    Historic dinosaurs 😱......if thats not an oxymoron 😲.  Looks like you made a difference..... no self respecting dinosaur wants its claws obscured by weeds 😂

    Feelng a bit cream crackered - lunch with the outlaws, followed by 20 miles on the bike 🚲.  Watering and pruning will have to wait til the morning 🌅

    Sleep tight, chicky. Sounds like a busy day. At least it's a bit cooler than it has been.

    Hope the chocolate was curative, AuntyRach. 

    And glad you and Possum have had a good trip, Obxx. Are you back tomorrow?

    Well, another crazy day. 13 hours. 
    The highlight was also the most annoying as I walked all the way down here

    Beautiful scene Hosta .....I can think of worse places to be fuming 😤 😡🤬

    Just as well it was you on that track, Hosta. I wouldn’t have made it back up again.

    That does look lovely Hosta.  I hope you gave up and took their stuff back with you and they were charged for the trouble.

    Another good day with Possum yesterday - Sunday food market along the quays with oysters on offer for breakfast.  No thanks.  Lots of lovely breads and cheeses and pastries and fantastic fruit and veg.  I bought figs, cherries and strawberries to munch.

    Then a flea market, botanic gardens and Roman amphitheater and lots more walking and a couple of trams.  It is a lovely town with honey coloured stone buildings, happy atmosphere, interesting history, very good trams and active riverside life.   Doing better with the wines too.

    Off to the Bay of Arcachon for scenic stuff and maybe a paddle and then home later this evening.

    I like your dinosaur LG.   How's the face?

    Chicky - sounds like a good Sunday tho I wouldn't like a 20 mile bike ride these days.

    Have a great start to the week everyone.

    Is that Clovelly Hosta?  Gorgeous ... but not good for my knee! 😧. Was it a holiday cottage by any chance 🤔

    Hosta I work in a Chemist, we do hundreds of deliveries, on Friday there where five not in, but then they have the cheek to ring up and say “I wasn’t in can you try and deliver again” ggggrrrr, if they are out, why can’t they pick it up. Off to work now, hope your day gets better 🤪
