Morning. Up early again. Probably just as well as the forecast is saying showers between 8 and 9 so I’ll get out soon.

Morning all.
I've got all the usual things to do today, dog walking, domestics, and hopefully I'll get out on the bike for a while later on before the Tour comes on the telly box this afternoon. Coverage doesn't start until 2pm on ITV4 today.

Good morning all, last day on Arran. A damp morning is forecast but supposed to dry later.

Well so much for the rain not arriving until later. I got caught in a couple of showers. Had a walk for 3 miles then turned and jogged back.
I will no doubt watch the cycling again this afternoon. I don’t think it starts until 2 today so time for another walk before it hopefully.

Q-ish day today. Visiting a friend this avo, he's just had a pacemaker fitted and is feeling a bit glum.

Good morning folks. Last day of the Meds today and I plan to celebrate this evening with a vegetable Pathia from our local Nepalese restaurant. Hopefully that will take the metallic taste away. Serendipitously ( if that's a word) I have a dental appointment on Friday and having been brushing my teethe half a dozen times a day at a minimum recently to try to get rid of the taste, the dentist should be suitably impressed. Mrs Tkk has a ten mile training run scheduled for today, she's following one of the Garmin half marathon plans and it's been going well.
I'm off for a walk soon, have a peaceful day ☀️☕️

We have a local guy that takes some nice wildlife pics. Love this one of a couple of red squirrels.

We’ve got lots now. It’s getting rare to see a grey. They trapped the greys for a long time and seem to have got rid of most of them.
There's a colony on Brownsea Island. Being an island the wardens can keep an eye out for any interlopers. I'd love to see them spread out further afield. On an adjacent topic, I was in Rhayader for a race, the year of Halle-Bop. Had the pleasure of seeing Red Kites as the area was one of the few places they could be seen. Fast forward to a couple of years ago when Mrs Tkk and I were in Leeds visiting family. We went for a walk just a mile or so from the city centre and saw a Red Kite circling overhead 😎👍
