Friday 17.02.2012

Working and walking, walking and working, a bit of sheep gathering



(they need regular pedicures)





and a brief spell of Bennachie labrador-sitting so managed a quick foray to the top on a blustery, cold day:



with lots of swirling mist





and the odd ent.











But now, back home and round the woods on a perfectly "ordinary" February day in Scotland: no hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, volcanoes, earthquakes,floods,tsunamis,desperate cold or unbearable heat, no killer bees, poisonous snakes,or deadly spiders and, generally speaking, not much chance of getting shot or blown up.

Sometimes simply not grateful enough for a grey, breezy winter`s day, birdsong and snowdrops and two happy dogs.

Oh - and good books - thank you O, friend of A, for the recommendation of Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve - another ripping yarn based on a wonderfully imaginative, if slightly disturbing, vision of the future.
