Two pine martens. I think one of them is a young one and the other is the mother as martens are very territorial and one of them seems a lot smaller than the other. The woodpeckers are out in force at the moment.
We thought Amber was a staid middle aged cat who didn’t like going out much. Appears though that she still has an appetite for chasing prey. Luckily this poor little squirrel escaped.
We’ve decided to have a go at Solar power. In our usual style this is not a small simple installation, but as close as we can get (bearing in mind the Argyll climate) to being energy self-sufficient. So we are fortunate in being a south west facing bungalow with no direct shade. The only problem […]
Just an update on where I have been (not away as a guest of her Majesty!). Just before Christmas I had quite a serious accident when I slipped on the marble tiles in my bathroom and hurt both my shoulder and my ankles. It has taken me a long time to recover, which probably shows […]
Poor old Tora needed to be put to sleep. He was 19, rake thin, sleeping all the time and had got to the point where he couldn’t even jump on the bed. May he and Schrodi wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge.
We’ve had two enormous red deer stags in our garden of late. Apparently they have been seen all over the village and some meanies don’t like them. I like them even though they have been destroying our seed feeders. I also noticed that yesterday we had loads of cherries on our tree and today we […]
Not written much of late, largely because I haven’t had much to write about. Don’t really go anywhere apart from to see my Mum occasionally. I’ve not been paying any attention to the idiot Boris Johnson and his idiotic restrictions but I am not going on a bus that may well have people from the […]
I’m going to stop reading the news from today. A world where protests are allowed over someone who died in a different country over at the far side of the world, and now they are banning them over a serving police office in London who killed a girl and dumped her in a drain beggers […]
The poor engineer had to come over in the Dunoon ferry due to those idiots closing the road again. I am not an engineer but I honestly believe that this idiotic digging of pits has just destabized the whole thing and made matters a whole lot worse than it was before they started. If we […]
I just got an order from Array Fish from Inveraray. When they started delivering it was just Fish, but now they are doing all kinds of other stuff including vegetable boxes and organic local milk. The Argyll economy could frankly use a major boost after all this nonsense has gone on so I am supporting […]
