Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Wednesday. Only two more houses to view today and that's us done. We might be making an offer on one we have already seen though, unless MrsD thinks herself out of it! 😐 We shall see.

Whatever you are up to today, have a great day. Have fun, take care. Laughter is not optional! 😀

We took Wesley for a walk towards Portgordon last night and say a few of the seal colony which lives there. there was around 30 last year but winter storms destroyed the rookery. 😟

@Steampunk_Prof Just heading to the beach with Wesley before the hunt!

Cheers.

@Steampunk_Prof Wesley is reluctant to go out if mum isn't going too! Velcro!!

@Steampunk_Prof Mind you, Wesley doesn't like the rain and sits in the garage doorway looking miserable if we even attempt to go out when it's raining.

Taking a page from @fozztexx.com and my own belts for my cassette deck from NinjaFlex TPU.
Bonus points because it is bright orange so I can see if it is sitting properly.
Unfortunately I can’t ever get things right the first time. It took a couple tries.

@jim @fozztexx.com Now that's handy! I never knew cassette deck bands could be 3D printed. My Sony stack needs a new band and they appear impossible to get hold of. I think I'll see if MrsD will buy me a 3D printer! 😉

@jim @fozztexx.com That's great. Thank you very much.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Tuesday. Another warm but cloudy day forecast for today. Yesterday's was the same and it turned out to be blue skies, sunny and 6°C hotter than forecast!

Have an absolute belter of a day folks, enjoy what you do, have fun and stay safe. Bad puns and dad jokes are a bonus!

Today's random photo is from last week in the Strathclyde Country Park on the M74 motorway, near Motherwell. I called it "Chicken of the Woods? Maybe". See ALT for more.

@FiStitchWitch Make the most of it while it lasts! Just in case they are correct. 😉

@Steampunk_Prof Puns! Puns! Puns! Someone needs punishment! 😀

@MennoWolff I have a feeling you told me this before! But you are, if course, correct!

My old Sunday school teacher used to say "Sex is bad for one". I used to reply " But it's lots of fun for two"!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Monday. More house hunting today to look forward to, even Wesley is fed up of it all. Decisions, decisions!

Have a great Monday everyone and don't forget to have fun, puns and dad jokes. Stay safe.

Today's photo is from Friday when we took Wesley to the beach at Cullen in Banffshire. His face is covered in sand as he likes to dig! Inside my car is like a beach now! That's his mum, MrsD there too. She doesn't dig! 😉

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Sunday. Did you see any aurora last night? I stayed up late and didn't see any thanks to the clouds. 😟 Oh well, more house hunting today, wish us luck.

Have a perfect Sunday everyone, stay safe, have fun and enjoy a good laugh. Bad puns and dad jokes are, of course, mandatory. 😉

Today's random photo is from earlier this week at Stirling. This is a medieval bridge where Mel Gibson defeated the English army! (See ALT text for real details.)

Would you rather have X-ray vision or Eurovision?

@MissingThePt Definitely x-ray vision.

I had a girlfriend with one tooth. I called her Juanita. It was right in the middle of her mouth, I also called her central eater!

Anyone watching this evening?

(if not, you might want to mute the hashtag)

NormanDunbar,
@NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot avatar

@demoographics I haven't watched Eurovision since the late 1960s or early 1970s. And I won't be watching tonight either.

@Tim_McTuffty @PaulNickson @GooseOfStrathearn @Silversnapples Too hot? It's 26°C in the NE of Scotland right now as I type. As the locals might say, "It's too effing hot"!
