Colonsay looks pretty stunning today - could not have asked for better weather. Even the ground under foot was mainly dry and easily traversed.

113% would recommend!

Have you swam in the sea yet? I bet its bastard cold. Looks great, it calls you in, your feel turn blue as they touch the water.

The sea around the U.K. reaches its highest in September as it lags behind air and land temperature.

Not saying it’s going to be like the Caribbean though.

All that piping hot excrement probably helps as well...

Or even as warm* as Red Wharf bay on Ynys Mon where I swam 2 weeks ago. Fucking freezing.

I love how there’s always a random Mini somewhere on a Hamburg street.

Not grin exactly but interesting.

Actually rather sad as this beautiful, smart and vibrant woman has been bedbound for the best part of two years, a result of Covid infection.

As a physicist and generally intelligent person I'm sure she had the appropriate injections, but still caught it and is now unable to do anything for herself.

Wish I could send the lass Wellness Vibes to make the little viruses pack up their cardboard suitcases and TAKE OFF!

...maybe some beautiful music would help....

Got the space nearest to the door at Lidl this morning. Small victories and all that.

In it's natural habitat. And no, I don't know who owns the streetwise 

[Dyslexic Viking]

No cars have driven past for a long time and there is total silence here. And some evenings I can hear an owl in the distance in the forest.

This is so nice and I will never understand how some of you voluntarily live in cities.

I am the same here in Spain. However, the owls here are in the tree opposite.  I am in a wooded area. There use to be an owls nest in the near by church. Sadly a few years ago renovations meant the hole was blocked up.

I lived in cities until my mid 30's, when we moved to a rural village location, in Norfolk.

I'll never go back to a city.

Granted my village is not as quiet as it used to be, and the bigger road near my house ( there are two, but one is a very minor one) is busier at night than it was, but we still get long spells with no traffic.

My mum still lives in st Albans. Every time I go back I think ' where the hell did all these houses come from?' and it's crazy busy now

watching grand designs and kevins looking at a cottage at flamborough head thats had a 3 storey glass box attached to it  (the end of the row)

was there the other week and was like wtf but to be fair they rescued it cos it was falling down and it might have taken next door with it - but hes slightly amused as its going up but said better than it is now

Just going through executor stuff for my sister in laws estate.

Customer service* doing great things…

[captain_70s]

A company like Netflix will almost certainly be outsourcing their customer service to a country where English won't be the staff's first language.

We have a pack of Jackals that do a few laps of the village scavenging most nights.

They start making quite the racket as they go, which in turn sets off most of the dogs in homes.

Ours have sort of gotten used to them,no barking but very alert.
