Weekly Chat, Sunday February 6, 2011

LINDY   i had told Wendy I would be wearing a green gilet but as she said, she had her spies out and had checked in the gym to see if the lady with the limp was me.

Dogwalking in the woods I found a very wet £10. If it had been a wallet I would have handed it in to police. Anyway Ikept it and it dried out perfectly.    Talking of wet £ notes, a friend had £500 in notes in jacket pocket. She decided to wash jacket and after setting w/m going remembered what was in the pocket. Sat up waiting for machine to finish and dried the notes on radiator. She did take them to the bank and told them story just in case the notes were not usable, but they were ok.   Phew!!!!     

Hi just taken this of the hampton eagles

AUNTIE  Those white tailed eagles really made me smile. Their expressions are priceless.

WENDY   Hope Daisy May makes more use of her bed than Dillon does. As far as he is concerned his nice comfy bed is for stepping over to get to the spare double bed which he considers to be his sleeping place.

Thanks for the captures ALICAT they said on the blog yesterday they were expecting snow and it looks as though they have had quite a lot.  Feel so sorry for her but she is diligently keeping those eggs warm.

Snap Alicat. I have just taken one at Hampton eagles. There may be a 3rd egg there but it looks like we may have to wait some time for it to be confirmed:

Hi a couple of shots of bea and jay just taken them

Hello to all

I have been - like others - lurking recently!  Kindest thoughts to Margo regarding her sister. I have enjoyed following the chat from you all, even if not posting, I still feel a part of this community. As I have said before, I am not as 'into'  flora, fauna and domestic pets as most of you, but have an abiding interest in the LG ospreys. Believe it or not I have never been to LG even though we live quite near. There is hope for me yet! I am a townie, married to a countryman, who has been trying for many years to get me into his world!!

Annette - yes BC's are incredibly intelligent.  We send ours off round the house to fetch a named toy and she will usually search and return with the right one to a round of applause.  She always looks very proud. Equally though knowing words is sometimes not such a good thing as she has what can only be described as an irrational dislike of some words and runs away - sausages, TV, fireworks the word not just the things themselves to name but a few.

Wendyb  Daisy May looks very pleased with her new bed.

HeatherB  just give in and go for it.  If I lived near LG I'd always be out and about enjoying the countryside.

Gary  yes everything to do with horses is certainly very expensive!

Afternoon all just back from our afternoon walk and although it was chilly with the sun shining it made a pleasant time out. From one point in our walk I was able to look out over the Forth which was dead calm and there was a boat going down the river and you could see its wake. I was also able to see right over to Arthurs Seat and the Pentland  Hills and right down the river to the Bass Rock which made it a very pleasant walk indeed.

Diesel is settling down well and in the morning he wont move until I get up which makes me think he is happy enough here. He is still frightened of the camera so will just have to take it slowly and try to get him to accept it.

Glad to see that those with ailments are getting better and that the Tiso meeting went well and it is amazing how time passes when one is having a good chat. Last Friday I had a night at my cousins when the four of us meet for a meal and a chat and it ended that I didn't get home till  2am but a good night was had by all. 

Hope everyone keeps well
