Todays news
Still no smilies.
Been to Aldi. Decided to try some Ostrich burgers.....not cheap so hope they are good.
Blue bin has been emptied. Interesting as the guy opposite left a plastic bag full of stuff next to his bin......sure enough that is still there.......no chance of them taking that.

Its cold, and I think it will be another slobbing day for me.

I binge watched Three Pines on Amazon. Twas very good. I hope there will be 2nd series.

Lovely 6.6 mile walk done on a route I haven't done for over a year. Really enjoyed it and a cracking morning up here.


I wasn't tempted to jump in the funny little boat!

Why not, take the short cut over the water.

I have only done one side of the loch but you can go all the way round. I'll do that another day.

That's just beautiful Mo, Just back from a 5k run with Mrs Tenkaykev and a friend. Mrs Tenkaykev did a short detour loop to test out her new trail shoes and saw a Stoat with white coat. That's reassuring as I saw a Stoat " on the turn " a year or so ago. When I told my wildlife friend she said I had probably mis identified another creature.
Oh, and by the way, I think the vehicle probably belongs to Accy cyclist 😉

I know there are otters in there but no luck today. Just some Mallards, Moorhens, Swans and a Cormorant. I'll go right round next time and it will look different from the other side. Amazing what we have just a couple of miles from the town.

Some years ago we stayed in the Lakes. We took a boat ride to the far end of one lake so as to walk back.
We had all the right gear and food......we just totally misjudged the distance.
It was a close run thing as it was getting dark as we got back.....a bit scary.

And the old joke is......
What's the difference between a cormorant and a shag ??

Its turned into a lovely day here. Blue skies and sunshine and warmth coming from the porch Into the living room so that's welcome.

Mr WD is gossiping with the next door neighbour so he could be some time. 😆

No idea what we are having to eat today.

We're having posh sandwiches in M & S, we've just brought some toys for the grandson.

One’s a bird and the other’s a pipe tobacco?

You can't smoke a cormorant.

I never said it funny.😃
