Very Unwelcome News

Friends, it is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to let you know that our friend, colleague and fellow traveller, Goonergal has passed away, after a short but courageous battle with an aggressive cancer. Goonergal died last Monday night. Goonergal was a great supporter of this forum and...

Yes, you are right about secrets hurting people. It was all about 'saving face' and not about being honest and truthful. Living a lie like that must also have damaged them.

Yes it did damage them too, because I can now replay the past (I have a good memory), and I can understand how deeply hurt they were....
 
Afternoon here is very sunny. hope it is where you are. Communication let me down - well JKP - as 2 grandchildren arrived a day earlier than expected. Grandson very loathe to leave my lap until afternoon - teething - not me. Paw Patrol festival today.

Cat & Badger & Fox

The fox looks longingly at those cat biscuits...



Creative...yet another lighthouse...


My idea of putting a drop of peppermint oil in front of each cushion on the swing appears to be still deterring the badger, KissyKissy, from taking food or blankets off the swing. But the cats are still feeding off their dry biscuits. Most of the stray cats were coming in from the side of the swing to get at their cat biscuits anyway, and it hasn't affected the cats. Marmalade has just jumped up the front of the swing.he is not a coming in sideways cat!

Can I declare this a win? 3 nights on the trot.
I don't know what the fox is doing though, not until I see the current clips in a few days.


Me...last cup of tea from my flask...blue skies with white cotton wool clouds, sun, and a cold wind. I shall stay snuggled a bit longer in bed (with my living fur blanket) waiting for this day to warm up a tad!

Have a great day!

Not too bad @jjraak - the funicular is still closed and there were people working on it today. Such a fine day that I walked down the cliff steps and had fish and chips. The walk back up the cliff steps was a bit like the last push on the Eiger. I had brought my car down to a place about half a mile away just in case but neverthless it was 3 miles.

I never thought of the temptation you must suffer Dunelm with having good fish and chips on tap!

We have just been enjoying the sunshine sitting out in the garden until Farmer Bell up the road started slurrying.

You've got a real friend there Dandad!

That's perfect, @Krystyna23040

Hard to miss it.

It's just south of Six Rivers Falls, ok little place I suppose, but not a patch on the peace & tranquility you'll be getting once you arrive at the Plains
& You'll know if you missed your stop.

Next one is the legendary Four Canyon.

A lot more zen, so I'm told & the way down can be difficult, so it doesn't suit everyone, but those who make the journey do say it's like McGarrett Plains, just less 'busy'.

looked over the edge once, made me feel queasy, never fancied trying again.

( Btw, pop on over when you arrive, I'd love to meet you & Mr k.

Mmhh might just have a quiet word, see if I can get him to tone it down little....
...making the rest of us look bad.)

I am so looking forward to arriving at McGarrett Plains. It has definitely been a difficult journey since I came off the rails over Christmas.

We will drop in to see you as soon as we arrive.

Wildlife nighttime cameras

Cat Midnight, Cat Merlin, the Badger KissyKissy, & Fox Foxy Loxy ...
And a few more cats in between...


Creative is digital painting of Lighthouse #17


Yesterday loads of sun, so I put rocking chair in garden.
Lovely...
I can't stay there all day...
Can I?

Consequently I didn't download and edit any new sd cards...
So above video is one saved for such 'emergencies'...

Weather app says wall to wall sunshine today...

Have your best kind of day...I am going to...

Beautiful colours. Reminds me of early morning and the prospect of sunny days on the coast.
 
Good morning everyone on yet another splendid start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. Interesting 5.4 on the stab of mirth as a small chish and fips were consumed for breakfast at noon yesterday. Now I have to wait a few weeks sans treats. Got some washing to hang on the line and then I expect it will be a wander into town to inspect the menu at our local cafe. We certainly won’t be walking down and then up those cliff steps. Best wait until inner chimp chucks the experience in the bin (probably by the end of the week) and then it will be, “oh, now here’s an idea…” and off we jolly well go - well for the first bit. Art bit - some more squiggles that will now need some colour added to them. Have a smashing day if you can and sit in as much sunshine as you can grab. Best have some koffy and then get that washing out. Or is it the other way round? No, that’s silly.

Having problems with my new pacemaker. The last one ran 9 years without a hiccough, this one has long periods with an irregular heartbeat which I can feel it is not kicking in all the time it should, will have get onto Newcastle later.

Marjorie's off to Carlisle this am, but I will be on Zoom later to other old men, but didn't tell her so she will still go to Tai Chi which she needs!
Sometimes. it's better not to throw little stones in the mill pond, one gets a clearer view of one's reflection.:)

It's a glorious day in Cumbria and I shall have to put my hearing aids in so the birds start singing.

Best wishes to all

Morning all and it is sunny if chilly here. Two different grandchildren here today one who has come dressed as an angel to tell us the one minute version of the Easter story. @lindisfel sound advice from a wise tribal Elder. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art - is that washing hung out yet? @gennepher thanks for the creative which has the appearance of a minaret to me. I hope you can enjoy the sun with time in the rocking chair today. I'm off for some bloods to be taken shortly. How much fun can a guy have before lunch?
