Sunshine

I'm sitting in the garden just now, wondering where the sunshine comes from at this time of year. I would have thought it a bit late for weather like this in the beginning of October but I'm obviously wrong, the sun is shining and it's warm too. Okay, there are some clouds on there way but we wan't complain, can we.

The question is how long will the good weather last? Surely, not much longer now?

If it does though, I won't complain!!!

More Pic's

When I first started this blog I used my mobile phone to take snapshots and they were really popular. Unfortunately, the phone was in my jacket pocket but the jacket wasn't on my back whilst I was playing pool in a pub in Edinburgh.

After all these years, well, two or three, a new phone is on its way. I expect to get it on Saturday and will put up any decent snaps that turn up.

Hopefully, by then I'll have conquered the problem of the anonymous posts that are still appearing, fingers crossed, eh!!!


Oh, if you ever find out who the bugger that nicked my jacket and therefore my phone which was also my camera, then please let me know!!!

Apologies

I've been having some problems with other people posting here on my blog. I don't know who these people are but they do not have permission to post here. If any more turns up please accept my apologies, I will deal with this as soon as I can find out how. If anyone knows how to block this garbage I would appreciate it if you would let me know. 

How long will the summer last this year?

I enjoyed spring a lot this year, it was really nice - calm and warm. I must admit that it was so good that in the middle of April, up in Unst, I whipped of my breeks and jumped into the sea. It would be fair to say that it was refreshing.

Since then it has remained quite good, no sunburn but summer hasn't finished yet. With luck it'll last well into October because it always helps people's mood, if nothing else.

A recently planted Black Hawthorn has unfortunately been damaged by one of my friends. I won't tell you what Chris's name is but he was doing the lawn and buggered the tree with the strimmer. It's so thin and young that I'm going to try to get it to root again and hopefully get it back in for the spring next year. It was planted a few months ago and was coming on so well, fingers crossed that I can save it. If anyone has any tips on it I'd be grateful!!!

The Tall Ships Race

I haven't managed to spend any time in Lerwick for the Tall Ships race this this time around. I passed through on Thursday and couldn't miss the crowds of people enjoying themselves. I also spotted the tail-end of the march going down the Esplanade and the tops of a few masts but that was all I'm afraid.

I will see it next time around, no worries about that!!!
