FRIDAY

 I had an early start to the day having woken at 4.30 and couldn't get back to sleep.

It's a cracker of a day here and I'm thinking about taking the kayak out seeing that the water is so calm.




I've had breakfast and done my 'chores' (set the bread to bake, cleaned both dishwasher drawers and set them to run on a short cycle with baking soda in them, used 'Drano' down all the plug-holes and put a suitable derogatory comment on Richard's post). I'm all set to go.

It's amazing how changeable the weather is. Over the last two days we've had a big storm with high winds and lashings of rain - now it's calm as anything.

There have been orca and dolphin in the bays over the last week. I doubt if I'll see any though as they seem to favour rougher water for some reason.

This little family of orca were videoed in Urquarts Bay which is three bays away from McLeod Bay. a few days ago.

I think I preferred the dental post.

You're becoming more curmudgeonly than me. I hope you lighten up after your dental work.
Get Robert to give your tummy a tickle next time you are being vulnerable.

Hey! Why aren't my comments being published on this blog?
I bet that they're going straight to the spam file.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Stop being so bloody vulnerable!

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Robert has a lot to answer for over that deleted post.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Maybe he was feeling a bit vulnerable about the post?

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Well, I'm not tickling his belly if that's what he's after.

Come on, help out a vulnerable friend. You could scratch his balls for him too.
