Awwww! It was very rainy the day we were there, beanie, though it was glorious the next day - here are the photos, anyway, and I've included a seashore photo too
https://www.flickr.com/photos/113913137@N06/ Ignore the photos of the weird fish thing I was talking about that on the KonMari thread, trying to figure out if it was a one-off ... and its not :rotfl:
Skinny dipping! Or as I first wrote, skinny dripping
I spent a teenage holiday at one of the most badly polluted beaches in Majorca, hired a pedalo, and when we were far Out There, flung the bikini onto the pedalo and pottered up and down, well away from the beach and the worst of the pollution lurvely.
Okay, today is a catch up day. I haven't picked up any terrible lurgy :j I just have a single, telephone session, so I can put the washing machine on, finally put the unpacking away, tidy up, burn some discs for people as wedmin, that sort of thing. And more tidying up
And I just noticed this article in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jun/02/adam-croft-self-published-her-last-tomorow-story
Nice!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Thanks for the photo's.
Very very close but not it.
I will try to get there at some point.
Thank you so very much for trying so hard.

Good to see you back and a bit more chipper. How is the garden?
I decided to try to conduct an organic slug repellent experiment which required a long dry spell (which had been forecast) however since then it has been cold and wet... I am now resisting the urge to buy possible slug repellent plants to replace the stumps of those left behind!!
Beautiful pics, I love Scotland and try to get there at least once a year 0 -
Thanks Darpett! How are you?Good to see you back and a bit more chipper.
The garden is extremely chipper :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: in fact, its busting out all over the place _pale_How is the garden?
Ooh ... I have a *lot* slugs in my garden, I'm sure, there's a lot of greenery, a lot of bits left over that slugs adore. Its a good job I was chipping away at the pruning and weeding and whatnot earlier this year, because otherwise a lot of the garden would now be in accessibleI decided to try to conduct an organic slug repellent experiment which required a long dry spell (which had been forecast) however since then it has been cold and wet... I am now resisting the urge to buy possible slug repellent plants to replace the stumps of those left behind!!
I kid you not, unfortunately!
That would be lovely! I'd like to do that too, after retirement/getting well. Whereabouts do you go? I loved travelling around the Hebrides, but I've stayed in Glasgow too and loved that.Beautiful pics, I love Scotland and try to get there at least once a year
Right, off for Second Breakfast, I think ...2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
We generally go the the West Coast, Applecross was last years destination and it was stunning. I've also visited Skye. I love Edinburgh and Inverness as well.
I do like the East coast as well and am partial to the Borders - which is where the Scottish line of my family hail from. So kind of all over I guess...
Second breakfast sounds like a great idea - and then I'll give the garden a good coat of looking at 0 -
"wedmin" great phrase.0
