Good morning, rain forecast soon. Ernie has passed me by this month 😕.
An email from Melitta with some bank holiday offers, £9.99 per Kg for some of their coffee bean varieties so I will probably top up the reserves as we're down to our last 6kg 😁.
Inspired by Mo's athleticism I have just checked the weekly steps leaderboard. I am currently at the top but my friend Heather who's in Inveran for a few weeks is snapping at my heels, must head out for a jog/walk soon before the rain arrives.

It was a cycle. I've still to do my steps. Just having a cuppa and browse then I'll head out.

I did check the times of your first and second posts and thought that's a very respectable pace, never thought about cycling 🤣

Barnet,
Good morning all.a bit cloudy with rain forecast this afternoon.
A frantic day yesterday as my phone was nicked on Thursday evening:angry:, I'm on my old phone for internet only the moment.
Uncle Ernie has come in with £125 this month, zilch for MrsP though.
Up to the market later, the fruit bowl is looking decidedly empty.

Morning folks :okay: was pleased to see an otter by Brora bridge yesterday ^_^ otters here tend to be less 'flamboyant' and when diving they just submerge rather than their usual splashy 'flip', perhaps they know they might be observed and are in 'stealth' mode. Got to be lucky to see an otter...if you went out specifically to see one you probably wouldnt! but then again ive been fishing and an otter wouldnt ****er off! had to stop fishing as didnt want to hook it. Pic below was taken at Meikle ferry by the Dornoch bridge.

17 miles done. It's a start. :laugh:

It was worth going out early. I only had one car go past around 2 miles in and he gave me a nice wide and slow pass then I never saw another car until I was back in to the town.

It's gone very dull so I think the forecasted rain later is probably correct.

17 :eek: :eek:
Just read your follow up. Cycling.....phew!

I went to bed early, slept well but was awake at 2AM. Back at 5 and got another few hours in.
I do NOT feel like it but must get a walk of some kind in. Heavy rain forecast for tomorrow and I cant see myself walking in that.

Morning all :hello:

Tip run to dump a load of cardboard, then doggie walking.
Only 50 quid on PBs this month.
