Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Tuesday. We are back home in Yorkshire after a long day driving yesterday. Looks like it might rain which comes as a surprise after the great weather we had up north.

I hope you all have a perfect day today. Remember to have fun, no matter what you are up to. Stay safe.

Today's random photo is from last week in Buckpool. It makes me wonder what happened to the cyclists!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Thursday. Hope you slept well. I was kept awake by the rain last night, which is annoying. However MrsD got up early and has taken Wesley out for wander, so I got a lie in.

Have a belter of a day, have fun, stay safe and never laugh at other people's misfortunes. Unless they are Tories!! 😉

Today's random photo is especially for @DoubleTreble and the @weirdfolks. it's a Highland Coo, but not as you know it!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Monday. It's sunny and dry! Until lunchtime anyway, so get your washing out and dried before then!

Have a great day everyone, don't forget to enjoy a bad pun and some dad jokes, you'll thank me later for the groans! 😉

Today's random photo is Wild Garlic. This grows in abundance around here and my garden is full of it just now. The flowers smell of garlic too, and you can eat all of the plant. Yum.

This #PostOffice scandal in the UK. I'm a retired DBA, I had access to everything in every database under my control.

I'm puzzled that anyone in IT would believe that "there's no way Fujitsu staff can access the individual post office accounts; or change values".

This is complete garbage! Any DBA looking after the database can do what they like with the data, and if they wished, cover their tracks too!

It beggars belief that anyone would believe otherwise!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Saturday. Today is the 27th anniversary of MrsD and myself. As MrsD would often say "I'd be out by now, for murder"! 😉

I have no idea what we will be doing today. We should be travelling home, but much indecision on MrsD's part, re houses, means we could be here a wee bit longer. Hopefully, your choices for today will be better! Have a good one, stay safe, have fun.

Today's photo is from Cummingston, near Hopeman. There's an awful lot of Gorse!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Friday. MrsD will be finishing her walk from Bradford cathedral to Ripon cathedral today, only 12 miles! Me? I'm on doggy duties.

Have a great day everyone and don't forget to laugh. It's good for you. Take care.

Today's photo is from yesterday and I call it "pink snow". One cherry tree has covered three houses and lawns with blossom petals.

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. 😟

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.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to the weekend. And it's not even raining! (Yet!)

MrsD is not walking today, apart from with me and Wesley.

Have a great weekend, starting today

I took this photo yesterday while walking Wesley. It looks like it might be time to "cast a cloot" as the May is indeed "oot"!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Sunday. Today is a day of rest in the house hunting safari, but no doubt MrsD will deem it necessary to walk the length and breadth of Scotland before lunch!

Have a great and peaceful day everyone, have fun with lots of laughter. Stay safe.

Today's photo is from yesterday and is a Grey Heron catching small fish, by the remains of the "Old" New Bridge on the River Lossie. There's was a new New Bridge built further downstream a couple of years ago.

What Australian monotreme do you have if you find a mangy old alley cat, in your garden, eating a mallard? A duck filled tatty puss.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to another bank holiday Monday. Looks like the weather is back on form for today, it's raining! No surprises there then.

Yesterday's bath leak fixing job seems to have been a success! MrsD and I shared a bath last night (TMI?) and there were no leaks during bath time or afterwards when the plug came out! 👍

Enjoy your BH Monday, or just your Monday as appropriate. Have fun, take care.

Today's photo is from yesterday. It's a Garden Snail on a wet tree stump.

One of my lizards was a bit highly strung, all the time. I took her to the vet who examined her and prescribed animal valium. Three tablets to be taken. It worked! She's a calmer, calmer, calmer chameleon now.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Wednesday. Tne weather is fine here today, wherever I am. Another driving day today, you'll be glad to hear, very few bad puns and dad jokes!

Have a great day without me, take care and have lots of fun.

Those damned teatime dishes are still not washing themselves! Looks like I'm going to have to do them, again!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Tuesday. No rain today!!! MrsD is off for a swim and Wesley and I are just about to sort out breakfast and go for a wee outside. I should be ready for one by then! 😁

Have a great day folks. Don't forget to forward me any dad jokes and bad puns, you know it makes me happy! Have fun. Stay safe.

Today's random photo is from April 2023 in the Japanese Gardens in Horsforth, Leeds.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Monday. MrsD is walking again today and she's taking Wesley. She's also taking me!!! Hmmm. Hopefully not the 10 and 12 miles that she did last week! My arthritis won't stand for that. Also, thunderstorms predicted for later. Oh hum.

Have a great day, even if it is Monday. Have some fun and lots of laughs. Stay safe.

Today's photo is one I took yesterday evening. Is a few of the flowers on MrsD's blueberry plant. Looks like we'll get a crop again this year.

I remember, many years ago, MrsD told me that Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees had died. I didn't believe her at the time, but then I saw her face.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Friday. Not long to go to the weekend plus, there's another bank holiday on Monday. Why do banks need so many holidays I wonder?

According to the forecast, the weather is doing the "wrong" thing and is actually getting better in time for the holiday. We truly have broken the climate if this is the case! 😉

Have a belter of a Friday. Have fun, whatever you do, lots of laughter and stay safe.

Today's photo is dedicated to @MaJ1 & @weirdfolks See ALT text.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Tuesday which, due to the bank holiday, is currently acting as a Monday, being the first working day of the week. And it's still raining, even though the bank holiday is over.

Have a grand day regardless. Make sure you have fun and don't forget to laugh a lot. Take care.

Today's random photo is from 22nd February 2012. It's a female Common Frog heading through the garden to meet up with the boys in the pond. 😉
