Morning.
Pets!
Georgie is behaving strangely! He came in last night and disappeared. We didn't know if he had sneaked out again but left the doors open so that he could go out if he wanted to . We weren't woken in the middle of the night by him walking over us .
This morning I noticed that his biscuits hadn't been touched but put his wet food down for him . After a while I went out and whistled for him . Still no Georgie! My wife went out and called for him . Still no cat. My wife suggested that he might be locked in a room upstairs . All of the doors were open but I found him lying on the floor not wishing to get up . I carried him down for some food . He hardly touched his food but ate a few treats. He has been washing concentrating on his left shoulder .
I can now see blood on the left side of his neck ! . A trip to the vet !

Managed to keep dry during my walk. Now that the schools are back there is a noticeable increase in traffic. Also seems quite a few teenagers now have those electric scooter things to go to school on.

I had porridge for breakfast. Later I need to take my sickly Skoda to garage number four. Would probably be better and take it to the scrapyard. Easily the worst car I have ever owned.

Good morning.

I bought a new pair of work trousers this week.

Wouldn't get much wear in our house.

Is it OK to go cycling in this rain stuff? Been so long.
Do I need any special kit?

Just a rain jacket, it'll be OK.

Lovely sunny morning again but light showers forecast for later.
We had 3 cruise ships in yesterday. Apart from cluttering up the street I cannot see what good they do apart from lots of money to the marina for landing fees.
Last evening I heard a strange sound outside and looking out it appears one of them is leaving giving 3 blasts on it's horn. This always seems strange to me as 3 blasts is the recognised signal for " my engines are going astern". Never heard of any problems but still seems odd.
Must go down to Calmac office to sort out tickets for my next trip.

Its just stopped raining.The garden looks nice.The soil in the flower bed looks dark rich and crumbly,pity for when it dries it goes rock hard like concrete and looks grey.So October the job is a new flower bed.Thirty foot of scaffold boarding going in and four massive compost bins to be riddled to produce material to improve the soil.Then all new shrubs,bushes,plants and even a tree for some height and shade 2023 is going to see some changes.Looking forward to Mrs P's ideas.

Can I have a rest now ?
Georgie has been to the vets. He has had his neck shaved . There are 2 puncture wounds, the vet thinks they are a few days old . The wound has been cleaned and he has had so medicine .
He is now running around wanting to go out .
