Good morning all fellow retirees.
A bit of a nothing day today.
Although, MrsP is up for an award from the BVNA,( British veterinary nursing association )
For services during the pandemic lockdown for working at the rehoming charity throughout. She was nominated by one of her ex trainees from 35 years ago. It's all happening on Zoom this evening. 🍾
Other than that, ther will be the usual eclectic mix of dog walking, a bit of bike riding, a bit of tidying up the garden, the tomato plants have been stripped of the last few green tomatoes, so just a bit of pottering.
Another day in paradise beckons

Well done MrsP and good luck for this evening 🥂

Morning all, another damp day today. An easy walk somewhere local on the cards.
Looking at Strava today showed just how close we were to the west coast yesterday, you forget how narrow Scotland is up here.

Are Park Runs started up or was it just something you were doing on your own? Looks a lovely morning for it.

Funny you should talk about cobwebs. I was saying to Mo thay I have never seen to many cobwebs and spiders. I just blitzed the living room of cobwebs. Now off to fight the good fight in the rest of the house.

I am going now. I maybe some time.

Poor things. Leave them alone. Lol.

Which one did you buy? I'm still contemplating this.

Not sure as I am out at the moment £29.95 on Amazon, very pleased with it though as we can certainly feel the difference.

Wet, cold and windy. May improve later but the front garden may have to wait for another day to get sorted.
One of my neighbours has got a bidy in who is a fanatical gardener and spent days working in their small front garden. Now the only colour and a decent display is in my garden with a totally lazy gardener. Minor triumph.

Enough about yourself, what about the weather?

The Giro isn’t looking good, Yates has tested covid +ve. The question now is who else ?

I'm sat in the Willoughby cafe with a sausage sandwich and a coffee, its been a cold hard ride down, crossing Grandborough fields I passed a farm with a huge flock of Turkeys running around

Have you been down the Braan Estate path yet? Takes you down to the river Conon eventually.

Just ordered flowers for my mummies birthday. Crikey, the cheapest bouquet is £30 plus £7 delivery.

They had a bouquet that costs a whopping £200 . I did not order that one.

@Paulus - Congratulations to Mrs P. 👏

Why I don't know but I have just remembered Paulus was my nickname at school.
