Clare - that's one cute kitten. Wish I could give her a home ... but glad to hear someone else is able to do so.
Clare: That kitten is adorable. Glad someone is taking her in.
Have just flagged one of my own posts, as "abuse", as I was scrolling the page -- doh!
Off to sleep now, another busy day tomorrow.
Good Morning, All. A bright strip of red on the horizon this morning, as the sun comes up.
Just been reading Annette's Mountain Lion link. Fascinating, and a real dilemma for farmers with livestock.
Today's pic:
Aren't they just gorgeous.
Could any computer experts here answer this question - my broadband here in Inverness is incredibly slow in the mornings around 0830 for maybe an hour. Is this because loads of folk are logging on and the system can't cope? I don't seem to be able to access 'larger' websites at this time. Or could it be that the websites themselves are overcrowded?
Heather....I'm certainly no expert but I'd guess it is down to overall demand as you suggest.
Birdies LG DU update.
I wouldn't class myself as a 'computer expert', Heather, but I think both your explanations are probably at least a part of the reason. Mine slows down in the early evening, probably for the same reasons. If anyone out there who is a proper 'expert', perhaps they have a more technical explanation?
I'm no expert - I just assume that computers and everything related to them are naturally perverse, with a very warped sense of humour.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
