I was wide awake at 04.00 this morning, tried to get back to sleep but couldn't, so I got up. Had a mug of tea sat down on the sofa and promptly fell asleep. Woke up two hours later with a crick in my neck. Now I feel like death warmed up.

Well.. The 'let's walk the dog before it rains' didn't work out as planned... 😂

I love the smell of wet dog in the morning ☔

The Swarovski binoculars have just arrived, at long last. Only three days late.

Wow they really are clear, I can see the drops of water on a leaf 100m away. It's stopped raining now so I might take them with me on a walk around the woods.

Just back from a jog around Pocket Park. I ran anticlock and Mrs Tkk ran clock, that way we got to see each other on each lap 😁
Avoided the rain and our cat visitor was waiting on the doorstep when we got home.

She was due a bath so I did that when we got back as she was already wet & grubby 😂

Swarovski are arguably the best you can get.
I tested a few makes and ended up going for Opticron as, for my eyesight, the difference wasn't great enough to justify the leap in price.
Enjoy them.

How much were they ? I could do with a really good pair of binoculars
