Microdaft has decided to display the local temperature in Fahrenheit today. It's also decided that I'm in Greenwich. So it's 67F degrees at 0 degrees longitude. My watch tells me that it's 18C degrees.

Deptford is calling you back.

A slight smirr at one point as I was about to set off on the trike but it only lasted about 10 minutes so got a decent run on busy road again.
Went to get my medication from the pharmacy. No chance as I could not get anywhere near the shop due to multitudes of cars and crowds of touroid practically shoulder to shoulder everywhere. I cannot see any pleasure in what they do and wonder if any of them ever give a thought to the effect they have on those who actually live here. I very much doubt it as the general touroid is entirely selfish and self centred.
Met another neighbour who was born here but lived in S. Africa for many years. She also was sick of tourism and would move away if possible because of the unpleasantness of the whole scene nowadays.
I would like to go to Iona again one day but I think it would be a mistake and spoil my memories of previous visits.
A sea eagle chick has apparently died of asian bird flu. On FB it is noticeable that those who are not sympathetic get the most likes to their posts and the RSPB get no sympathy whatsoever.

The only Scottish Island i have visited is Sky Went to catch up with a couple of friends who were wardens at Harlosh Youth Hostel Must have been late fifties The bridge between the main land and the island hadn’t been built I wondered how Mull compares in size with Sky .It was the first two weeks of August when I visited.Wasn’t overcrowded with tourists back then.

Oyster mushrooms lend themselves really well to it and all... It's another dish where I actually prefer the veggie version to the meat version.

Indeed, gotta be mushroom heavy. With strips of beef if I may.

Taking the cats to the vet tomorrow for their jabs. The scratches I got from last time have just about healed.

Time to put the writing away and head off to bed via a hot bath.

Whilst we were sat on a park bench by the river in Bath yesterday I saw a Kingfisher fly the length of it ! It was lovely to see the bright blue bird flying along at eye level.
I was a bit miffed that I didn't have my camera out at the time .

Finished breakfast with Tinybug, and as it's Saturday we watched a bike touring video. Now we're contemplating a ride.
