    Morning all! Very frosty here; but a beautiful blue sky.

    I'm only working in the evening today so have been given a big shopping list.

    - dog vaccinations

    - new dog bed (memory foam naturally)

    - dog food

    - new dog toy to replace his broken squeaky duck

    - new dog walking boots

    - dog first aid kit





    .... can you guess we have a dog?



    Have a great day all!

    Morning everyone. We've had a cool day and I've even got some gardening done. It makes such a difference when it's not boiling hot every day.

    still no rain. None since 13 Feb and that was only a quick hailstorm which didn't last more than a few minutes.image

    Ps. Are you still starting a march site, Dove?

    Morning all/afties Pat - glad you're getting some respite from the heat. We've had the same only it's from the rain! It's due back today though. image

    I see we have some furniture spam and also beds or summat. How thoughtful of them to provide a full service eh? image

    Welcome home the fidgets - seems as if you've been away for months  image

    Clari - do you have a dog? I wasn't sure......image image

    Think my blackies have a nest across the road beside the little bungalow that has loads of good nesting cover Dove. They're all very busy. Nice to have greenfinches - they seem to be in real decline here.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Good morning all, hi Patimage

    Chicky your spring flower display is so cheerfulimage.  The lighter mornings are very welcome.

    Glad you managed to get into the garden for a while Pat.  Hopefully you'll get some rain soon.

    Hope the neck carries on improving Dove.  Our pair of blackbirds usually greet me by running out from under a holly bush.  I suspect they are nesting in there and Mr B is very territorial and chases every other bird away.

    Fairy, you're right, the green finches disappeared from the garden quite a few years ago now and there were lots of themimage.

    Clari I thought our dog was spoilt but I've never bought her walking bootsimage

    Have a good day everyoneimage

    Morning all. 

     Brightish morning, hard frost overnight but no wind.

    No1 Daughter has a call booked at 10.15 ( don't they ever left folk have "time off" any more? ) so I might sneak up to the tunnel and leave her to it.

    Hubby off to work, but home around 3.30.

    Welcome home the Fidgets. Hope you slept well. 

    Devon.

    Hugh Bonneville  ( aka Lord Grantham ) thinks his Mum was a spy!

    I knew his Mum for years, Long before I met Hugh, she was divine , but I never suspected anything sinister about her.

    I've got a photo of one of the baby Skinks - not very good but it shoots away at the slightest hint of someone being nearby.

     And another visitor today - a white eared honey eater ( which I'm reliably informed is a misnomer - they eat insects) . It was resting on a beam under the roof of the back verandah.

    love your wildlife shots Pat. Nice to see things we'll never see here.

    Thanks Hosta. I sometimes wonder if I should put them up or not.

    We've just finished watching Michael Mosely investigating his sleep problems and his attitudes to various things. Very interesting.
