Did it come on when you plugged it in?

No, the two round pin plug on it will not fit the new fangled socket on the wall.

Morning. I was also up before 5. Just back from a 3.7 mile shuffle. I wanted to get the Garmin Weekend 5K badge

It’s very misty here at the moment. Looks like a repeat of yesterday with rain by the afternoon.

Morning all. Have a free on me.
Chill day (chilly).....my legs aren't working yet.
When I bought my new furniture (which is really comfy) they tried to sell me what they called gliders to make it easier to move around. They wanted £20+ for them......I declined.
When the 2 guys delivered the sofa I mentioned that. One guy went to the van and came back with a load of of them....foc......Nice one.

Morning all, I am giving serious consideration to getting out of bed at the moment. Nothing planned for the day, I really should get out and buy some clothes but that may be out off again, the only things I have that fit are ties, socks and shoes, weight loss is going to be expensive. 90% chance of rain today, it is going to be a short summer of we get one.

Enjoy your day.

@screenman re scopes.
I used to do a lot of bird watching.
Best sized scopes are understood to have an 80mm front lens with variable magnification of 20x to 60x.
A tripod is imo essential.
It's worth spashing the cash as the better ones have far better 'light gathering' .
Until I got ill I had an expensive Opticron. I let my brother have it.
A mate of mine who is a very keen bird watcher has Zeis which 3 time more expensive. Better but I couldn't justify it. I could afford it but not justify it.

Good morning all, sunshine through mist here, very atmospheric. One of the red squirrels has just joined us for our last breakfast of the holiday. Will be heading off down the dreaded A9 in an hour or so.

I’m curious what peoples views are on this. I find the habit so many have got into of posting such personal stuff on social media a bit hard to get my head round but it seems to be getting more and more common.

I had heard there was a fatal accident just a few miles out the road yesterday.

Would any of you have put a post like this on Facebook in similar circumstances?

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Headache.

Morning all

Couple of things to do this morning before I hitch up the caravan and tow over to Wiltshire.
Weather looks like there may be a slight improvement next week. Fingers crossed.

My immediate thought is....keep it personal. Its not for the general public.
A bit sick... but that is only my opinion.
