Used to go to Pegwell bay to watch the hovercraft’s coming and going each summer in the 70s.

Did a few crossings in those. Remember one when it was a bit bouncy, lots of brown bags in use.

Constructing a magnificent balloon arch for my brother in laws 50th…. Michelangelo would have carked it from his erection at the perfection of it - I know I nearly have. Meanwhile my aging mother is dancing to Buju Banton on the dance floor - a stupendous day.

Treating myself to a swish phone/camera. Only ever went for cheap phones until now. My previous mobile was purchased in Dec 2018 and was slowly dying. Now have a Samsung S24 Ultra, no less. Ooh, fancy!

On my last day on Fetlar, enjoying the superb hospitality of @pmac - many thanks Paul! A final birding trip round the thickets of Funzie and Tresta before the evening ferry back to Yell, and the Burravoe campsite again.

You were very welcome, Dave.
I enjoyed having you here, it was good to see you again. Thank you for the bottle of wine you left in the porch (and the whisky & beer we enjoyed!)

Discovering (dinner time) that my fridge thermostat has failed 
. The freezer’s fine, thank goodness, but all the same I’ll have to jury-rig something to keep the fridge cold while I can get a spare.

Eventually rid ourselves of our guests, who are lovely people for about 6 hours, before her obsessive-compulsive cat-simpering (“…they’re just little people with REAL personalities and such deep wisdom, &c, &c, &c, &c, &c…” She’s 68), and his ability to breathe through his arsehole while conducting unstoppable monologues about his favourite subject (himself) both wear painfully thin - making three days of it … tiring… 
…once gone, we beat a retreat to the garden to enjoy the patchy sun and some very stiff tumblers of lemongrass-infused ice and tonic water that was heavily diluted with Tanqueray gin…
Churz!
