Afternoon All, Been away with the dog and met up with some dog walkers I’d not seen in yonks. Soooooo, we caught up, then went and had a seat while the dogs had a grand time running and playing on the beach. My favourite type of dog walk these days.
Nothing planned for this afternoon, may just snooze at the fire…Well, it’s Sunday afternoon.
Good Afternoon Folks,a fine sunny one here so been busy moving plantpots etc’ around,
Boris Johnson has been spotted arriving for a weekend with the Queen at Balmoral.
‘ Double double toil and trouble/Fire burn and cauldron bubble ‘
Wonder if he will pass that daft Balmoral Test the Royals set you up for. I know dear Maggie Thatcher failed miserably. Oh dear what a shame.
Hello everybody. Had bother with my laptop the other day, took it to the shop and they fixed it for me. Tried to post on here and it just disappeared. Anyway my niece was down today and got me back on here again.
LOL…I wonder if We’ll see pic’s of Him doing the highland fling wearing a kilt trying to out-do Gove in the popularity stakes…Those two will stoop to anything to try and fool Us Scots into thinking They actually LIKE Scotland…hilarious!..We’re not so easily conned
Glad You got it fixed Jess.
Same here Jess, What would we do without our young relatives eh?
Morning Ladies, Again with the cold and dull this morning. I really think summer has been n gone now. Been for my swim and some shopping at Tesco on the way home. Heading away with the dog soon then a catch up around the house. Weeding…Again this afternoon and start emptying the tubs that are almost done now, but that all depends on the weather. Have a nice day.
Evening Roxy quiet on here today. Went to Chiropodist today. Apart from that just housework this afternoon and a wee visit from my Daughter this morning.
Oor Jess is locked oot again. Hopefully her niece will help her.
Morning Everyone, Oh Dear poor Jess, I have to wait for my daughter to come up if I have a real computer problem, or take it to a repair place and pay a fortune.
Not a lot on today, most put out it’s only 17 deg here, and down south they get 30 deg. It’s snotfair.
Good Afternoon Each…phew…it’s a hot one here now and to be even hotter Tomorrow,so just taking it easy pottering around the garden,
Good afternoon May and all in Club Scotland. Time to get that lounger out again May, get the benefit of all the sunshine while it’s not the usual rain and cold!
I’ve taken a few days out to translate some previous Scottish worded posts. Have a look at the posts below and see how you reckon I did with the translation (in italics):

Evening all can’t believe how warm it is. Went to see a friend. Walked to her house as I didn’t realise how hot it was then. We sat out in her garden drinking iced water to revive me! Phoned my Son to see if he could come and get me as couldn’t face the walk back.and luckily he did.
Going to do as little as possible tomorrow!
10/10 Young Man…We’ll make a Scotsman of You yet
Good Morning Folks,and it is a very nice sunny one here,so got out early to the shops and the library before it gets too warm,…to be 26c later…enjoy it while it’s here
Morning Everyone. Lovely here today but all change expected tomorrow. As it’s so nice and most of the tourists have, gone Himself is finishing a couple of hours early and we’re off for a good hack with the clydes, finishing with a donder along the beach…their favourite place.
Working in the garden till I get too hot then I’ll just sit in the shade for a while. Enjoy your day now.
I like watching the Highland Vet series on TV. I think it comes from your neck of the woods Rox. Some stunning photography. I prefer it to the Yorkshire Vet series.
Scot that is our vet.
That’s not too bad, 10 out of 10, thanks May. I had already been awarded the title ‘honorary Scotsman’ a while back so am ‘getting there’. Quite good for a ‘southerner’ I guess so I had better order the kilt and sporran next!
Morning All, Well that’s the rain on and boy is it coming down. Good job I put my pots of begonias in the greenhouse last night or they would be wrecked altogether now. Just catching up with the house jobs today as it’s so wet, and dark. Dog is not too chuffed as he only got a shortish walk…Tough.
