Morning all

It's blowing around 45 mph out there, so I think I'll give the beach a miss this morning. Not nice being sandblasted!

Morning. It started to rain at 7 pm last night and it's still very wet her and breezy, just like a winter day.

Talking about middle isles, I went Into liddl in Newtown once and for some unknown reason they had Kilts for sale.

Stay safe folks.

Peanut butter and sliced banana on toast for brekkie, not sure where Pam has come up with that one from, I am guessing we have too many bananas in stock.

I haven't been awake long and this is the first thing I read.........😄

What! Food of the Gods. The only improvement I'd make is to spread Marmite on the toast.
Toast > Butter > Marmite > Peanut Butter ( 100% peanut, no Palm oil or added salt, crunchy) > sliced banana.

Morning all.
Heavy rain all night but none forecast today. Mind you, there was none forecast for yesterday and it lashed down.
Front garden is full of standing water.
AND we have a leak !!! Looks like a seal in the window. Its 27 years old so owes us nothing but I doubt I can get new seals fitted
In other news.........
We have to collect the aunty's hearing aid, take it to the NHS place in the hospital for (hopefully) a simple re-set. Takes 2 as the parking is dreadful so I will drop MrsD off then find a street to park in. All good fun.

Good day. It's wet and cold, not a good start made worse by the discussion on appalling breakfast tastes. I shall have a nourishing bowl of porridge shortly.

Went to bed at 10.20 last night and didn't wake till 7.20. Excellent. I was very tired and fed up, depressed to be honest, to the extent I'd decided to stop riding for a while. Think I must have overdone things recently. The problem is finding the motivation to do anything else and I keep getting this vision of there being nothing left to do. Feeling better this morning but not really myself. Feckin' virus. Anyway this morning, 9.00am, I'm doing a video interview as part of a general promotion for my financial advisor and her firm. Very happy to do this as she has been such a good friend and advisor to me over the last 15 years.

I guess many of you have looked at Flightradar.org or the like, I just looked at shipradar, wow! who knew there were so many out there.

Bore da pawb. Dry and breezy here.
Marmite. mmmmmm my favourite

I just looked at shipradar, wow!

Living near a port I use a ship tracking app. You’re right, you wouldn’t believe how much sea traffic there is.

It's a real eye opener. During the early stages of the pandemic there were all sorts of bottlenecks with onshore warehousing and storage so some of the cargo ships were being asked to slow down or take a more circuitous route. Apparently in some instances it was cheaper to keep the cargo on the vessels than to offload it.

Morning all, a bright and still start here, forecast is for showers and breeziness later. Planning on a walk from the cottage today. Perhaps a visit to the metropolis of Dingwall later for a supermarket shop.

Its raining again. Im beginning to think that waterworld was a documentary.
