Our postman just delivered a letter.
Are we sure it's Sunday? 🤔

Wheeeee, Olympic & Paralympic cyclists in the parade!

Thank you. I will get to work on that.

Make sure you do, your posts are essential to this forum.

And lots more cyclists!!! One of my cat show friends and her OH are in that part on their pre-war roadsters

The deer, foxes, and adders, also ravens are in the field at the end of my garden. I have only seen a baby adder, so I assume the bigger ones are hidden in the long grass at the edge of the field. It is an absolutely enormouse field, full of beans.

Ravens are extremely noisy birds.

We used to be overrun with ravens and there was great competition for nest sites. My wildlife pal pointed out one which was just by the roadside on a small cliff face which was unusual. They were not popular with farmers as they were a danger to newborn lambs and the ewes as well. Since the upsurge of sea eagles there are not so many now and they tend to shun humanity.
There are adders on Mull but none on Iona since St Columba banished them.
A dead fox was found by the roadside once but my pal reckoned somebody had killed it on the mainland and left it there to wind him up as he was head Ranger.

About two minutes ago you may have heard a large explosion from the direction of south Germany.

Do not be alarmed: I just sneezed.

I've heard the Black Forest is now a copse.

Real ones?

I thought it was a gateau!

I really like that plan. If the apartment situation doesn't improve I may even try it...

Would it work in Germany?

 

[mybike]

Sounds dangerously like that imperialist western science to me. You'll be claiming washing my bike doesn't cause rain next.

Depends on whether you use marmite.

Would it work in Germany?

Possibly; it may work long enough, ie until I find a decent apartment. Unfortunately that would mean a large financial outlay for a fairly short period of use.

 

[Andy in Germany]

We have thunder.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Now it's raining.
