Lunchtime fight on the back lawn, blackbirds v a magpie. Then I discovered a dead small bird on the lawn, probably a baby blackbird.
Had a trek to the country store for some suet balls, out and back the same way.

It's warmed up nicely now. 22°C. Sitting in the sunny garden of the Corner café with a double espresso and a chilled water.

As with most grassed areas in our area. Our green no longer gets cut much so the grass is about a foot high. Charlie on his early evening potter decided to bulldozer his why though it and not round it. So it now has a Westie shaped trench all the way though it end to end.

I noticed how high our grass along the road has become, apart from those places where people have mown outside their houses.

Bart the cygnet seems to disappeared! I named him Bart after this morning's episode. He was lagging behind his parents and seemed to want to go looking around on his own. We think that the swans are inexperienced and not used to looking after little ones .

Sounds a lot like mine at least until I cut mine yesterday

Listening to the T20, it still leaves me cold reminds me of a play ground knock about but wearing bright tasteless PJ's.
No substitute for the longer game.

Fabby luncheon of seafood stick sandwiches, an apple, a banana, some raspberries and two

Sat for half an hour reading in the sun.

I am now making mostly orange, ginger & chilli marmalade. There's a few tangerines and a lemon in there too.

If you'd have cut them in half, they'd have been a better fit. And where's the onions?

Where's the fun in that 😂
& the onions are still growing.. 👍

It's a good morning unless you're supposed to be on that boat.

A very sore subject around here. Today some have been bumped from their booked sailing because our big boat has been sudenly taken away for a run to Colonsay leaving a small boat with limited room.

A most miserable day. The fog never lifted and to add further discomfort light rain started so a bit miserable for cycling. To add further insult some at least have had their ferry bookings off island cancelled.
Yesterday was a lovely day and tomorrow is forecast to be nice and sunny as well.
Mooched around the house all day doing nothing useful but reading and a bit of packing for my projected trip.

Nice 3 mile walk before it got too hot this morning followed by lots of pottering about in the garden, watering plants, lounging around and reading, drinking coffee & Dr Pepper (not at the same time, obv!)
Lovely day ☀

We passed a roadsign pointing to Notterbridge!
Do the locals tell people? "Best not go down there as Notterbridge is there!"
Is it some flimsy structure or a vast chasm?

We had a game in the 60's named hit and run.just slogging at everything,no style or finesse at all.

I remember that and I think it was called French cricket were you had to avoid your legs being hit by the ball.

I suppose I had better go and wash my jars...
