Love this variation on the polychromatic brick style of industrial building, using a mix of glazed and unglazed bricks. These windows are on the former sawmill offices on Craighall Road in Glasgow designed by George Bell and constructed in 1893.

Morning stroll.

Ran with the Collie (12k, concrete road, some track) and then returned to take my mums elderly terrier for her 2k walk. Clearly the pair of them have had a disagreement overnight. They still are not talking after breakfast.

@Wen Out of curiosity. How long does that take? If I do long rural walks, by the time I've had a shower there's not enough day left. When I see people posting long daily runs or doing 10k or even 25k steps every day I wonder how they have time to do anything else.
The Collie & 'friend' photo is funny.

@Delphi@mastodon.scot avatar

@Wen I've never been that fit! The longest walk I've done in a day is 28 miles. I think I'd like to work up to that distance again. A dog is on my list for when I'm in a better open space. Even the garden here isn't fenced, so not good for a dog. Used to have a lab. I can imagine a collie keeps you on your toes, they aren't built for relaxing😂 I love to watch working dogs at shows.

@Wen The moonlighting is great. You sound like the perfect people to have a collie. What a lucky dog.

A question to start today: Why is constructing the building on the left be VAT-free, while renovating the historic building on the right and converting it to a new purpose is not? To me, this is completely the wrong way round and such tax rules are undoubtedly contributing to what seems to be the rapidly-accelerating loss of our built heritage.

@thisismyglasgow That's insane...
but my guess at the answer to your question is that it depends on who is making money out of the projects.

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,
@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.

Of course not.

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.
