Start overcast which was good as very warm and now sunny. Nice trike run around Loch Creran and when back at Creagan Bridge went up the cycle path on to the old railway line just to see if I could. An awkward turn over the A828 at a roundabout but a cyclist appeared and a motorhome stopped and waited for us to cross. Mebbe they thought he was my minder.
Anyway I cycled up it even tho’ I was prepared to bail if need be. Steeeep.
Now back at base for lunch. Grandads room is getting a new carpet tomorrow so I have to get my stuff out for the day.
The ensuite is now my storage space till they have finished.
The pic is on the original main A828 which I remember using to travel north not that long ago. Loch Creran is the watery bit. A brave or foolish fellow on his own set out in an inflatable canoe against a severe headwind.

Gorgeous. Wouldn’t mind sitting there right now.


I can hear sirens again today. Heard a few yesterday too, although haven’t heard of any accidents so not sure where they're going.

While scouting out possible camping sites for my Vardo with my neighbor I jokingly referred to some nearby cattle as "black elk" but he told me the correct term is "slow elk". I mused that we could score one with my bow and arrow and there would be no noise to alert a nearby rancher.
He said that might be unwise because cattle rustling is still a capital offense in Wyoming, but the Legislature had just passed a law making bestiality a crime.
It is a gorgeous day here in Wyoming, where the men are men, the women are women, and the sheep may be a little less nervous .
Be safe and well.

Went out for my run this morning quite early ( but not Mo early, I’m not that keen) 😄 Unfortunately the legs weren’t cooperating so I ended up walking a fair bit. Overcast at the moment but hopefully it will clear up before we head to the park. Feed the ducks, play on the swings, watch the cricket 👍

You can't leave it there!
What about the rest of the story?

Too hot for me just now at N. Connel where we are sheltered but up there the wind was surprisingly strong but good to cycle out against it with a push back. I did sit there in my mobile armchair for while and had lunch. Main traffic was cyclists obviously trying to better their times round the loch.
The sirens could be fire engines with the dry weather and bbqs setting fire to vegetation.
