Getting older and grumpier. Fed up by the ongoing decline of my world. So I'll sometimes find it difficult to avoid politics.

I do love nature, culture and travel and so that's where I'll probably post most.

Photos mostly taken on my phone!

Is it cold? This could be it... #hibernation - no activity last night and this was tentative.

I obviously set the date wrong on camera having recharged it...24/11 not 24/12!

It amazes me that i can live in a city but wander on some hills in a very rural setting. There's even 3 deer in the second photo.

This morning is looking far more promising than days of late.

Wet and warmer couple of days seems to have hindered hibernation. We think the hog is well fed, so hope its just a matter of time.

One of these is a #dundee burger and one is an #Edinburgh burger.

Both delicious.

But I think it's obvious which is which.

It's fun walking about #Edinburgh in the evenings just now.

The lights and darkness cover a multitude of sins.

Busiest pavement corner in #Edinburgh and after an almost £86m refurbishment of North Bridge, this is the quality of engineering we've got. Flooding at pedestrian crossing.
Ok. Bridge ain't falling down...but surely this has to be better?

It's a dog's life apparently.

We don't own a dog but it is our sofa....

#boats often feature on our travels. They are so interesting and sometimes remind me that there are some very difficult ways to make a living!

It's been a wee while since an #Edinburgh sky looked like this. I know its a brief moment in time, so enjoying it.
