Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

The property overlooking the sea is where my friend Nicky lived when she was in her teens. Her dad died and they had to sell the property to pay death duties. That was probably back in the 70s. It recently sold for over £2m.

Some of our bovine friends in what I thought was an adjacent field. As I crested the ridge I realised that the fields merged and I was surrounded by a 100 or more of the beasts. Never been so glad I'd lost some weight and was able to escape by climbing over a couple of high gates.

The best bit is Jazz, some of them where there is a lot of detail, like those taken in woods, are too big to post. So I have to reduce the size first. Somehow I discovered how to do it.

Makes you think though, back in the day we spent fortunes on cameras. And the pics they took are not a patch on what these phones can do just by pointing and clicking.

@Barnfred 55 great photos mate, looks a beautiful part of the world.

Got work finished up early and political geek that I am I gathered up all the manifestos that had dropped through the letterbox and read them with a beer and a chuckle.

One thing occurred to me though. How come some parties write to me directly but not my other half and vice versa? Is it the targeting of a particular audience (like male early 40s I mean) or is it maybe just making sure each household gets one flier regardless??

A wood of wild garlic. The aromas here were amazing.

Have you tried it Fred ? the leaves are so good . Don't eat them if you can get caught because it would be impossible to deny . We were given some a few years ago and they took a bit of getting started and then we moved !

Moved out. Waiting in daughter's bungalow while the removal men and our kids sort out delivery to the apartment. Gone really smoothly so far. it's only a mile from daughter's.

That's good to hear.

Fab pics again @Barnfred 55 . I agree about the way you can just take an amazing pic on your phone. No two week wait for your holiday photos to be developed and then find out they are all rubbish!

Alcohol free tonight. Mr F has gone out with his workmates so I'll be picking him up later.

No idea mate. I haven't had any flyers whatsoever. Mind you, if I did they'd probably go straight in the bin.

No I haven't tried cooking with it myself but have had it once in a pish restaurant down here this time of year.

Friday will be a day I am glued to the results coming in.

These are huge ones for NI but yet our count will still extend to Saturday ?

We all have to find our own Happy Place.

House move went brilliantly. Really pleased with apartment , relatively new and really good condition. Brilliant removal men and all the family mucking in. We
were able to move in to a beautifully furnished apartment. Just got to find where everything is! Beautiful gardens (no work involved Joey!) lawns, trees, shrubs and loads of wild life. Really pleased.
Had a telephone appointment with Consultant yesterday, they are going ahead with Radio Therapy on my big 'C'. Since I went on my new tablets (17 per day!) I am eating a lot better and have put a bit of weight back on.
