That's really rather lovely tbh.

Yes, and it would last so much longer than a bunch of "real" flowers. As long as they are kept out of strong sunlight, the colours should stay bright.

Frames back from Optilabs with new lenses. Looking forward to trying out my new prescription in my cycling glasses.

I'm at a play centre thingie with No1 grandson. We were due out on a bike ride but heavy rain and wind sorted that idea out!! 😔
It's quite amazing how much noise a few hundred sweaty shouty kids can make.
I forgot my ear defenders, too

We once stopped with the kids at a swimming pool at Armadale, West Lothian. It had glass roof which seemed to bounce back and magnify the noise. It was full of kids and the noise drove us out in a very short time. We were touring in the days before campsites became more sophisticated and we used swimming pools for showers as well as swimming.

Yep. Different brand, but the same thing. I love them.

There's a stock car track at Armadale... (or there was, at any rate.)

Anyways, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

There was indeed but no idea if it is still there.

Generally not a bad day with some sunshine but also heavy hail showers.
All delivery notes, receipts and assorted paper work has been chucked into a tray for the last 10 years at least and in my unsuccessful search for my medical records I decided it was time for a clear out so spent most of the day sorting through this heap. Any reference to banking or anything which could be identified has to get separated. If put in the paper bin it is a remote chance somebody with ill intent could make use of them. Remote but possible and I am probably being a bit paranoid but better shredded before dumping.
This will probably take about a week but I am trying to declutter.
It looks like a full moon or nearly anyway and people I know like MSP’s, Councillors or teachers are convinced it has an influence on public behaviour. Could explain a lot.

Soup and pasta bake for supper.

I've just ordered a sheet of sticky-backed leatherette stuff to repair the cracks in my computer chair. Hopefully it will work.
