Extremely wet and windy on my walk this morning. All the barrier things at the roads have blown over.

What a contrast in weather from yesterday
Rain is battering off my front windows driven by a SW gale. All morning ferries to and from Oban are cancelled with a review about midday.
I have no text messages from Calmac so my 6 months contact time needs to be renewed.
Definitely an indoor day.

Dull and windy today. Managed to get my meter reading into Scottish Power - their web site kept crashing, but did it via a web based form rather than the web site. Happy to report we've used much less leccy this month than in August, long may this continue - SP won't like it, really messes up their usage calculations - I've overpaid by £200 this month !

I forgot to mention about the fact that I took the cooker knobs off their spindles to give them a good clean. I also cleaned the fascia plate, too.

It's pretty bad but I've taken a couple of Rennies to see if that helps.

Was it curry night last night?

The thick mist has finally lifted and it's now just a grey cloudy morning. Still not decided what I'm going to do today or where to go, but there's still another few hours to go before it's too late to do anything. Best have another cuppa and do some more sitting around.

It's so dark here that I had to switch on the light.

Webex job interview today, ugh. I look terrible on web based cameras

Wide angle lenses never flatter. But if they're worth working for they won't care about your appearance.

when I park carefully I think about the other ppl who will be parking next to me. maybe they don't or
the boxes are now to small & getting smaller or
our vehicles just keep getting larger

Cars are certainly getting bigger, look at BMW's 'mini'!

I see from above that @tyred is to blame.

I've been painting a skirting board .
It might seem like an unusual subject but Van Gogh once painted a chair .

I believe he also painted a flower.

I have another three and a half kilos of walnuts.

This tree is very old and didn't appear to have a massive crop, but also, it seems to be the earliest ripening of all the trees I know about. So not worth going back as I couldn't really see much left. All the branches are way out of reach, so it's a furkle on hands-and-knees kind of job. That's fine if there are loads, but you do get to a point of diminishing returns of nuts found vs time spent furkling.

Spotted another promising stand of new hazel bushes for next year on the way home, and stopped nearby to pick a punnet of these delightful red-and-yellow crab apples.

Now sat down with a nice

I've been picking up some hazelnuts from the gravel path under my tree. fun.

They're tricky to see on the branches.
