How'd you manage that!!

Easy, just open the back door and let him out, and when he's finished his business, poo bag at the ready pick up said item and put in bin!

That's the dog emptying itself, not you emptying the dog.

I was born in Shandon House now I think part of the nuclear submarine base on the Gare Loch. From there to various locations but the war years at primary school in Maddison near Falkirk. Then to Helensburgh and latterly Cardross. When I got married new wife and myself moved to Bowling at the west end of the Forth/Clyde canal. In 1972 we jumped to a challenging new job on the Isle of Mull and have been there ever since. My wife is now buried at Tobermory and in due course I will be joining her there.

Love Isle of Mull. Only been twice on bird watching trips but saw lots of it.
I doubt I will be buried anywhere as near as beatiful.
I would though like to be buried face down with my a**e sticking out so cyclists can park thier bikes

Found a very odd fungus - never seen anything like this before. Not one I've seen in the books either.

Most days. I stopped for months. The first one in a long time was Wednesday I think.

We don't eat much anyway because greedy grandsons come along and demolish them all. I usually send them home with some as well. Mr WD is never happy about that.

My Bro and wife are here shortly for a meal.
Starter is hot, coated Camenbert with chilli sauce.
Main is Lasagne with mixed salad plus a few chips.
Then, I noticed there is a sandwich cream cake.
So.....I asked WHY??? as we dont eat cake
The answer was "well I am visiting xyz tomorrow so they can have whats left". Is it me??

Depends what size tyres you will be using.
And how warm you get them.

Left over cake? What is that? Is it similar to left over wine (which I have never encountered either)

Growing in leaf mould at side of track in ancient birch woodland.
