Wesley has PTSD. 😐 Not Post Traumatic Stress Disorder but Put That Sock Down! He has stolen one of MrsD's socks and is currently being chased all over the house by MrsD. She hasn't yet cottoned on to shutting the door when he runs into a room....😐

Wesley is refusing to go for a wander this morning. 😧

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Friday. MrsD gets home today, or she will after Wesley and I pick her up that is! I suppose I better drag my backside to breakfast and Wesley out the door? Not in that order though, just in case!😉 Right then, I better get on. Have a great day. Have fun, laughs, hot chocolate and marshmallows. Take care. Happy Dolly Parton day. 9/25! Today's photo is Crocuses in flower at Brodie Castle. It's early for Crocuses, isn't it? These were taken just this week.

Went to bank Card works perfectly. Hmmm. None of the local supermarket ATM accept it though. 🙁

I'm reading microcontroller datasets in the bath! I think I need to get a life. MrsD agrees! Mind you, she's watching Coronation Street so maybe reading datasets in the bath isn't as sad! 🤣

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Tuesday. MrsD is at pilates today, then her car is in for a service and MOT. Should be fun. As rain is forecast, I shall be getting wet wandering with Wesley during pilates. I don't know if it's raining yet as it's still stupid o'clock and I'm awake. 😟 It might be when you read this later. Have a great day. Have fun, have laughs, have a nice day. Take care. Today's photo is a coo. (For @DoubleTreble@cupoftea.social who likes coos, and tea!)

I looked out the door while Wesley was having a last minute toilet break before bedtime. This is what I saw...(Open for full panorama)

@TrueNorthSpice@mastodon.world @kibcol1049@mstdn.social 100% spot on. 👍

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. MrsD is buggering off today, leaving Wesley and I bereft of female company! 😉 She's off to spend a couple of days with Pat over near New Deer. And no doubt fitting in a walk or two. I wonder what we boys will get up to in her absence? 😉😉😉 Have a damned fine Thursday. Speak to a stranger, say "Hello" at least. Have fun & laughs. Eat Fruit & Nut chocolate. Take care. Today's photo is a test of my phone's 50 times zoom. Difficult when hand-held.

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk I cannot imagine why they always go after benefits and not the tax evaders who scam the country out of a damned sight more than we pay in benefits! Maybe it's because donors? Or perhaps, it's too close to home? (Allegedly?)

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Sunday. Our last full day here. I suspect a wander into town, again, and some shade bathing for me! Have a great Sunday. Have fun, have laughs, have religion if you really must! Otherwise, have cake. Take care. Today's photo is an old one of Wesley when he was last on Islay, a couple of years ago. #DogsOfMastodon #DogsOfFedi

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Friday. As Pat called off lunch yesterday, due to a cold, we went to Inverness to get MrsD some "stuff", then Dornoch to the beach (and clothes shops) then Chanonry Point for the dolphins; they were missing! A good day out. Today? Not as much fun. Have a great Friday. Have fun, have laughs, have hot buttered scones (and coffee). Take care. Today's photo is some Sea Gooseberries washed up at Dornoch beach. These are Comb Jellies which tickle, not sting. 👍

Waiting for mum and dad to bring food. Five baby house martins, nesting on the hotel roof, peeking out of the nest.

@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social Arrakihs? I'm getting "Dune" images in my head now! 😉

@galacticstone@mastodon.social I'm so old, I've used a payphone (in rural Scotland) which still had button A and button B!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Saturday. A lazy day today. MrsD has just put the last of the holiday washing in the machine. I'm wandering around the village with Wesley and then we are off to Banff for some reason that currently escapes me!😉 Have a great day folks. Have fun, have laughs, have two bacon butties for breakfast. Take care. Today's photo is a Common Frog 🐸 which I rescued from the road yesterday and put in a garden that it was pointing at when picked up.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Wednesday. In the old days, today would be half-day closing for all shops. Remember? MrsD is off for a swim. I'm heading out with Wesley then on breakfast duties. After breakfast, who knows? Have a great day today. Have fun, have laughs, have hot buttered toast with golden syrup. Take care. Today's photo is a fish! A Tompot Blennie. (Who names these things? And what were they drinking?)

@Godfrey642@aus.social @benroyce@mastodon.social @kleisli@mastodon.social @luk_@mas.to @randahl@mastodon.social I have always admired the Australian system, ever since I heard about it from a (late) relative in Sydney. My only objection, if you can call it such, is that there is no "None of the above" option! 😉

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Saturday. Violent thunderstorm last night at home, says the house sitters, electric going on and off at random. Back on now and apparently the fridge and freezer are fine. They didn't mention the wine though. 🤔 Cloudy here today. Going for a wander. Have a great Saturday. Have fun, laughs, a shopping trip. Take care. (Is the fitba still on?) Today's photo is an interesting sign! See ALT for details.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Sunday. I'm knackered, standing around talking to people from 8AM to 5PM is exhausting. Next time I'm taking a seat! Today is hopefully a quiet day, MrsD has a short local walk today, which probably means I'm cleaning! Have a restful Sunday. Have fun, have laughs, have kippers and custard! Take care. (Joking about the kippers, have sponge pudding instead.) Today's photo is a 1 to 6 scale tractor, entirely 3d printed on our display yesterday. Made by George

