Morning .
Could you please tone down the news a bit . I think I may be getting a bit too excited as my blood pressure is up . I have contacted my cardiologist and am waiting to hear back from the doctors .
Thanks .
You can carry on now . :whistle:
We sometimes get whatever replaced the Nimrods passing low overhead just above roof level. I was driving up from the ferry one day and one was nearly alongside me over the water to my right. That is only one of close encounters and they usually travel in pairs. Never heard them after dark tho'.
I thought they were using Hercs as they hadn't decided on a replacement . Whatever they choose won't be as good as the Nimrod .
 
Bright and sunny here chez Casa Reynard, and chilly where not protected from the breeze.

I have had a kitchen morning and cooked half of that pack of sausages. They'll do nicely for sandwiches. The other half of that pack is in the crock pot with a load of onions and a few other gubbins. I think sausages might be on the menu this week. :laugh:

It is almost time for luncheon. Which will involve... sausages...

I'm just back from the shop and your post reminds me that I've forgotten to get Bockwurst.

yeah when I buy them, it's a whole PKG. my Daughter will eat some if I make a meal w/ them but then the rest go into me. I don't ever ask the butcher for just 2 or 4 but I should. I may have shared this previously, my favorite is hot Italian sausage grilled over charcoal, 2nd favorite is roasted w/ peppers, onions, garlic & a drizzle of olive oil, served on a sub roll

Did they not build replacements for the Nimrod but then scrapped them before going into service and then buying in something from America which was not as good?
I read a book about MOD purchasing and it seems about par for the course. The incompetence was mind boggling.

Nice run this morning with ice on the shallow parts of the loch and by the roadsides. Road well salted but dry so no spray to cause damage to bike bits.
Lots of vapour trails all going south. More than usual I think. We are on a Great Circle route. World getting uneasy?
More traffic than expected all heading out to the west. Some local ones on business even on a Sunday.
One person just came down from climbing the volcano { got a long and convoluted gaelic name} who I recognised as local. She must be at least as old as me if not older and doing something which is now beyond me.:ohmy:
The campsite was about 30% occupied when I passed. This only the first week in March so I dread the coming summer.

They're probably avoiding flying over Russia

Knackered. I can cycle for ages without getting tired but other things around the house exhaust me very quickly.
Decided to check my bike tyres which of course lose pressure when doing nothing. The Brompton was at the back so had to shift the Bike Friday and GTech ebike out first.
There was an ottoman which is not now needed and when I looked inside found unused camping gear and assorted bike gear. Cleared that out into cardboard boxes to make it more accessible for future sorting and then decided to donate the ottoman to the charity shop. Hefted that down to the car where a passerby helped to get it down the steps to the roadway. Off to the donation point and now back but the bike tyres I started with have not been done.:rolleyes:
Wind is getting up and looking out the fish farm boys are enjoying a rough ride back home in their RIBs. The Diorlinn has dried out so they have to take the long route round Calve Island.
