Been very clearly reminded at work that all animals are equal but some animals are even more equal.
Oh the joy of being an Eastern European immigrant.

The insider/outsider thing is weird isn't it - especially when it's predicated on ideas of stereotypes held by people who have no real or direct knowledge of just what the reality is. I've been an 'outsider' several times for extended periods in my working life and it's not a comfortable thing to be, whoever and wherever you are. At its best, it can be tiring, and at its worst, it's unbearable.

Retaliation in the heat of the moment is never wise - unless someone else does it for you!

@classic33 speaks much that is wise.

Time to put Dan Archibald into the relevant pigeonhole in my imagination, call it quits on the writing for tonight and head off upstairs for some shut-eye.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Good morning.

Overslept today; this is generally a good sign I need a holiday.

Am I the only one who's actually sleeping better in the heat?

You aren't alone, l sleep really well and more often because l have a siesta in the afternoon as well as sleeping through the night. Admittedly l don't usually go to bed until well after midnight

I tend to sleep like a log in any weather or situation, which I suspect means I'm not getting enough sleep overall.

There's a lot of spindrift around this morning.

Bagsy it's not me to be first to take the bag of rubbish to the bin or to unlock the back gate.. 🤞

 

[Illaveago]

Was it a bucket & spade?

No . It had 2 wheels and a frame .

 

[Illaveago]

Morning .
I had better go and see if the plants need watering !

 

[Illaveago]

Oh! It's going on far too long !

Why can't they just have pistols at dawn and get it over with !

Overcast but dry and forecast to remain so for the rest of today and tomorrow.
Looked out when I got up at about 0645 and saw a local cyclist heading out. He passed me yesterday going at some insane speed but still had time to shout a greeting. Probably doing a North Mull circuit which entails some nasty climbs. Possibly training for some competition as he used to be quite successful at cyclocross events.
He used to be a local garage mechanic but now works offshore for 12 weeks at a time and then home for extended periods. When he first started with a mountain bike he used to ask me for advice but now I have to ask his advice and get him to fix things I cannot manage myself.

I'm going to take the dog out for a walk before the temperature rises too much 🐶

 

[woodbutchmaster]

Had to bring them in , they might get sunburn if l leave them outside😄

More like there was a fog here, going by the light, only there wasn't a fog or even a mist. It were just an odd colour to dawns early light.
