A tree in Tenerife in blossom with orange flowers. There's a block of flats behind and to the right. There are lower buildings to the side. The sky is blue and cloudless.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Thursday. Hope you slept well. I was kept awake by the rain last night, which is annoying. However MrsD got up early and has taken Wesley out for wander, so I got a lie in.

Have a belter of a day, have fun, stay safe and never laugh at other people's misfortunes. Unless they are Tories!! 😉

Today's random photo is especially for @DoubleTreble and the @weirdfolks. it's a Highland Coo, but not as you know it!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to Wednesday. Tne weather is fine here today, wherever I am. Another driving day today, you'll be glad to hear, very few bad puns and dad jokes!

Have a great day without me, take care and have lots of fun.

Today's random photo is from Buckden in Upper Wharfedale and is titled "Dandelions need living too"!

@Delphi@mastodon.scot avatar

@NormanDunbar I've got a thing about photos with flowers & rocks (even if it is concrete & dandelions). Weather is fine & dull here. I like dull maybe because I grew up in Blackpool & sunshine meant hoards of tourists everywhere. I took the photo in Iceland.

Overheard from a passer-by just now:

“There’s one in Dornoch. There was one in Tain, but it got vandalised.”

You can now join me in wondering what they were talking about.

It hasn't happened yet but the offer of a paid for #covid vaccine is promised in the #UK

#Luctrative for the #seller. I wonder how many #Tories have a finger in that #profit margin.

If you're already living in #poverty now you'll have an extra worry. To #HeatOrEat we can now add or get #sick.

A #country I was once proud to belong to, now turns my stomach.

Firefighters make repeated attempts to “rescue” a supposedly stranded cat, who then just wanders in through a window the next morning.

@bampot It's a pain in the posterior in England & all we can do is strategically vote to get Tories out. As for Scotland, I'm celebrating when you get independence & we're saving to move.

MrsD just saw what she thinks was a mink running across our garden! This is not good news.

Why is 'uptick' being used instead of 'increase'?
Is there also an urban word for decrease?

Got the funny feeling the socket shouldn't look like this...

@ceilidhman Have you been in my office? It looks like it from the picture!

Delphi,
@Delphi@mastodon.scot avatar

@ceilidhman Perhaps they hope for a big insurance claim. I have a clear photo of the socket which I will send to their insurers if the building goes up. On one fire-drill (not told it's a drill until after) they left a lady with a disability in the stairwell (where someone is supposed to go & evacuate them). She didn't know it was a drill & had a very tense 30 minutes. The company didn't apologise & just said it was a drill so they didn't need to get her!

@Penguinflight @ceilidhman Scary stuff. I thought my brother's house with 1970s wiring was bad enough. Hope it's all safe now.

@bringbackmasksbc @covid @covid19 @covidisairborne @auscovid19 @longcovid I don't do selfies but we've worn FFP3 (N99) masks since we learnt covid was airbourne in 2020. We never, ever, leave the house without masks - even outdoors. Still covid-zero.
