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

  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)

  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,...

  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 re...

  Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. Our visitors have left Yorkshire and are on their way to their first trip to Scotland, arriving tomorrow so MrsD will be in panic clean mode, even though I've already cleaned! Likewise, panic shopping and panic thinking of where to take them! Madness! Have a much better day than MrsD will be having! Have fun, have laughs, have chips with everything. Not fries, chips! Take care. Today's photo is missing, my tablet is refusing me access, som...

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

  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?

  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? 😉)

  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...

  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 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,...

  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?)

  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!

  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 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 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 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. Kook...

  Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Thursday. It's another boring hot sunny day. Sigh. More factor 50 then! I'm as slimy as a slimy thing in slimesville this holiday. Yuk. Have a great day, weather permitting. Have fun, have laughs, have plenty water. Stay cool. Take care. I saw this display last night and thought of @DoubleTreble@cupoftea.social .

  Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to a very sunny Sunday. We've heard from the house sitters that there is still (some) wine left! 😉 So good news from home. Wesley is also happy with Harry & Linda, so good news all around. Hopefully your Sunday will be full of good stuff too. Have fun, have laughs, have a little sing to yourself as if nobody is listening. Take care. Today's photo is a little Hoopoe. There were two by the sunbeds last night after everyone had gone. We were just p...

  Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. After last night's thunderstorm performance and the rain, well RAIN, it would be nice if it was cooler. It's not! Have a great day whatever you are doing. We're off to town, shopping! Have fun, laughs, a hearty breakfast. Take care. Today's photo is delayed, I'll try to get something nice later. Fingers and eyes crossed. ( o)(o )

  Good morning fellow Mastos and hello from Croatia. It's hot. Very hot. Exceedingly hot with a capital 'F'! We are an hour ahead too, so my brain is confused about what time it thinks it is, and what the clocks say. Never mind. Plan for the day? Stay cool, drink plenty, avoid alcohol. Hopefully you'll have a great day today. Have fun, laughs, everything you need. Take care. Today's photo is a partial view of Robinj. Taken from the promenade by MrsD, yesterday.

  PS. Does anyone read my ALT text every day? I'm interested. I read it on images I see, as there's usually more space to describe a scene there than in a toot. Just wondering.

  Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to another hot day, Saturday to be precise. Hopefully you got some sleep? From the forecast, today looks to be the last stupidly hot day. Have a great day, temperature permitting. Stay cool, stay covered up or factored to buggery! Have fun, have laughs, keep hydrated. Take care. Today's photo is a Grey Squirrel on the damp, dark steps down from Knaresborough Castle to the river. Tagging @MAJ1@beige.party

  Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. It's voting day up here in Scotland, so get out and vote! Neither Labour or the Tory scum will be getting my vote; and it's not going to reform Ltd either. Those parties can take a long walk off a short pier! Then, we are off to Keith for MrsD's haircut. Have a great voting day folks. Have fun, laughs, egg custard and jam. Take care. Today's photo is our neighbour's Bengal cat, Beau, trying to wind up Wesl...

  I've just been to vote and when I was leaving, I noticed a ballot box for the reform Ltd, Tory and Labour ballot papers! 😁
