Contrary to expectations, it's raining in Slano and Ston! Thunder and lightning too. Time for an early night. Local time is BST+1.

Night all.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Tuesday. Last night we went to bed in Korčula and this morning we are motoring up the coast to Vis, another Croation island. We have just stopped for a two hour swim break for those who like a cool bath in the morning!

We have news from home. The house sitters report that they have not started on our wine yet!

Have a great Tuesday everyone, stay safe, keep well, have fun and tell bad, dad, jokes! You know it makes sense. 😉

Today's photo is a Carpenter Bee.

Good morning MrD 🙂

What a what a way to start the day!

Our youngest is on a Norwegian fjord cruise, so jealous of him too.

It looks it, plus the aurora should be brilliant at the moment as the big spot cluster is pointing at Earth again.

My wife and I are looking at a possible cruise next year now.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Monday. MrsD and I are currently under way on a small boat from Slano to wherever we are going today. Departure time was 05:00 this morning which is really 04:00 to our BST enabled body clocks!

Have a great day today, yes I know it's Monday, and don't forget to have fun. Stay safe.

Today's random photo is the view from the boat where we tied up last night in Slano. Lots of Cypress trees.

Good morning MrD and MrsD.

Glad to see and hear you are enjoying your holiday. You are missing the sunshine and heat over here 🙂. I've ordered some rain for your return.

Really feeling like I have lost my "Raspberry Pi Mojo" these days. I've lost / lessened the skills that I took for granted and it is biting me in the butt.

Hugs,! Feeling like that myself. Too little time to do much now.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. Guess what? It's raining. I bet you never saw that coming!

A big day for Wesley today, he has a hair appointment this morning. He doesn't like having his hair done and he will make the 25 minute walk to the groomers take about an hour! Even though the route is on one of his usual walks, he knows when it's haircut day!

Today's random photo is from yesterday and shows a couple of blue Iris flowers growing in my pond.

😱😱😱😱 It's raining? 😱😱😱😱

Good morning to you MrD, MrsD and poor Wesley.

We have rain later, hopefully I won't be out in it.

Still enjoying the peace and quiet here. The wife and children are currently in their beds, and the pup is on holiday. I am having a bowl of porridge (non Scottish format) on my own as they are all going out for a cooked breakfast again.

The lilies look lovely.

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. 😉

Good morning to you MrD.

We managed to squeeze the last drops of sunshine out of the bank holiday before the rain, came with the children on the water slide before tea.

Have a good day, especially now your plumbing issue is behind you.

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.

Good morning to you too MrD.

I was going to wish you luck yesterday but got side tracked but it seems you didn't need it anyway 🙂

We're packing the pup off for a few days as part of his training, so off to Weymouth to drop him off and give the children a trip to Weymouth.

Our old car so far today (Nissan Sunny) 😁

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 to you all.

Welcome back home safely.

Have you decided on a place to move to or have you still got to weigh up the options you visited.

We have rain forecast but not till tonight, currently stuck with sunshine and blue skies 😁

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.

It's been raining on and off since late yesterday afternoon and the sky is a gloomy grey. Sadly no thunder and lightning last night.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Monday. Today we have a meeting with the sales manager of a house builders and a rental to view before a long drive home. Should be "fun". Hopefully your day will be better than ours looks! Take care, have fun, stay safe. Or else! 😉 Have a great Monday.

Today's random photo is from yesterday and I think these are called Sea Pinks. These were shot on Hopeman beach.

Good morning to you MrD 🙂

Sounds like your house move is getting a bit more complicated!

Have a safe journey home today.

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.

Enjoy your day of rest 🙂

I've just finished the ironing for now, so that's the laundry up to date and the guinea pig cleaned out. Taking one of the children to swimming next.

Out for lunch, then no idea what is next.

I don't think it's the plant, the leaves are different but thanks for looking.

Glad to hear Wesley's had a good day, with so many beaches too. We just visited one of the local forests for a short walk as pup's not supposed to do more than about an hour.

Another enjoyable time out for pup today. This rhododendron tunnel was on a 30-40° slope and was fun to walk through.

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!

Steampunk_Prof,
@Steampunk_Prof@mastodon.social avatar

@NormanDunbar
At least you have a nice area to stay in.

Fog would be nice, it's raining here. We're going out for our lunch today, to celebrate for next week with our family.

Hopefully it won't be long before you find somewhere you fall in love with. Then it's just the pain of having to move.

Enjoy your meal tonight.

Ouch, that's not on! I imagine you're going to complain and leave a bad review, we would. Mind you, we called the health & safety department responsible for Pontins - Brean Sands because the chalet was terrible, still not as bad as the Pontins at Southport where we had bed bugs and turned down the next one because of the enormous fungus in the kitchen. Still, at least you got to keep up your plumbing skills.
