Happy Birthday, @lochdhu

191 photos yesterday... Some others that might be of interest. Anybody could step up and have a go at the archery - anybody. Some immaculate ancient machinery on display, both for highway and agricultural use. And, as the day turned out to be a good bit more summery than it looked as...

I thought it was you...

A marvellous day out at the local stately home, now owned by two brothers who made huge money with some internet thing. They pay all their own (considerable) expenses to facilitate the event, then give away all gate receipts, trader fees, etc. A 10km run for those daft enough, animals, cars...

The 'age stipulated' does not seem to be stipulated.

Celebratory Nigerian Guinness last night, in the garden on a suitably warm evening, after going on a six mile walk to rescue the small forest, as my walking companion has passed the test to be a fireman - lots of hard physical stuff, but she felt most pressured by suddenly having to do mental...

Happy Birthday, @highguyuk

I have rescued an entire forest this evening. We'll see if it survives.

I am just about recovered from yesterday - I expected a three hour journey and it took nearly five hours of hard going - and, when I got back, I was greeted by a cat in the hall, looking at the clock, about six and half hours after I had accidentally locked her in the house... We have agreed on...

I did a test run of a route which was suggested for a Friday evening hike - it is 12km (8 miles) but it has some very hard sections and took me 4h 40m - we'll see if that is an acceptable standard... I did have to walk a very short section of the tarmac road that leads over the pass, that I had...

I wonder if it is possible that Trump may have actually learned something..? https://www.rte.ie/news/world/2025/0624/1520070-us-middle-east/

Halfway there tomorrow.

Or, in the case of Beaconside, eight years. Longer than WW2 or the Moon Landing programme...

They don't mind. They're out a lot and she goes back there, whenever there's anybody about. They used to wonder what she got up to all day...

'My' cat has decided that she needs to win me back. She hovered around yesterday, but without hassling me much. She came to bed last night without waking me. She got up early, went out and came back with an offer of breakfast in bed. Then, she had a careful, 2-hour inspection of the entire...

Happy Birthday, @Jonah Edit - Whoops, moved it to the right thread....

Mmm, yes. We are having 'the conversation', after she went through my recent Forum history...

I have performed the last of my designated tasks for this absence period - and Feigy is still talking to me. I have managed to administer the necessary drugs to her - and all the fish are still alive, too. I will have a longer period to endure in a few weeks, but the trial run has gone...

Tonight, I decided to set off to the high point of the nearby mountains, the highest* place for many tens of miles around, with the idea of recording the solstice sunset. This was a solo expedition, for the same reason as why I am 'looking after' the anti-social cat. It went quite well. I could...
