so that cameras paid for itself.. and I wont hopefully be totally bracass when I get home


I didn't expect to sell either but obviously "weird" sells !!

AAAAwwwwwwwwwww, wish I lived nearer Alfie - I'd definately come & have a look at Mr Mixture. Sounds a bundle of joy.

Know what you mean about Ebay - weird does sell, but little else really at the mo.
I'm trying to get something done before tomorrow, but being waylaid by all sorts of intruding stuff. The internet is quite a distraction & easy to get off track, but must get back on it!

Well, we've battened everything down and given our builder friend the day off tomorrow, so we'll enjoy one or two days of enforced rest now. We need the rain too, big time. It tried last night, but failed.

I'm not complaining. This week has been hard for all of us. I was walking about on Wednesday, hunched, like Quasimodo, after a day lifting and cleaning-up floor slabs. Today I took it a bit easier, allowing myself a pre-rain bonfire on one of those days when the smoke goes straight up.

The cats joined us at dusk tonight as we did a quick tour. They rush about, just like dogs, or lie in wait and ambush each other. :rotfl: We'd not been indoors 5 minutes after commenting on one or two large bats spotted close to the house, when in came Izzy with a huge one in her mouth! Next thing we knew it was circling in our living room.:eek:

As before, we just opened the patio doors and away it went....

The cloud dropped like a veil on the way home earlier & it's suppose to be really strong wind tomorrow.
We have to go to Inverness, but we have someone coming to lift scaffolding & bring some gravel & pick up old sea weathered oak beams for outside around the house. We have a pile of junk that they take to the tip for us after dropping off the gravel - so it's a good use of the pick up truck & driver. feel guilty I won't be here, but that's the way it is.

You should rest up Dave as you sound like you have been doing too much lifting - you don't want to jigger your back up.

The garden we saw today was quite amazing really. It had been all over grown & derelict until 1980s when the couple started to redo it. They had plants for sale at £2 each which I thought was very reasonable as they looked healthy & unusual, but I didn't buy any.

Had a look-see at that garden, choille and it looks pretty interesting on their interweb site. Some really arty-farty photos, besides the ones more like those I take!

Took your advice and didn't do much today, despite it turning out somewhat nicer than expected, if far too windy to think straight out of doors. Lurked in polytunnel.

At lunchtime Pete 'phoned to warn me he'd been up here and put a new ram in our fields. I already knew, having heard him before I saw what had happened.

"Us don't really naw to much about 'un," said Pete, " but he seemed all roight when us put raddle on un."

So, we have a ram of unknown temperament roaming here. Thanks Pete! :undecided

Well - came home & no coal bunker, but a small pile of grey gravel & the oak & the rubbish gone - well quite a lot of it.

Came home to a massive fur ball on the bed that hairy cat has coughed up so bed changed & in the wash - animos - who would have them?

Glad that Bimble's holiday home is looking after him - as if they wouldn't.

Deer mum,

Wot does !!!!!! meen?

I is a good boy. She is telling me that all the time. . We went for walk this morning in the fields, like last night. I liked the walk last night in the town too. It was funny we He got there, young kiwi jumps up and down like a ball when he sees the He get of the train the ginger fluff jumps too and gets happy cus kiwi is, I know the He better than her, and you don't see me acting like a fool do you?

But it was fun, we walked round town before the train got there, and theres lots a good smells.

Been raining most of today though, so after the walk and breakfast, we went for a drive and then we have been doing 'bloody housework'. He says we'll go running tonight if the rain is less bad. Tomorrer she says we is goin for coffee in another town at a cafe. Sounds fun, and kiwi and I is planning kiss chase round the chairs wiv the bit of ginger fluff.

Driving to fetch Horse Woman's paper this morning, a bird suddenly enters stage left and begins to fly in front of me at around 25mph. It's a sparrowhawk. For a few seconds, I feel like one of those wildlife cameramen as it flaps along in front, totally un-phased. It's like it's deliberately using the car as 'cover.'

Then, suddenly, it veers right, swoops over someone's front hedge and disappears among the trees in their garden. Did it see something, or was it on a regular route? If there was a small bird flitting about, it wouldn't have stood a chance!

That was the most exciting thing that happened today, which has been very windy and somewhat wet. Not wet enough to get the stream running but like Bimble, I've mostly been confined to barracks.
