About me

Baking

And I specially like baking cake. Problem is I also like eating cake. So when it's just me'n'MrS here I try not to bake too often. I know there's DogS too but cake isn't very good for dogs. You see MrS is very good at "saving things for later". But I'm very greedy, and hate…Read more Baking

Getting dressed up

Whether for stage or fancy dress Weddings that's me in my black wedding dress, and as a guest. Or just for the heck of it. Though I wasn't all dressed up just for a paddle. MrS was attending an event. But no excuse except sunshine and a summer fair for the second pic. And that…Read more Getting dressed up

Bubbles

And here I am with MrS being showered with them just after our wedding. Of course this is just a device . I've made myself a bit of a strait jacket, having to write about things I like. So the pretty soapy bubbles. But you know what that's rhyming slang for? You see I actually…Read more Bubbles

Wildflowers

I like all types of flowers, but there's something really special about flowers growing by themselves without any help from us. That's why I picked dandelions as my header image. Perhaps you call them weeds but I think they're a bit wonderful. Plus bees love them, they are often their source of pollen in early…Read more Wildflowers

A Very Scandi Scandal

Not sure why, but I've never seen any of the Scandi noir TV shows. I missed out on Sarah Lund and her sweater and had to Google to find the names of the detectives in The Bridge* I don't know, perhaps I missed the launch episodes and then didn't want want to be late…Read more A Very Scandi Scandal

..a challenge.

So I'm challenging myself to post, "every day in May" . It's not an original idea a friend is taking part in 5k every day in May where NHS workers are running or cycling 5k every day in May as a way to say "Thank you". Let that one sink in for a moment. Now I can't…Read more ..a challenge.

Sunny Monday mornings

We have had the most gorgeous Autumn so far. I live in Argyll which is in the west of Scotland, it's a beautiful area but often wet. Our prevailing wind is from the west so it scoops up moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and releases it as rain over us. Well, that's what usually happens.…Read more Sunny Monday mornings

Dancing* and dogs

But dancing dogs not so much. Anyway, last night I did a lot of dancing. My feet are complaining today, always the sign of a good party I'd say. We whirled and shimmied and stamped the night away. With the result that today, despite our "extra" hour in bed, I'm rather tired. And nearing the…Read more Dancing* and dogs

Zebra crossings

You know, the non automated crossings, heralded by Belisha beacons (as seen above but with a usually less watery setting). Often staffed by cheery men and women in Hi-Vis raincoats. Perhaps you don't have them where you live? I like them because they give back power to the pedestrian. If someone is waiting, the car…Read more Zebra crossings
