Good morning folks,
Popped into the Barking Cat yesterday afternoon. Some very interesting ales available during their beer festival. I tried a Russian Imperial Stout which was very good and surpassed only by the Plum porter. The Banana milkshake IPA was “ interesting “ it smelled like a sour beer but tasted pleasant enough. Mrs Tenkaykev and I are planning a gentle day today, we need to recover and recharge our batteries.
Stay safe folks 👍

Good morning all, bright and sunny here.
Will be going to the gym this morning but I’ve decided not to volunteer at St Giles this afternoon, too much of a risk.

Back from a 5.4 mile hilly walk. Nice and warm on the way up but, as usual gradually got colder and colder on the descent. Porridge time now 
The sky was gorgeous as the light was appearing but didn't have the phone to grab a pic.

First mortgage 1988, but we were savvy, houses around here were still quite cheap, we got ours just before the late 80's boom (it doubled in value within a year). We worked out how much we could afford and found a house based on that, £17250 with a £1000 deposit. You need more than the full value of our first house now just for the deposit.I do feel sorry for the younger generation trying to get onto the property ladder these days.
Our first house was £3800, a three bed semi, bought in 1968. At that time, I was earning approximately £900pa gross. At present, in the area I live, 3 bed semi for £140,000 is not unusual. So, given todays incomes, not really a lot different. It is very different in south of course. No1 son lives in Windsor, house prices are eye-watering. He has just paid £800,000 for a 4 bed detached, which would be £350,000 max in this area.

Morning folks 
some good weather for a few days 
thinking about heading down the A9 but then im wondering when the likelihood of drunk drivers will be on it, ie office party goers. Not many coppers up here so more people try to getaway with it and that includes phone use....Ive always tried to steer 'luck' my way

Just been reading that work on Runrig The Musical is underway, to be titled “The Stamping Ground”. Due to premiere at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness next summer before a nationwide tour. Hopefully covid will allow us are little trip up to Inverness to see it
That's good news. We watched the musical, " Sunshine on Leith " when we were up in Edinburgh a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Might be an option to walk the Great Glen Way again and finish to coincide with the musical Premiere 🤔Just been reading that work on Runrig The Musical is underway, to be titled “The Stamping Ground”.

Morning all... Going to pop down to a butchers in Highbury to pick up our Christmas meat order, saves all the panicking with shopping next week. Apart from that the usual dog walk.
Enjoy the rest of your day folks!

From my Facebook page this morning, lol.
A woman decided to stop by at her recently married son's house for a quick visit as she was in the neighbourhood.
She rang the doorbell and getting no answer she decided to go in.
As she walked into the front room she was shocked to see her daughter-in-law lying on the couch, totally naked.
Soft music was playing
The aroma of perfume filled the room.
"What are you doing?"
She asked.
"I'm waiting for my husband to come home from work"
The daughter-in-law answered.
"But you're naked!"
The mother-in-law exclaimed.
"No we call this my love dress"
The daughter-in-law explained.
"Love dress?"
"But you're just naked!"
She exclaimed irritably.
"But my husband loves it when I wear my Love Dress"
The young wife explained.
"It always gets him really really excited"
"Trust me - every time he sees me in this dress he instantly becomes incredibly aroused and ravages me for hours on end"
"He simply can't get enough of me"
"You really should try it sometime"
So a little embarrassed the mother-in-law left.
When she got home she reflected on the earlier conversation.
Thinking,
"well why not give it a try?"
She undressed, showered and sprayed her body with her best perfume.
Then she dimmed the lights, put on a romantic CD and lay naked on the couch eagerly awaiting her husband's arrival
Finally, her husband came home.
He walked in and saw her laying there looking as sensuous and provocative as she could.
"What on earth do you think you are doing lying there naked like that?"
He asked her incredulously.
"Why Darling, I'm not naked - this is my Love Dress"
"I'm wearing it just for you"
"Don't you like it? "
She whispered huskily while beckoning him over seductively...
"It Needs ironing"
He said....
