Forgot to say, have a great day out, OG!
OG - Must have crossed posts with you. Have a good time tomorrow. Hope your bp settles.
Heather - If they're coming via Royal Mail, I find them very unpredictable with deliveries these days. We've had a horrible showery day here, and I've had the heating on and off several times. Got my ironing done, though!
Heather – I’ll take your rain. I love cold & wet. BTW our weather isn’t “incredibly high” yet, wait until daytime reaches 40s and the house doesn’t cool overnight. Lately the nights are down to 25 C and we can sleep.
.
Food shop this morn – menu says lots of salads to OH’s dismay! Nanny duty this arvo; I shall discourage Twins from playing/racing around outside.
Good Morning, All. Damp and grey here. Those temps would leave me like a wet flannel, AQ.
Hoping to go to the cinema this afternoon, but need some shopping so an early lunch is in order so that I can rush about before meeting my Friend.
Today's pic:
Cat yoga!
It might have stopped raining, but Benson still wasn't up or a morning walk!!!. He is more likely to go if we both go, but that isn't always possible. I am still in my dressing gown, prior to putting on my cossie under day clothes and going for a swim. Oh well, there's nowt as strange as Benson!!!!
Good morning, all. How sad to read that David Cassidy has died - my older sister was a huge fan of his years ago and he had such a lovely voice. Check out one of his best songs here.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Mornings are getting so dark now, especially with the current wet weather - Starlings are coming a whole hour later for breakfast than they were last week! Looks like we may have a wet journey to Langholm later, although rain has abated for a while here.
HEATHER - hope your parcels arrive today, and that you can find something to do while you wait! I personally would have a flinging session, but I know you are more of a hoarder - maybe just tidy a drawer or three?
AQ - pleased the night temps are allowing some sleep; must be difficult preventing little ones overheating!
LINDA - enjoy the film!
DIBNLIB - sounds like Benson is turning into a simply lazy dog - so much rain that he is getting used to inactivity!
A few things to do before we prepare to go out. First time I've been out for nearly two weeks - after a big flurry of appointments earlier in the month.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Thanks for the clip, Clare - that is a lovely song. He certainly made a few hearts flutter all those years ago. Very sad that he had a long illness.
OG: As I said yesterday, enjoy your day out. :-)
Dibnlib: Benson is so funny!!
Its wet and horrible here, but at least I can go shopping by flitting from shop to shop in the shopping centre I'm going to.
There's been a new Blog by Jess at Abernethy Forest, its a good read.
Here are a few more of my holiday pics, whilst I drink my elevenses:
Don't think I posted this one... now I forget. After we drove away from the big square in the centre of Lisbon, I kept on snapping. These buildings clad with the beautiful ceramic tiles always catch my eye.
We got caught in the inevitable traffic jams in cities these days, but it was a chance to admire the architecture: this is an important building, some sort of residence of the local Bigwig, and I loved the ornate balconies.
Our guide, who was excellent, said "Look to your left when we come to the next corner, and I'll get the driver to slow down so that you can see these elegant arches along the next building" - I was lucky enough to be sitting on the left hand side of the coach so got this snap.
This was the most annoying of things: She said that we were going past the earliest example of a lift, installed in a building of only two stories. I was on the wrong side of the coach this time, and to add to that, there was safety writing on the glass of the window, which obscured our view: I only had time for one snap of the famous building, but its those arches behind the red writing, LOL!!
