Random Irritations

The last week I’ve been alternating between walking to the duck pond or around the canal.
The canal is fine, everyone social distancing as much as possible.
As for the duck pond, the amount of people driving here then taking there dogs out of the car to go for their daily exercise is scary.
Also at the Scottish Natural Heritage offices, cars getting dumped so they can then walk around the golf course.
Even seen a family stick on there rucksacks and away they go, an absolute joke.

This surprises me tbh.
i fully get he’s marmite and wouldn’t try and convert anyone, but some of the things just A few pages ago made me think you’d like his sort of stuff. He’s all over the faux sympathy posts etc.

I really didn’t like the office. the. Saw his stand up and have been hooked ever since.

Afterlife imo is outstanding. Binged both series this last week.

anyways, I’ll raise anyones suggestions to Lee Evans. The second he couldn’t run around on stage looking like an idiot and distracting people from the fact his jokes are awful, he quit.

Can't stand him whatsoever, don't find him in the slightest bit funny that goes for his TV programmes, stand up or hosting of events. Even when he comes on for an interview I turn off.

We stop by on the way back as we always take bread for the ducks.
I know we are lucky to have all this on our door step, but the selfishness of some people is unbelievable.
 
Idiots with kids playing with bucket and spades in the Club's bunkers.

Other idiots cycling up the fairway and straight across the green !!

More idiots with dogs on the course throwing balls to 'play' fetch.
 
I am using evenings and weekend days to sort through thousands of photographs that we have in the loft; not in photo albums - and largely having fallen out of their photo-envelopes. And just when I start to think I have broken the back of it - I find another box or small case packed to the gunwales with hundreds more :(

But my Mrs is feeling very grateful as she has wanted this done for about ten years...:)

As I said to my wife. What is the point of keeping 20 pictures of - say - the ruins of Jumieges Abbey in Normandy - taken in the days before we had our own computer and access to the internet...Maybe a handful where the family are grinning into the camera...but of ruins? Nah - bin for that lot. So much expense for so little present day benefit.
 
We have a cocker spaniel and clip her ourselves. We bought proper clippers, have been doing it for years now. For some reason she has taken the hump when we do her feet. We now have to use scissors and we just can't them looking as sharp. We did her this afternoon, she is lovely and smooth apart from 4 scrappy looking paws ?.
 
When the just eat app messes up and sends my order to the wrong address (just randomly changed it for no reason), the recipients kept their free meal!

I thankfully got a refund.

When this (lockdown) is all over I will drop a card through their door (they live nearby) and let them know it was on the house and not me, you know, just in case they were worried.
