From my Facebook page this morning, Lol.

Good morning all, damp and dismal here. I thought I’d misread the clock when I woke up, it was so dark.
Nothing on the cards for today, just a trip to the gym this morning.

Morning folks I love this time of year its achingly beautiful. The tourist are thinning out now and that used to be my cue for driving to Cromarty pier and fishing for late season mackerel. Wang a float out as far as possible and fish deep about 20ft...and damn its a buzz when the float shoots under! I'd only take 2 or 3 and me and the dog would have mackerel for tea...a perfect day out!

Wonderful place, Cromarty. Often features in Ian Rankin’s Twitter posts.

Wet wander done. Goretex boots and OMM jacket required. I just let the legs get damp as it was too warm for overtrousers as well.

I will enjoy the second part of Silent Witness tonight with her that nobody can spell in it!

Morning all, like a lot of places, it's raining
A bit of a sleep in, didn't wake up until 8.30.
Today's highlights are a bimble to the local grocers for some fruit, and call in at the barbers for a haircut.
This of course after a damp walk with the dog across the fields.
Then I suppose there will be some domestics to do.
I managed to cut the grass yesterday afternoon knowing today was going to bet a bit wet.
Another busy day in paradise.

Sun's out here.

Much the same here.
Woke (for a pee) and it was dark. Amazed to find it was 06.30.
Rain in for the day.
Edit
Classic........I don't mean my pee was dark

Yes, here too. I woke and wasn't sure if I was imagining the sound of the boiler which comes on at 6:00AM. It's almost as though someone has thrown a switch. On a lighter note our daughter sent a photo of our Granddaughter in her school uniform an her way to her first day at school. She's only just 4, so will be the youngest in her class. Her school bag was almost as big as her!

Aldi dash done.
@welsh dragon ......a few more recommendations
1. Baking potatoes. I would like support the local farm shop but they charge ONE POUND each......Aldi... 15 pence and theh are good.
2. Packets of dry flavoured noodles. 22p.
3. Magnum washing up liquid. Very concentrated ......68p
.
I also notice the following cleaner......a bad choice of names me thinks....

Would love to see the photo but realise you may not want to post it for the public to see.

That's not true!
I'd never heard of her, having never watched Silent Witness.

Bonjour tout le monde. Well, I did find something to watch on Youtube last night. I don't know if any of you have heard of a very famous French actor who died at the age of 88 last week ? Anyway, I watched one of his films from the 70s. His name was Jean Paul Belmondo. He did a lot of action films and always did all his own stunts.
He was buried last Friday with full national honours and Macron was there.
This morning, we are invited for coffee and then I will go for a ride in the afternoon as the weather is sunny so far.
A tout a l'heure.
