We went shopping.
We needed a fair bit of shopping, because, like Old Mother Hubbard, our cupboard was looking rather bare. A quick visit to Tesco and a few quid changing hands soon put a stop to the potential starvation.
It was a pleasantly warm day, with plenty of sunshine so I took the opportunity to go out for a walk in St Mo’s and grab some photos. I’d been using my trusty Sony A7iii for a while, but today I gave it a rest and took the A7c with me instead.
It looked at first sight as if there was very little to photograph, then a few wee Wolf Spiders popped out of the breaks in the boardwalk and I thought I’d get a few shots of these arachnids. I’d forgotten just how quick these hunting spiders were, except when the females are carrying their egg sacks on their backs. The egg sacks slow them down enough to grab a few shots, but the ones I saw today were mainly males which don’t carry the eggs. However, I did manage to get a few shots. I wondered what any passers by would make of me crawling on all fours taking photos!
With a few shots in the bag I walked back home for a quick lunch and a chance to check my photos. As usual, there were more shots going into the bin than were kept.
Scamp and I drove over to Shona’s house to see how the task of emptying Paul’s house was going. Margaret and Caroline had begun to work on the downstairs rooms but had time to sort through the hundreds of photos dating back to June’s marriage to Tommy. I took some phone photos and hopefully I’ll manage to clean them up and enlarge some of the better ones. Just over an hour later we were heading home for a light dinner and a chance to watch Gardeners’ World.
Tomorrow I’ve an appointment at the clinic in Muirhead to get my summer Covid jag. Oh what fun.
