Morning all

Not that far, although Loch Earn is closer. Often cycle a loop round it.

I guess you will not be swimming in that one today either, that map brought back great memories, we have stayed in the Killin Hotel a couple of times and have visited Crieff, it rained if I remember correctly and do not remember seeing you.

A belated good morning fellow retirees.
Another sunny day with quite a stiff breeze. We have a Bay Tree in the garden that is running rampant at the moment. I've been reluctant to tidy it up while Mr and Mrs Robin are in residence, they seem to have departed for pastures new so I'll give it a quick trim to make it more presentable for them.
I was first on the Turbo this morning. Finished just short of Carlisle so tomorrow should see me crossing the border into Mo's fiefdom.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks ☀

At the risk of sounding like Classic, do you also have a long bike?

Duly noted, for use at a later date.

Don't worry he's got everybody doing that.

Noted!

I'll not be asking what it is everybody is doing though.

Just back from my walk down to the village and back.
Rumour has it that our local beach car park is opening this weekend. Will be nice to walk the doggie there again; she's missing her dip in the sea.

Luckily we have plenty of space to season wood.

Alot doesn't need seasoning as it's been on the ground for a while. That goes in one store . The wood that does need seasoning goes in another store. Alas third store is mixed but won't be using for at least a year so should be okay. I only collect the best type of wood, far superior to any other type of wood.....free wood

We've been for a walk round the local streets this morning, my Good Ladies wheelchair is a folding one and feels flimsy, the frame flexes and moves around when its being pushed over rough pavements. We have the fence man coming round this afternoon.

I am off out for a walk.....maybe a couple of miles.
MrsD has crashed out and is fast asleep. It is hard work doing nothing

G'day...By'eck that wind was rather sharp while walking the whippet, should have put my flat cap on . Might be an afternoon of a bit of art from the bbc/arts program, and a bit of Ukulele practice.

Just messaged my local brewery to pick up a couple of cases tomorrow morning.

Which brewery is that? I have had several deliveries from local and not so local ones.

GT Ales at Chivenor - just a couple of miles from me.
Gary always does me a good deal.

I am micro cleaning the ensuite.

Back from my walk. Just 2.2 miles with a bit of shopping thrown in.
Like GM I was shocked at how cold the wind was although it warmed up part way through.