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Wednesday. We've had a lie-in this morning, but now we're up and ready to head off to have lunch with Pat, postponed from last week. And, it's not raining. (Yet!). Whatever you are up to today, make sure to have fun, laughs, and a sherry trifle *with jelly*! (None of that southern nonsense about not having jelly in a trifle! 😉) Today's photo is a proper trifle, made by MrsD last Christmas. (Too early? 😉)

Hey! America, take note! Source: BBC https://share.google/QfJNs5KnknFRualjR China sentences official to death for taking $325 million in bribes.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Friday. I'm a tad embarrassed about how much of my book's text my copy editor has corrected! S/he's even spell checking my code! I have done fixing to do, but in the first 25% it seems mostly fine. Phew. Have a great Friday. Hope it's not too hot where you are, it's roasting here already. I'm suitably slimed up and covered. (I look like a dick!🤔) Have fun, have laughs, have Chocolate Digestives and coffee. Stay cool. Take care. Kookaburra! (Jay actually!)

@DoubleTreble@cupoftea.social Morning DTea. I posted a toot this morning and thought of you. (Coo alert!) A full night's sleep? Lucky for some. I don't remember my last full nighter. The OAP stuff is getting wearing. 😐 Have a good one, enjoy a cuppa. Cheers.

@ravensrod@mstdn.social @DoubleTreble@cupoftea.social One of the best coffee mugs ever! Or, you *can* use it for tea as well! Morning DTea.

Interesting My tablet has exactly the same app permissions as my phone but while my phone lets me access photos, my tablet doesn't. Both are the same manufacturer too. Hmmm. Anyway, here's a photo from my phone. It's the seagull which popped down to our balcony every day when we were there. (In Croatia.) I think it's most likely a Herring Gull.

@oleksandr@activitypub.natalenko.name @thomholwerda@exquisite.social "True story" and "Daily Mirror"? I wasn't expecting to read that this morning.😉

MrsD is making bread again... Me: What kind of bread and you making. MrsD: It's B, R, E, A, D. Me: ??? MrsD: Spelt bread! 😁😁😁

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Monday. MrsD is off for her Monday swim, I'm doing breakfast for later and having a wander with the Wesley dog. Later, we are going to look for a tree for the garden. Hopefully that's easier than finding new shoes or a dress for MrsD! Have a great day. Have fun, laughs, Custard Creams. Take care. Stay cool. Today's photo is a Red Scorpion fish. Don't step on these, they are nasty spiky and venomous!

@dbrgn@chaos.social @fribbledom@mastodon.social Boom! Boom!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I did in fact, LoL! 😀

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Friday. MrsD had a late night with the girls last night; and maybe just a little too much wine. 😉 Our guests from Leeds arrive later this morning, so I hope the hangover isn't too bad. I shall be administering to the "sick" today I suspect. Have a great, hangover-free day today. Have fun, have laughs, have the best day ever. Take care. (Coffee and Hob-Nobs too!) Today's photo is our local farmer's field of winter wheat, looking ready to harvest.

@suearcher@toot.wales Since we had all our light fittings replaced with LEDs, in our last house, blown bulbs are a thing of the past. The new house came with everything as LEDs when it was built. Still on the original bulbs 5 years old now!

@suearcher@toot.wales Morning Sue.

A riddle my dad told me, years ago. If it takes 6 men, six days to dig a hole, how many men and how long to dig half a hole?

@DoubleTreble@cupoftea.social Morning DTea. Good luck with the appointment. Love the "coffee" mug! I'd have just got one with the top line though, that works for any hobby! 😉 Cheers.

@PaulNickson@mastodon.social @galacticstone@mastodon.social Welcome to the oldies club! 😜

@itsfoss@mastodon.social @bettina@mastodon.nu I used to export books from my old Kindle mk 2 using just a USB lead. Obviously that doesn't deDRM them. Calibre can, I believe, do both, but it's been a few years since I used it. Might be worth looking into?

@davep@infosec.exchange Nicely done there, very nicely done. 👍

@returntosender@mas.to So true. So very true. 🤣

@alexadeswift@lgbtqia.space It did take my dad X few attempts to get me to understand it!

@Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social @suearcher@toot.wales Interesting. Have you dismantled it to see why yet? Or is that just me? 😉 Morning Alfred.

@delcj@mas.to @DeliaChristina@sfba.social No socks.

@robtherunt@cupoftea.social @sarahdalgulls@ecoevo.social I detect some cynicism there. You saved me some typing, thanks. 😉

@bms@mastodon.bsd.cafe @alexkidman@aus.social Let us not forget the exquisite lyrics to "Black Pudding Bertha".😁

I wonder if all the people who love sea glass jewellery, MrsD included, realise that it was recently broken glass on the beach!

@Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social Morning Alfred (and @suearcher@toot.wales too). Have a safe trip. 633kg of books? Sounds like my book collection before we moved up to Scotland. MrsD made me take most of them to the charity shops. 😭 Cheers.

@Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social @suearcher@toot.wales Ours looks to be "one piece" so when the LED blows, we have to replace the whole fitting. Very environmentally friendly I don't think. 😟
