Must be a nightmare riding on that road - our friends used to live in Perth 20 years ago and it was very busy even back then.
I had to do some chores in Golspie today i wouldnt choose to ride on it, I guess im used to the peace of the back roads so comes as bit of a shock to have to dice with the traffic. The summer holiday traffic can be dangerous...twice ive nearly had a head on while driving- once by a boy racer on my side of the road and another by a motorhome driver reading a map :rolleyes:

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Kindle's Unlimited is a great deal.

I read a lot but Mrs SD reads enormous amounts of books - she is a very retentive speed reader and can read for hours on end.

My brain fades after a couple of hours. ^_^


I must admit, I read a lot as well.:laugh:

Amazon do music as well although I don't know if It is any good. I have kindle unlimited for books. I love it. Kindle music costs about £7.99 a month, the same as for kindle books i imagine.
Since I seem to be all Apple now I have subscribed to Apple Music. Just asked Siri to play me Beethoven’s 5th Piano Concerto and it found it immediately and started playing. Isn’t technology amazing these days. :laugh:

No way I would ride on the A9 around here. I hate even having to cross over it occasionally. Always wait for a huge gap in the traffic. The curtain siders nearly suck you off just waiting at the junctions.

We had our booster jabs this morning. So far so good. I am not complacent so will know better tomorrow.
Sat with a large whisky now.
Late lunch will be meat pies (made by the local shop).....maybe a few chips.

Yes, sometimes an old song will pop into your head and instead of digging through a pile of Vinyl / tapes / CD's / ( I think that some older folks on this forum still listen to Wax Disks ) It's easy just to ask Siri / Alexa to play the song 🎶

Well that was a pleasant lunch....washed down with 3 pints of the black stuff.
Back home now and the fencer has been and repaired our other side fence.
Time for an afternoon nap methinks.:okay:
