Suddenly, i'm not the local legend on one of my commute sections anymore.

Well boo hoo :laugh:

Went up to visit my wildlife pal. He has collected a few old road signs and put one up at the bottom of his road. It says MAX 15MPH. The joke is that even 5mph is pushing things a bit with a car due to the potholes.
I certainly would not attempt to take my trike up there tho' I would take a two wheeled bike ok.
It keeps the tourists away as they swarm everywhere.:rolleyes:
He is not too enchanted with Springwatch either for a variety of reasons but mainly because they publicised a nice quiet area. It used to be a nice bike run up to the top of Loch Ba with the possibility of an old track over to Glen More. It will pretty soon be overrun with cars parked everywhere and crowds looking for the "amazing wildlife" which they have frightened away.:sad:

Went for walk up town and managed to stay dry. Had a browse for books, records and CDs in a second handed shop I sometimes frequent. Got a few bits and pieces. I think they need to move to larger premises as there is far too much stock and you need to breathe in to fit up the aisles and try not to trip over boxes or end up buried under an avalanche of books.

Stormy and one second blue skies, next pouting rain, I think I will cancel tonight's ride and do extra tomorrow.

There are bookshops like that in Wigtown in Galloway which has turned into a "book town" and has an annual festival which involves lots of other booksellers from out with the area. A dangerous place to go if you have a tendency to buy books.:whistle:

My best friend runs a bookshop. Does that count? :whistle:
