The Canada geese and ducks are back! The last pic was an experiment; I shot the goose through the weeping willow branches as it passed in front of a fountain which was giving off a faint rainbow.

I got out for a walk today and Kahlua was posted up at the window in the "cool fort" to watch me go.

The regime can't afford to document its crimes. THAT's why no one is parading video of the destruction of schools and hospitals... they're all exhibits for The Hague.

We live out in the boonies in Scotland, and they have a book exchange at the local post office and the petrol station.

I started a "Covid beard" at the beginning of lockdown, and I just can't bear to part with it. I guess you could say it's "grown on me."๐Ÿ˜†

They do them here in Louisville, too, mostly for paperback book exchanges or pet and personal supplies for homeless folks. One lady maintains an honour box in her cats name just for pet stuff.

This is the "honour box" in our glen. A neighbor puts out cartons of eggs, jams and sweets she's baked with the price list, and you just take what you want and put the money in an abalone shell. Very nice, indeed!

My mate just rang me and said, "What are you doing at the moment?"
I said, "Probably failing my driving test."
