Ages
I tried to upload some pictures from last Saturday’s very successful gala day in the Bay, the sun shone down, some might say mercilessly, but that would be churlish. But just in case you are interested, I have noted (way) below the chief reasons why I don’t like sunny days. Anyway, back to the gala,…

Braw Day
So, here we were in Aberdour today, on a bike ride (him) a long walk (me), and attending the opening of the new Harbour Art Gallery, down by the harbour, as one may guess. Sunshine, people outside in shorts and dresses, shaking their heads in disbelief as the mirk is pulled away, as if by…

Boxing clever
Here is a picture of my dear husband, in a garden centre which shall remain nameless. Suffice to say it is a garden centre which is charging £75 for a 30″ diameter plastic one of these box topiary things.

Charmed
Just wanted to document my previous claim regarding a charm of goldfinches – one of the many, many, glorious and wonderful things about the world of birds is the impressive list of collective nouns it has garnered. I have noticed that many birds, face on, look rather aggressive, and the wee chap here is no…

Otrnith*
Below are pictures of some birds we have seen recently. I did not have the camera to hand when I saw the tree sparrow in our garden but we have been fortunate to see some less common visitors of late, no doubt exploiting all opportunities for food, after the awful weather earlier in the year.…

Banking on it
Nothing new has happened. This is a Good Thing, there was far too much new stuff earlier on this year. Although we have been away, to glorious Perthshire (Blair Atholl with the Mincers and Dunkeld by ourselves) and to London. I think we maybe pushed the envelope until it burst when we went to the…

Stuff
So much happening globally; whilst we have just returned from the capital, it was a hugely enjoyable visit, but with the funeral preparations for the Magon ever present. Back home to terrorism, global catastrophe, local discombobulation and ever present paranoia. What a relief to have Sarah, Michaela and Daniel here on Sunday.

Difficult
I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy Martin Luther King But I did say that I would mark this day. Here is a picture which sums up our weekend at Blair Atholl, with Dalgety Bay Folk Club and…

Rabbitrabbitrabbit….
Jings. For someone who finds it difficult to shut up, on a record number of occasions this year so far I have been lost for words, bereft of speech, stunned into silence, gobsmacked, and summarily disenfranchised vocally. This and the manic vortex that has passed for a life recently has resulted in fewer than usual…

Total Mince
Last night After 8 Mince launched their first CD. Thank you to everyone who came along, and bought copies; to the Groupies who managed the sales, and most of all to the band for the journey. Especially extra huge thanks to Paul for being a total star, and putting up with me being a diva…
