From my memories on facebook this morning.

Good morning all, damp and grey here.
Welcome back @Drago, you have my best wishes.

I thought PaulSB said he was ironing his beans. Bloomin heck. Must actually read what I am looking at.

Morning fellow dossers. Looks like today might be a decent day once the mist dissipates. Wow a big word from me.

I watched that new series on Amazon yesterday 'Nine perfect strangers'. A bit odd but intriguing (yet another big word) at the same time.

Stay safe peeps.

Morning all

Beach walk with the little furry git first thing, then Sunday lunch booked at the Crown.
Cropped a few carrots yesterday, and I must say that I'm chuffed with how well they've turned out this year (I planted a different variety).
Will be planting the same variety for next year.

Don't sweat it...although I wasn't aware that I had anything cc related to sulk about!

I was nursing my dying dog, checking on him throughout the day and night. No tv, internet, best I managed was reading a book or magazine while he slept with his head in my lap.

His abdomen started to swell and the vet advised the tumour was bleeding and filling it with blood, leaving him anaemic and struggling to breathe. That's when I made the decision to end his pain and send him to Rainbow Bridge.

I'm still grieving, but now have more time and can start resuming my normal routine, albeit without any dog walking.

Sorry about your dog Good to see you back

Highway to Hell. @dave r. Excellent. Pinched that and it'll be on my FB soon. 😂

So. Couple of disgusting cupboards cleaned out. Fridge cleaned. Washing done and dried. General tidying done. Club admin next. Hoovering after that provided Mrs P is awake. 🤔

As the Pharisees would have said....."oh sh*t, look out, he's come back again"

Watching the shinty on telly yesterday prompted another pang of longing for the Highlands. Perhaps one day we’ll find the confidence to move up there, in the meantime we’ll just have to make do with holiday stays. But perhaps one day.

Well, my place oop north is now in the wifes name, and is now being sold to the tenant. I'll be 150k richer when its done.

Morning folks I really enjoyed my ride yesterday [18m] my legs arent complaining as much and im finding the view from the saddle is excellent for observing wildlife and the changing season. Those big green dragonflies were zipping about and one hit my hat! the Rowan berries are ripening and soon there will be big flocks of red wings and fieldfares. I surprise deer a lot by my silent approach and a couple of weeks ago i almost ran over a weasel as it ran across the road! Due to the NC500 many locals arent travelling [by car] as its not the pleasure it once was but cycling local is enjoyable and theres lots to explore.

Who used to watch this? It used to be a favourite of my Dad, it came on just after he got home from work and just before the news.

It's over 55 years since The Magic Roundabout first aired.
