Damn, that you went in but whoop whoop to going home again so soon.
I have one more week off then I am back meh!
Walking through the woods this morning,cursing the wind for being in the wrong direction.
Walking down one of my drag roads I spotted a fox coming toward me. I froze. It kept coming & as luck would have it,it went upwind of me. It was very relaxed,sniffing in Rabbit burrows,even sat down for a second or two. It came closer & closer till it was about 10feet from me, before wandering on up the hill. I thought the wind was not so bad after that!
Then a bit later I managed to get among my Roe deer. Again thanks to the wind!
Mind you I did get soaked through crawling on my belly through the wet grass! It was worth it though & the wind soon dried me off.

New gunk seems to be working. Actually, the old gunk was clearing the problem up (Otitis externa) but the new gunk is reducing the pain and itching as well. Smells like lens cleaning fluid - Isopropyl Alcohol based.

What a lovely start to the day I had today! 5AM and I wake to the sound of cat retching, followed by the unmistakable gurgle of the usual result. Fumble in bedside cabinet for torch, switch on and spot pile of cat vom on rug. Consider rolling over and going back to sleep but conscience got the better of me and I hauled my ass out of the pit and grabbed a few handsful of bog roll, cleared up the puke (not easy when a wide awake cat wants attention from her favourite human!) and flushed it. Then, back to the pit and the land (appropriately enough) of Nod. 6:30 and wife's alarm clock goes off so she can get to her 7:30 yoga class. I'm afraid that (most unusually) I didn't wave her off through the bedroom window since I was back to sleep (with cat snoring gently at my feet).

Finding one of my pets had miraculously got better in the night. She was bleeding from her lady bits last night, and today she looks fine
Maybe its 'lady time'?

Polish penfriend's BBQ, made from a washing machine drum with legs from a dentist's tool trolley:
A stump?

My son enrolling at College for the second half of his 2yr Motorsport Engineering Diploma and me finding out that although he is now 19 I don't have to pay anything towards the course. That saved me about a grand. "Phew!!!!"
Not so good point, went to go to gym before work this morning at 4:30 am car wouldn't start. Only had the car just under a month. Got owners manual out of glove box and went back indoors to see if it could come up with any suggestions, found nothing of any help. Did a few searches on a few forums and found nothing again. Phoned work at 6:30 to let them know I wouldn't be in and book me two days holiday. Went out to car to try it again, almost fired up but stalled and emitting clouds of smoke from exhaust. About to give up and go back in doors again when I thought maybe have a sniff in fuel tank as I'd filled it up on way home. Strong smell of petrol and you guessed it my car is a diesel. Phoned RAC and they quoted me £205 min. to drain tank put in some diesel and get it started. Then recieved call back to say they were sending a contractor and would only cost me £170. Sent eldest son to nearest Ford dealer and buy a new fuel filter, another £40, if I could have gone myself I could have got discount. Tank drained, new filter fitted and car now running like a dream again, just have to hope I haven't done any damage to the fuel pump now.
Went back to petrol station and filled up again, right stuff this time so £140 on fuel in two days. Petrol station has American Express adverts plastered all over the handles with the specific fuel taking up minimal room at the bottom. I saw the word Ultimate and assumed it was the diesel it was only on closer inspection I noticed unleaded in even smaller writing.
Phoned up work and cancelled tomorrows holiday, I'll have it Monday instead, last day out before my youngest goes back to school.

Reading stories about this guid Scot.
Jamie Fleeman, 1713-1778. (The Laird o'Widney's Feel.) by: Johnston, William G
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jamie Fleeman is probably Widney's maist faamous chiel. He wis born in e pairish o' Langside in e 'eer o' 1713. He wis fit wis caad in those airly days, a bittie fey, he wis lookit on as bein'glaiket n' simple. Bit wis he? Fin he wis a young loon he started wirkin' for the Laird o' Widney. Wirkin is maybe nae the richt wirdie tae eese, ye see in aalden days gey weel aff kinna fouk like lairds wid keep these haimalt kyn o' craiturs tae be their personal servants n' tae provide as weel a wee bittie o' enterteenment for them in the dark nichts. Noo appearantly the claes at Jamie wore wis maist oot o' the ordinar, a blue sark wi' a seckclaithe kyn o' coat. He seldom wore a bonnet nor a hat, n' so, wi his hair stunnin' on eyn n his starin', probin' een, he lookit as if he wis aye fleggit oot o' his wits. Wir telt asweel aat he hid an afa loud vyce n' aat it soonded as ***' he wis spikkin through his cooter.
In 1734 fin he wis twinty-one 'eer aul he fair dammered aabidy wi his great strength. Knockha' Castle jist ootside Neebra belanged til' the Laird o' Widney. On the nicht aat it wis burned doon Jamie saved the Laird's kist by pickin' it up n' throwin' it oot through the winda. Eeswally it nott three men tae lift it! Lots o' stories are telt aboot Jamie, aboot foo he cwid tell some o' the maist prodeegious o' lees, n' aboot foo he cwid mak feels oot o' fouk aat wis tryin' tae get the better o' him. Een o' m' faavrit examples o' this wis the time aat Jamie wis leadin' a donkey, as he gid by, ae lad cried aat him; 'Is that yer brither, Jamie?'
"Na, na, jist a casual acquaintance - like yersel", wis Jamie's reply.
There wis anither time fan some weel aff lads, fa's paatroneesin' menner fair turkit Jamie, met him on the road. In an afa posh vyce een o' them asked, "Hullo, Jamie, where are you going today?"
Withoot stoppin' or lookin' at them Jamie jist said, "A'm gaun tae hell."
Later on that day the same fouk met him fin he wis returnin' an' shouted at him, "Well, Jamie, and what were they doing in hell?"
Bit Jamie hid his answer ready for them. "Ye ken, jist the same's their daein here, lettin' in the rich an' keepin' oot the peer".
A young upstart o' a Laird hid eence miscomfitted Jamie, n' of coorse Jamie nivver forgot that. So ae day es young Laird wis on his wey tae visit the Laird o' Waterton, jist ootside Ellon, n' he needed tae ford the River Ythan. Seein' Jamie sittin' on the opposite bunk he shouted ower n' asked far the best placie wis tae cross. Jamie directed him tae the bittie o' the river far the deepest pool wis tae be fun. The young Laird jist managed tae scramble oot fair soakin' weet n' of coorse he wis gey ill teen wi' Jamie. 'Mercy, Laird", exclaimed Jamie, "A've seen geese n' dyucks crossin' there hunners o' times n' A'm sure yir horse his much langer legs than they hiv!"
The Laird o' Widney hidna been an afa hard maister tae wirk for, weel nae as far as Jamie wis concerned, n' so he wis free tae gyang n' come as he pleased. There wis naethin' Jamie liket mair than tae gyang stravaiggin' aboot the kwintryside. Ae day in the Simmer o' 1778 Jamie hid been daen jist aat fin he got fair soakit in an afa shooer o' rain, come nicht he lay doon in a barn tae dry, here a plank o' wid fell on his heid n' cut it open. Ae thing led tae anither an eventually a gey sick, weak Jamie fun his wye til' his sister's hoosie at Kinmundy. Jist afore Jamie deet he opened his een n' said in a strong, clear vyce, 'I am a Christian, dinna bury me like a beast."
Jamie is beeriet in the Kirkyaird at Langside far, in 1861, a gravesteen wis erected tae his memory wi' his last wirdies screived on it, 'Dinna bury me like a beast."
