    Same old grey here as well
    Slightly delayed this morning, I fell down the AI well, now my free credit has expired until later so here I am!

    The flu-like has just about gone, left with froggy froat, not painful, just froggy. 
    I don't know of that's comical or annoying about your black trucks Dusty... I haven't got the Wot3Words app to check but is anybody's ErseDrinkGirls...? :innocent: And if there is would that put the house price up? :lol: 

    Good to hear the bleach is finally leaving your system your symptoms are easing Farway :) Hurrah for heavenly toms, worth the wait then eh. Your Great GrandAunt looks a formidable woman, bet she had some stories in her. I shouldn't be giving it free ideas but can AI make photos talk yet? And if the data scrapers find this and are for using my idea I want 90% of the profits or you're not having it.
    What 3 words, just asked AI, before the meter ran out, seems they go to a lot of trouble to prevent naughty combos, including foreign words that may mean something else to native speakers, looking at you Ford Pinto and Mitsubishi Pajero.

    AI makes fakes talk, loads on YT, which is what makes it hard to tell if the rubbish being spouted is a joke or really mean it
    I read this morning TV co's have had to resort to fake crowd cheers now, seems the rotters in the crowd chant nasty words about our Dear leader's alleged habits  >:)
    They used to say the Queen thought the world smelt of fresh paint, goodness knows what Dear Leader thinks when the chanting starts

    Hope hols go well PP,  looks suitably grey for the Ferry. 
    Does every place in Scotland have a castle on a small island handy? 
    Should we order one for Rottery Acres, sort of middle of the lake, near the observatory and seaplane landing?

    Nice Toad lily Dusty, I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild

    Tried one of my Santana apples, first time, the rats had them last year  :'( 
    I pronounce them a Cracker, lovely, but odd and nice sort of perfumed taste, crisp, juicy etc, 
    If you see some on sale, do sample them
    Not bought from here, just an example

    Only gardening today is more watering, just a few pots at the front, still no rain due, and I'd like to keep the plants going while they can

    Try again, blackberry pic. Works this time, nothing changed so must have been MSE

    Well would you believe it, more gloom.
    More a white gloom which is slightly better.
    Bit of a northerly breeze so I've put some washing out.

    Watered some plants, guess that's going to happen again today.
    Tomorrow I may go to a garden centre and see what reduced plants they have but I don't need any more work what with lack of rain.

    May get on with some clearing up but it seems a bit early or late to be cutting back stuff that has rambled during the drought.

    Got to try and get a handyman, heating engineer and buyer of odd furniture. I keep putting it off because it's depressing and hard work trying to get trades.
    So I'll nip up the coast and see if the weather is better there. For sure it won't be as lovely as Poppys photo. How lovely to look at that 🙂
    Wild swim in autumn in Scotland? Wow!


    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

    I guess the foreign words that confuse or give offence weren't such a problem in the days of Mr Brain's faggots?  :o 
    And speaking of AI making fakes talk, I expect you've found The Crewkene Gazette. If not, don't say I sent you!  :D
    I expect dear Leader maybe thinks back to the good old days of politics, when Roy Jenkins spoke about 'rancour' in his inimitable manner. There's a lot of it about!  ;)  
    Just say, "No!"

    That Toad Lily is lovely, Dusty.

    The wild swim was agreed to after a couple of glasses of wine 😂 DH had a wee paddle this morning and his feet were bright red after 😂 we’re off to the wild swim beach this afternoon…

    We were very lucky to see this plane landing on the beach this morning 😍 unfortunately we were still in the car at the time because the plane arrived about 20 minutes earlier than expected so we didn’t get a video 🙄 saw it take off again though - definitely a WOW moment…


    OT - grey clouds and a wee bit chilly…
