Morning .
It is dark out .
A few minutes ago it was hammering down with rain .
I left Georgie sat watching our small freezer last night . He thinks his friend is now in the kitchen .
There were no remains on the floor this morning and the mouse trap is still set so no sign of the rodent .

It's twiddling down! ☔

Good morning. The apartment is quiet because Tinybug is asleep; she and Beautiful Wife watched the wedding of Brother in Law in Japan online and it took place at 4AM German time...

Woken by a thunderstorm, listened to it rolling past from the comfort of my bed.

Tipping down again . Georgie came in looking like a drowned rat ! He enjoyed being towel dried . I left him in the kitchen to keep an eye out for his friend .

It seems to have stopped raining

It stopped raining so we went out for a morning Walkies 🐶

Then it started again...

We have one who likes to be dried with anything from the dirty laundry basket. Might Georgie’s friend be under the fridge? My first cat hunted a bat under the fridge.

My new walking boots are breaking in nicely. There’s one bit that feels as if it might rub but hasn’t done so far. I shall clean and re proof them today after Friday’s soaking. The Mr’s boots are still drying out. They turned out to be even less waterproof than my old ones, despite being structurally intact.

Raining here so no early doors ride
First cuppa is brewing
Garden birds will have to wait
I have a banana loaf to make today

I've had a 5 mile jog, steep in the bath and finished breakfast and it's not even 9am. What to do now.

I really need to sort out the chain and cassette on the Xtracycle; it's so badly worn it occasionally slips under load.

I'm wondering about "downgrading" it back to 7 speed because it really never worked properly with an 8 spd cassette. Will have to look in the stores department and see if I've got the bits.

So far dry and dull day and still not much wind.
Does not stop Calmac from having problems of course and nearly every morning at 0530 a ping tells me another text is in from them with some issue or other.
Somebody has nicked half of a whale jawbone from Ardnamurchan. Probably a tourist but what on earth would anyone want with such a thing.
I can understand the memorial metal bench stolen from a viewpoint but could not possible be local as it would be instantly recognisable.
Some who come here think they have arrived in thieving paradise and steal anything they fancy before making off on an early ferry as the theft has not yet been detected.

Found a robin at the foot of the stairs being petrified by my two furry feline thugs. He doesn't seem too damaged so is now released back into a clump of trees. He did fly a bit once gently tipped out of the box.

She does look rather damp on the corners.

Good morning. The apartment is quiet because Tinybug is asleep; she and Beautiful Wife watched the wedding of Brother in Law in Japan online and it took place at 4AM German time...

Tinybug came in about 20 min later: hair everywhere, wanders over for a hug. Muffled voice from inside my Fleece:

"Mrmte tost"
"Pardon?"
"Mrmt tst."
"What about Marmite Toast?"
"Fuggedit. M too sleepy."
