Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. I hope you all have a great day.
Do check back to last week's chat for OG's gorgeous wildflower garden pics And Lynette's pics of Dunedin & Hampton eaglets.
Linda - I love your pics of Tatton Park, especially autumn.
Alan -24 handbags!!!! Must be related to our Dau#2 who collects shoes & handbags. Me, I have one all-purpose go-everywhere shoulder bag. Plus the gold one OH gave me decades ago and saw the light of day at the weddings.
Brenda, Linda, Lynette, Joan, OG - On my first trip o/s I had a list of what to take. It helps remind me not to forget vital things like eye drops, film (nowadays it is memory cards & battery charger!). When I returned I noted what I didn’t use and now I check the amended list, pruning every trip. Why drag excess around? Invariably my room in B&Bs was on 2nd or3 rd floor. Besides I may buy things, such as jumpers - that’s my weakness. Stupid really because I knit them and the wardrobe is bursting. So, OG, I shall choose one of them. And camera almost lives in said all-purpose bag!
Joan - I heard a story of a local teacher who had 7 children in her class named "Amy" but all spelled differently.
Hazel b said: I have looked into this "Favouites" again. It seems to be very hit and miss but this is what I have found. At the bottom of some pages there in addition to the RSS feed there is a link called <add as a favourite> or something to that effect. If you click this it shows up on the favourites menu on your main page. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason as to what pages have the command. However the "Wildlife on the web" section has such a button. I think it was this erratic behaviour that has put me off the feature. Does anyone use the RSS feeds? I cannot say I have done so habitually.

I tried the RSS feeds and it is overwhelming. The number of emails that come in are more than I could keep up with . Unless I did something wrong

Lol!!! I am a lurker, as I do not have all the wonderful knowledge that so many of you willingly post ,but never the less, it is avidly read and appreciated.
Re the RSS I just clicked the link and have it sitting in my bookmarks and just visit it daily or whenever I am online.I do not receive any notifications, so do not become overwhelmed with e. mails or whatever.
Also I notice the Goshawk Feed is not being used...Unless I am not doing something Lol!!!

Kate2 It is alaways great to hear from "lurkers" I am glad that people do come to read our musings each day.
Also posting is so much more fun than lurking.
Barbara Jean I almost never use e-mail notification. It produced too much noise.

A new router arrived this morning, and OH is booting me off the internet to set it up, but before then... Happy Friday 13th May, stay safe :)) Just joking, I'm not superstitious. But more important Happy Anniversary Margobird and the OH!! Have a super day.

BETTYBOO also lived in Fife, at Leuchars 85 -88 when OH was in the RAF. Used to walk our first Goldie on the Old Course on a Sunday and he really embarrassed us once by deciding to have a swim in the Duck Pond in front of the Old Course Restaurant. we usually had him back on the lead by that time so it was our fault!!!!! Also enjoyed St Andrews beach and Kinshaldy. Yes, the Black Isle is scenic. Must go, washing machine is beeping.
Morning, Everyone. Sunny here, but still a little chilly. Hope to get something done in the garden today.
Agree with Annette, that its becoming almost impossible to keep up with the posts - I shall attempt to reply to some of them later, but please forgive me if I miss you out - its not because I don't care but I am just in Overload when I have so much going on at home, as well!
Happy Anniversary, margobird! - Hope you have an enjoyable day, and that you are now ready for your holiday soon. And give Billie a hug from me!
I'm feeling a lot better, thank you to those concerned about me but I think I have this thing licked now. I have been extremely lucky to have good health for most of my life until now, but now Old Age is knocking at the door, and I suppose I have to have some ailments to talk about to my friends. On a more serious note, my Friend has been to see her specialist and is going to have radiotherapy but has refused the dreaded chemotherapy, as he does not think there is a lot to be gained by this - his prognosis is quite good, and she is determined to enjoy all her years left, which of course I hope will be many. She is thrilled that she is going to be able to take a cruise which was booked many months ago, before she was diagnosed, so is going to be packing for that in July.
Have a good Friday, Everyone! ( my Mother always thought that 13 was a lucky number, so I have no fears of it)
ps. Lovely to hear from Kate2 - don't be shy! - I knew about as much about Ospreys as you could put on a pin head when I started on here! No one will laugh at any questions you have, or at your lack of knowledge. Just jump in and join in.
Happy Anniversary Margobird
Good news for Buzzards, Kestrels etc – and Owls if they manage to reproduce this year:
Voles
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
