Typical West Highland morning. No wind so probably lots of midges and suitably damp. I do not plan to go out soon to check but will have to sometime to go dig some tatties up.
 
I swatted a rather large spider on our bedroom curtains this morning.
A bit of a dilemma followed..
MrsPete is an arachnophobe and it dropped into her handbag 😂 Errrrrr, I mean 😢
Do I tell her? Rummage through her handbag? (I never go through her handbag!!) Or take it downstairs and tell her about the dead arachnid lurking within? 🤔
Tut tut.

You should never let it slip that you’ve even squashed a thunderbug on this lefty, vegan, tree-hugging moralistic forum, let alone a spider.

You need the Fly Fishing, Crossbow Hunters or Hot Rodders forums. :whistle:

By the way, I wouldn’t tell her.
 
Doorbell just rang, it's a friend/daughter of landlady asking for help moving two 1000 litre water containers for use as rainwater collection.

During this operation Landlady reports that I may have been adopted by a cat: apparently it used to belong to someone living here and has been seen/heard trying to get into the apartment in recent days. I've been leaving water out for the dog, so maybe the cat has noticed too. We shall see.

In other news I realised while hauling water tanks that it is unspeakably hot so I think I'll forgo riding today and do something achievable in the shade instead...

Encouraged by this newly discovered ability to stand up and walk around at a snail's pace, I'm now going to try a cup of coffee.

I must have missed something? but I know the feeling well, especially as you're trying to hold yourself so you don't hurt yourself, but hurt yourself more because of how tight you've tightened your muscles.
I thought I mentioned it on Friday but perhaps not. I put my back out while putting a fresh bin liner into my kitchen pedal bin and spent the following 24 hours virtually immobile and in bad pain. It's now easing off, thank goodness and paracetamol.

I have found Ibuprofen have a better effect for me, they seem relax the muscles better, I normally don't take them for headaches or anything as they don't seem to give me any pain relief but they are certainly working on the back.
 
I've reorganised the veranda, now I have a breakfast table:

And a sitting area:

It's ´Country Living' heaven here, I tell you.

I just looked at the sell/use by date of my Ibuprofen and they're a year or so out of date and I'm not in fit state to go out and buy any more. Let's hope it was a good vintage....
