Morning all: Happy new week.
MARGO: Welcome back!! :-))
Wendy: Thanks for keeping us up to date on Margo's Big Adventure.
dibnlib: How nice to bump into Margo et al.
Lindybird: Yes, June Gloom highly predictable; if you know of anyone planning to come to California in June, tell them not to expect beach weather, but can be pretty hot away from the coast. Re new dark countertops that don't show dirt, have been horrified to find globs of dried up sticky stuff on ours; now have to bend over and catch the light on the surface to see what needs to be scrubbed.
Diane: Only four feet from a deer? Wow. Pretty impressive, especially after looking at the pix! Maybe whistle a happy tune or put bells on your shoes next time?
Jay-Me: Vacation time sounds nice and relaxing!
Lynette: Thanks for clarifying which part of you is hurting! :-) Nice that all your furniture is finally set up; now enjoy it.
OK, off to fix dinner; back later.
Afternoon all,
JSB: Glad you have resolved your problem with Scottish Powers email. I am also a customer of them.
Terry: Very sorry to hear about your OHs mother.
LInda : Very strange bear on a pole at the country park. I can see Buzz enjoys the water. Hamish hates it and I have never seen him swimming.
Everyone else thanks for the chat etc.
This morning we went on a shopping mission to Sainsburys this time. Just to surprise them and keep them on their toes. Came home and had some lunch and just managed to take Hamish on a walk before the rain started. Settling down to watch the tennis and the ospreys now as it is pouring down.
Patriciat: I just read the news from Northern Ireland. I hope you're safe where you live. I'm not sure how far you are from east Belfast. Take care!

Yes I read that. Gordon Buchanan's "The Bear Family and Me" was on BBC 4 on Monday night. Still available to watch. Gripping stuff.
Tiger Signature
Afternoon all ... not been around much the last couple of days ... I got a new toy and I've been playing with it! I treated myself to a new camera and I'm trying to get used to it :-))
OG - glad to hear you got your injection ... I hope that does the trick for you. Lovely photograph of the oystercatcher ... we have lots of them round here, but I've never seen one on a building!
Tiger - those puppies were gorgeous ... I'd want the one in the foreground ... but not at £900!!
HeatherB - thanks for the info about margobird and her computer - I hope they both make a swift recovery.
Alan - what beautiful photos of the baby wagtail ... so fluffy looking. Shame you keep missing the butterflies ... maybe one day soon.
TerryM - don't bank on doing your HW when you eventually retire! I mistakenly thought when I was lucky enough to take early retirement, that I would have an immaculate house .... WRONG ... there are so many much more interesting things to do :-))) Sorry to hear about your OH's mother.
Osprey - how wonderful to see an osprey so near where you live ... lucky you!
Thanks to everyone for chat etc.
Take care.
Joan - avid bird and nature watcher in Northumberland!

Very nice Tiger. Is that your new avatar? :)
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
Here is a picture of the dog (Opal) who is going to get a shock on Sunday when her baby step sister arrives.
Lovely picture T. I hope they get on fine and Opal hasn't read up on the size of BMDs! :)
BTW is the new pup female or male? I hope female!
ChloeB The new pup is female and is to be called Poppy I believe.
