That’s interesting Dove. I only read on my iPad (kindle) now. Never a book. So, of course we buy from Amazon. How times change. We have a very large collection of books in one of our rooms and I hardly ever go in there.😳
I climbed Ben Cruachan on my 30th. birthday, with my ex wife! Maybe it was something I said.
You didn't push her off that big slabby bit along the ridge did you? Wee reminder for you LP, Joyce and doc - 'Pointy' Cruachan from the other Munro [Stob Daimh] Dove - it doesn't surprise me any more when you see folk in ridiculous clothing on hills. I don't know how more people don't die of exposure on Nevis, when you see what they're wearing. Up there with their flip flops, shorts and poly bags 'cos it's sunny in the glen. Be kind to yourself Yvie. Sometimes it can be the 'comedown'after all the anticipation, and you've had a lot of that recently Glad your Dad is ok AuntyR. Always a bit stressful. I like that as well LG. Nice day here after a chilly night. Only just into double figures when I left for work just after 8am. Bit cloudy now, but I should get a few things done outside anyway. Lots of real autumnal colour in shrubs and trees round here. Looking good Hosta. Nice to get everything shipshape at this time of year. Love Pat's photo too. The bank of cloud in between the blue sky and the ground is great, especially when you get the shadows as well.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@Dovefromabove, re the clematis and the hedge, did you notice that someone planted Russian Vine at the foot of my hedge ( before we moved here, honest)
I've dug the original bit out,including label and cane, but it's suckered right underneath so I can't get it all out. Eejits.
Yes @Hostafan1 I saw that when we were there ... visit before last maybe? We got rid of rampant RV by cutting it down to the ground and applying targeted squirts of RoundUp to the new growth every time it appeared. Still have to keep an eye open for it coming over from NDN tho!
Flippin windy here here this afternoon!

I noticed your R.Vine Hosta. I managed to kill it in a previous garden. Quite proud of myself. No idea how I did it though I've noticed there's one in a garden further along the road from me. It's making a bid for world domination. I noticed two others in gardens on the way home today as well. I've been hacking and slashing in the border along my boundary. Needed to get at the buddleia, and did a bit of tidying along the hedge on the outside too. The two Pyracanthas there are laden with berries, so the blackies should be fine for food. The hoggies have found the little gap I made under the fence at the front corner of the garden, and there's a little flattened path in the grass beside the hedge as they make their way to the back garden.

Well, I'm as smug as Mr Smug the winner of the Smuggest man in Smugdom. I thought I'd have a good look at the drive belt on the mower to order another one. I had a bit of a look and decided that it might not be broken,just loose. I took the safety guards off and it was rammed full of dry grass . I cleared it all out and had a look at the drive belt and the 4 , yes four wheels it had to wind round and decided to give it a go. I found a little bit of twig wedged in one of the wheels so I reckon it'd deflected the belt off the wheel. It is done, and it works . RESULT!!

Lovely photos. Hit the italics by mistake. Time I went to sleep.
