Today was just BUSY. It wasn’t the brightest day we’ve had, but there was a lot to do in the house.
Scamp was out in the morning to get her meds and I was busy putting the list of clothes into the big bag and the list of tech in the slightly smaller bag. By lunchtime it was almost done and we settled down to hear what Nick the Chick had to say about SNP and Resignation.
I truly wasn’t expecting that. Neither was Fred, I think. Not one WhatsApp message, photo or dodgy video making fun of her. Nothing. It was that kind of shock. Probably months down the line there will come a revelation that will partly explain the machinations behind her decision to step down as First Minister. For all her faults, she saw the country through two years of Covid and I have to commend her for that. At times we thought she was being too cautious, but better safe than sorry. So, who’s going to take her place? There doesn’t seem to be a rush to pick up that poisoned chalice!
In the afternoon I took a walk in St Mo’s, partly to clear my head and partly to see if the big digger that had been parked there (not in my head) had done anything useful. Well, it had … sort of. Two ponds that act as overspill areas for the main pond had been partly cleared of weed and some of the verges of the main pond had been cleared. Other than that, not a lot. Was that it, or was that just the groundwork for something more major coming soon? Who knows with NLC.
I took a few photos, but nothing interesting, however, on the way home I got today’s PoD which is a trio of swings in the playpark. I think it was one of the photos Alex took at Culross that sparked my imagination. My shot wasn’t quite as good as his, but it was a reasonable PoD.
Finished this morning’s good work and I think everything is where it should be now. No time for a sketch today, but I’ll try to catch up in the coming week.
Early rise tomorrow.
