Happy Gotcha Day to my boy Ripley
14 years have certainly gone by fast

It's been raining a lot in the last 4 days in the North West Highlands of Scotland. On the way home yesterday there was a partial release at Laggan Dam presumably done as the lochs behind were pretty full. The highest I've seen them in the last 7 years at least. #rain #hydroelectric #scotland

I didn't forget, this is the best photo of the cipher I could get...there are no other markings on the box that might date it.

Today is #AntarcticaDay started in 2010 and celebrates the signing of the Antarctic Treaty of 1959
10% of Earth set aside for peace and scientific study
I was privileged to set foot on the continent in January 2022 having crossed the Antarctic Circle near Wilhelmina Bay. Memories of a lifetime.

I walked under it in Summer 2021. Stayed at my pals in Ruswarp and we walked along the lineside path to Whitby and back for lunch! We got overtaken by steam on the way there!

Huge thanks to @marekbidwell.bsky.social for sending me a copy of his book #SkyeLine
Can't wait to read it & then add it to my local library seen here on p97 for more people to enjoy
Through the year I pass many folks on the Skye Trail, it's going to be interesting to read about Marek's adventure

Today on Skye has been a foul grey, wet and windy day thanks to #stormbert
So I'm dreaming of sunny warm days like this beauty in Elgol

And restaurants are going the same way. This was one I had this summer when I was out and about in England. Delicious but pretty small and expensive for the size.

It's frozen solid out of there this morning... crunchy snow 🥶
But the boys are loving it

Snow days = DIY days
I've had these tiles since December, yes.... last year.
Finally found the time to rip the ensuite apart and get them on the walls. Tiling is not my day job but I find it very calming! Tomorrow will be grouting day... definitely not as fun 😔

The cold damp thaw has started. The snow and particularly the ice isn't melting fast enough so another day we havent seen postie or past the drive gate. But yesterday we had cold blue skies so I walked to the bench at the top of the garden for some me time! #skye #snow #relax

Absolutely this from both my collies every time someone walks on the footpath alongside our garden

The chickens aren't necessarily enjoying the snow but they are loving the extra treats the orange cup brings. They spot that cup coming a mile away🐔🐔🐔🐔
