Things That Gladden The Heart

Looking forward to: two nights in August in an Embra New Town apartment for my birthday; a week in Tiree in Sept followed by a week NW Scotland showing Mrs SILH the glories of that part of the UK that most never see; two weeks in Andalucia (Seville/Granada/Cadiz etc) in October; and Planning for an H1 2019 6 month career break. You might think Mrs SILH is retiring from the NHS soon and 'taking her lump sum' - and you'd be right - one month today precisely :)
 
Quietly laughing at the prospect of my daughter and nephew attending the same Scottish Government meeting tomorrow.

One representing the business community the other the Scottish Government.:lol:


Also... After just one year at her new school my granddaughter has been elected 'pupil of the year'.
 
A bit confused , yesterday my mate Roger was cut 2 shots for his winning net 65. So he's now bang on 20 h/c.
Same comp i missed the buffer by 1 and i'm now up to 16.5 playing off 17 , but should this really gladden my heart :D .
 
Sat in scorching sun in the garden on a Friday night drinking quality beers brewed in the north of England without a care in the world.

Cheers to you all, from those I always agree with to those I always argue with. It’s just opinions. It’s just the internet. I’d share a beer with any of you. :)

But you'd argue which make of brew 😁

Some things you just can't buy.

Cheers

Each to their own but I always offer my craft beers to my friends to try. One thing I don’t skimp on is trying to introduce my pals to the beers I enjoy!

It's a shame that your football knowledge doesn't match that of your beer 😁😁😁😁👍👍
 
We were in the midweek medal on Wednesday and heard this almighty roar coming from Lumley Castle, sounded like a load of motorbikes thundering up there.
It all makes sense now...https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-en...rs-against-bullies-give-girl-prom-to-remember

Fair play to them. We have a motorcycle club near me that every year to a Santa Run. Loads (well into the hundreds) of bikes going past and it's a fantastic spectacle as well as for a good cause. Hopefully this girl's self esteem will have been given a real boost and she can go on and flourish
 
The Red Arrows flying in formation over the golf course today. No doubt on their way back to base. I just love to see them and wave like a lunatic - as if they can see me!

Oh and the mummy duck and 3 little ducks who have become the highlight of my rounds. I take peas and sweetcorn for them and call out "here ducky duck" and she quacks back and comes quickly for their food. Today she saw me before I called and her and the little ones waddled/sprinted as fast as their little legs could carry them - so flipping cute.

Can’t beat the Red Arrows in formation, smoke on. Seen them a number of times flying down The Mall towards Buckingham Palace; the pleasure never diminishes.

On the mother and baby front, we went out on the Bay of Fundy on Friday, the skipper’s last find of the day was Pierce, a female Humpback with this year’s calf. Chalk one off of Mrs. BiM’s bucket list.
