Feeling happy.

Just now had a message from some dear friends who we haven't seen for a while inviting us to go out for a meal with them.  They run two superb cafes in the area.  We were here for them when they first moved here but due to my lung problems have not of late visited the cafes, people and colds and etc.  I avoid.  They are going to pick us up and take us for a meal.  I have said yes thank you.  Earlier this evening I had said to the DP I haven't had any fun lately.  So perfect timing.

Earlier we went to the Prom.

Much cooler today.

So I found it easier to walk to the Kessock Burn.

Say hello to the Gull Gang.

Watch the boats.

The latter seemed to be a way of transporting all the stuff needed for a visit to the beach rather than anything else.

Back home and in the Shedudio.  It rained.  Sith in the dry on the veranda.

A young Robin changing the colour of its feathers.

Two of my three hanging baskets blooming fantastic.  Bees loving them.  The third is a bit high up for a decent photo.  But blooming also. 

As is the side garden, kitchen side.  Rose of Sharon is the yellow one.  Some sort of Spirea the white one?

At the moment this lot are the bane of my life.  Starlings.  Lots of.  Descending into the garden, eating all the food, bullying everything else. Stressing me out totally.  Any ideas?
