Morning. It was the same here yesterday, it was evening before the sun came out. Hope your Chiropractor helps you when you go today. Waiting to hear from my niece we’re going to Haven for a few days, so it will be good to get some sunshine.
Evening, Not once did the sun come out today but it was very humid, I just did a few jobs round the house and rested a good bit. Went to water my tubs but found I didn’t have the strength to carry the watering can, this is getting ridiculous. 
I’ve never been to any of those holidays places, always meant to go with the grandchildren but it didn’t happen, but you have a good time.
It’s the heat Rox …it won’t help. 
It’s energy sapping. And argh! Supposed to be be gettong hotter at weekend.
Morning, It’s boiling here already Morty, it’s going to be inside with the fans running for me today. I used to love the heat but now I hate it, Once it’s cooler tonight we might get the Clydes to the beach for a paddle in the ocean, they love that and most of the tourists have returned to wherever they’re staying for the night so it’s nice and quiet. Tourist season never used to be like this it was busier sure but since Covid and motorhomes it’s gone nuts, the locals who live here hate it.
It sounds bliss … could you hitch up a little cart for me to ride in. I’d love to romp in the surf.
I’ll bring some apples for the Clydes. How many have you got?
2 They belong to my partner, he rescued them about 8 years ago. They’re called Bonnie and Clyde, sorry we’ve not got a cart you’d need to saddle up. 
Crikey I wouldn’t dare. But Clydes look beautiful horses.
Evening had a lovely time away with the nieces. Really hot here yesterday so got what I needed and came and stayed indoors till evening time. Then did a bit of tidying up the front garden. Rox I used to feel the same about all the tourists who used tome to Largs.Morty I agree Clydes are beautiful horses.
Hi Jess, Glad you enjoyed yourself, it’s been boiling here, left me with no energy at all, we had some heavy rain and I just sat in the kitchen doorway and watched it. It’s cooling now thankfully.
Morty the Clydes are the gentle giants but can look a bit intimidating because of their size.
If you want to know what a beach ride is like watch this.
Hi Rox, Met my friend in Glasgow yesterday. it wasn’t that warm and there was a heavy shower. Went out with my niece last night for dinner, Today its catching up with housework and then the shops for something for dinner.
@Rox Looks idyllic and very calming … did your partner rescue working horses? What a wonderful thing to do as they can’t be cheap to look after.
Afternoon, It’s much cooler today with lots of showers, and I can breathe 
makes me feel a lot better. Just pottering around the place today slowly catching up.
I wasn’t living up here when Dunc took the Clydes on, I knew he had but nothing else. The farmers up here are a tight knit lot and gossip a lot so he soon found out about the Clydes lol. Dunc’s dad had a Clydesdale and Dunc loved him and they were constantly together when he was growing up. These Clydes were on their own most of the time being neglected, not by cruelty but lack of funds and not able to be cared for properly. Someone called the SSPCA about the state of them and Dunc knowing about it offered to give them a home. He has built a very close relationship with them, they like me but not in the same way, they see me as a walking treat hoarder and scratching machine. I get mugged and my pockets gone through, they know I’ve always got treats about me.

Have you a farrier nearby Rox? I ask because my father was a farrier and shod Clydesdales. Some of the larger farms had 3 or 4 pair. When I served my apprenticeship as a blacksmith I got to remove some of the shoes but I was never allowed drive the nails when putting on a new shoe. By that time of course there were only a few horses left on the farms,
Yes there’s 3 not too far away, nearest is over at Wick.
Nice to see the new thread going! Always enjoy the mix of laughs and thoughtful moments in here. I was reading something on griefquote the other day—some lovely quotes that really make you pause and reflect. Just felt like it fit the mood of some of the recent chats we’ve had.
Hi and welcome, Selena. Which part of USA if you don’t mind? My dear wife is from Atlanta but we now live in UK, Yorkshire now. Originally I’m from Scotland near Kirriemuir.
Hello Selena nice to see a new face in The Scottish Club, this used to be a busy thread but things went quiet a while ago, several of our friends left for one reason or another. 
Morning. Hi Selena, nice to see someone else posting on here. It’s like being back to winter here the winter coat is back on again. Hair and nails for me today, then see what else I can get up to.
Morning, It’s wet n windy here today, as you say Jess it’s back to the jackets again. I’m stuck in waiting for a delivery, hopefully it won’t be for too long, I want to see a friend down in the village later.

i ought to stir myself and do a few jobs but can’t be bothered.
