh to London by coach ,he doesn't leave Elie until 18.40.   Hence the tentative plan to do the cliffs walk, tomorrow morni...

15th October 2026 (Thursday)  16.00 .... I thought I wrote, and updated The Hutte before John and I  set off for Cupar;  but obviously I didn't.   Sorry about that.    Anyway;  the rain that was forecast for last night and into this morning had passed over before 08.00 so we had a pleasant journey to Fisher and Donaldson's.   here was some water on the roads but not what we expected.   We didn't take long to do the shopping, and came home by way of  Ceres.    We immediately had a cuppa to celebrate a successful mission. After lunch John went to the harbour with the camera;  and I did a Soduko in The Hutte.   In fact John has just come in, so I'll download the  harbour photographs. 20.00    Maybe it's just me;  but I think it turned colder in the afternoon, more like Autumn actually.   'JB' got some bonnie photographs at the harbour (and it was cold down there too;...

14th October 2026 (Wednesday)     09.30 ....  It's a nice, fresh morning;  but cloud is moving in from the West and rain is mentioned in the weather forecast.   The washing we left out last night is drying, and should be dry long before the rain arrives.    John had come in, in after his morning walk with the camera;  hopefully with a batch of photographs for me to play with!    Me? .... I fed 'Blob'.   My next mission is to download the photies that 'JB' got this morning:  he has been out to the lighthouse. 14.30    The sun has broken through, so 'JB' is off to Chapel Green with the camera;  I'm going up to The Hutte to do a Soduko.   John got some bonnie photographs at sunrise time;  all the way from the beach out to the Lady's Tower and the lighthouse.    The light was excellent, and ever changing;  it always is, but  more noticeable at sunrise time. John...

13th October 2026 (Tuesday)     10.45 .... Rain, we had overnight, has cleared away to leave us with a bright and breezy morning;  and the chance of squally showers in the afternoon.    I began my morning with a migraine, which is a bit of a bummer; a migraine in the morning usually spoils the whole day.  However, I've taken the pills, and now ready to do things.... but I think this will mostly be a rest day for me.   'JB' is thinking of taking the camera out to the lighthouse for a change of scenery. 17.45    The weather has been.... er .... mixed id probably the best description!    Bright and breezy until the early afternoon;  then a squally shower came over and soaked everything... including the washing I'd hung out in the morning.    John decided to cancel going out with the camera after lunch because of the threatening clouds towards the NW.    He decided to go to 'The Store'  (Anstruthe...

12th October 2026 (Monday)     11.15 .... The sky is overcast, and a SE breeze,  and light rain  mentioned in the forecast.    It looks like the rain isn't far away!    John went out with the camera at sunrise time, to get today's photographs.    Me? .... I slept in;  I didn't even hear John going out.    The remainder of the day is going to be a 'rest day'.   We're watching 'The Man who would be King' on BBC i Player (it's on 'Hold' just now);  that's the kind of day we're going to have.   Must 'go' slight Flap On';  need to put the kettle 'on'.  17.00    Apart from a light shower in the middle of the day, the weather has has been dry, but dull.    Not the bonniest kind of day for going out with the camera;  but that didn't stop us.    The Top photograph was one of the sunrise time photies that 'JB' got this morning.   He also got some b...
