Hi Rox. Yes, I understand about Dageus. I miss Max, our Collie, and now we have our Springer Spaniel:

I still miss my little Jack Russell from over 30 years ago … they always stay with you don’t they and that’s how it should be.
Went out today and boy it was gusty. I was tottering along and swaying in the wind like a drunk. 
Got back and did some baking. That’s done me … I’m never hungry after standing cooking or baking.
Evening just waiting on the News at Six (Scotland) it’s been a day of showers and oh so cold a wind, it was another at home day for me after the pool.
I don’t think I’ve seen a Jack Russell up here Morty, when I was in Perth a neighbour had one but it was a vicious little beast, she couldn’t walk it because it flew at everything it met. It ended up being put to sleep because of it’s biting.
Yes, the wee Jack Russell…(
And that wind !! One of our greenhouse panes fell off but my neighbour had afew spare panes so we fixed it - hopefully for good…
They’re lovely little dogs … rather intelligent.
But, … they’re rat catchers and you do have to watch them.
Our little dog bit me on the face when I was about 10 or 11 but it was my fault.
Mum asked me if I wanted her put to sleep but I said no. I’d been teasing her and saw her ears going back and I stupidly carried on teasing her.
We were the best of friends, before and after.
And another dismal day here … hopefully it’s supposed to be picking up middle of next week. Fingers crossed!
The only wind damage here was a few wheelie bins blown over. I hate strong winds.
Good evening, got home this morning after a great holiday. It was lovely to see my nephew and his little boy, who is one smart cookie for his age. We had a few weekends away and went to the beach, but I usually sat in the shade. I was sad to see the news about the fire at Central Station, its such a shame that ithe shops were destroyed by the fire.
Hi Jess, Glad you had a good time and glad to see you back. Weather’s still crap and I’ve not been doing much, but heading to the garden centre tomorrow as I want some lavender plants. I’m clearing one of the side beds and putting in lavender, it spreads quite quickly so it shouldn’t take too long to all join up. The bees love it and I like the smell.
Yeah the Union Corner was quite a shock and is now being dismantled, the Railway Station is still closed too.
Good Morning Folks,…Hiya Jessie it’s good to see You again and glad You had a lovely time with Your Family,
Well looking out the window I see My Spring flowers are drookit especially the Daffodils,but buds appearing on flowering shrubs cheered Me up,…Will the rain ever cease 
It’s Mothers day again…has it really been a Year since the last one 
Good morning, thanks for the welcome back. Rox we had rain over there even though it was really hot at times, I even bought a brolly. Some days I used to get the bus myself to the shops. I love the smell of Lavender. May all the spring flowers are out in the front garden here and so are the weeds. Case is unpacked and I’ll put them in the machine later.
Morning, Not too bad here at the moment but I think the rains not too far away. Just finishing my coffee and heading over to the garden centre for lavender, hopefully they have some. Managed to persuade Himself to come with me as I want a few bags of compost and bark chips, they’re far to heavy for me to manage on my own, said I’d treat him to a bar lunch 
Have a good day.
Good morning Each,it was bright and sunny earlier so took a walk to the Co-op for rolls and square sausages which I’ve just eaten with a sliced onion 
…Took Me a bit longer than usual to walk there,so got the bus back just in time to miss a heavy shower of rain.
Hope All are well…see Ye A’ later,xx
Hi and good morning all. So it’s cloudy Monday but no rain. This after noon I have a couple of appointments at the hospital this afternoon, one of them for my hearing. And that’s it.
Morning, Heavy Showers here so it’s another at home day. After lunch I’m going on a strict sort out of my clothes, if I’ve not worn it in the last 6 months it’s going to the Charity Shop. I’ve far to many clothes, shoes/boots ect especially jackets and body warmers Soooo… Sleeves rolled up.
Definitely a female thing !
Good evening. Had a Dentist appointment today thankfully all is well. Really cold here today and showers did some food shopping and came home. I’ve also been sorting out clothes for the charity shop.
A stay at home day today …
I had my first Telephone Hospital appointment … timed at 14.50 , it said on the letter.
The hospital would aim to call me within 1 hour it said.
14.50 I’m sitting in a quiet room with my mobile.
14.51 … the phone rang.
14.53… my appointment was over.
Much quicker than going to a face to face appointment.
Yes - I agree with those appoints.
Morning, Not a bad day but cold winds. Saw diesel is now £2 a litre here, we are always dearer than other places but worse since Grangemouth was closed by that damn UK Government. Now our fuel has to be hauled even further and we often run out because they don’t deliver often enough. Thankyou Idiot Starmer. 
I don’t mind the phone appointments by phone Morti, the trouble is…getting one.
Have a good day all.
As of March 16, 2026, diesel prices in remote parts of north-west Sutherland have hit a “whopping” 211.5 pence per litre.

This surge in fuel prices, which comfortably exceeds the £2 per litre mark, is attributed to the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran, which has driven up global oil prices and created significant pressure on rural Highland fuel costs.

- Location: North-west Sutherland (highland region).
- Price: 211.5 pence per litre (approx. £2.12).
- Context: This represents some of the highest pump prices in the UK, deeply impacting rural motorists and residents.
- Heating Oil Impact: Similar price shocks have been reported for home heating oil in the area, with costs for some households having more than doubled to around 147p per litre recently.

Retailers have faced criticism for not passing on lower costs to consumers, leading to calls for further investigations, particularly for remote areas that rely heavily on private transport.
Evening, dry here today but a really cold wind. Hairdressers and nails today. Rox the prices in Oz were going up when I was there, I don’t imagine they’ll come down either.
It’s been a lovely day here …spring sunshine though a little blowy.
The amount of jobs I’ve actually knuckled down to do is unbeleivable … I shall need a day to recover.
Or may a custard doughnut for a treat will do.
