Today’s picture comes from my daughter Annie The weather is obviously better down in London than it is here. Mind you, that wouldn’t be difficult as we had another very wet and windy day here which ruled out cycling altogether. In fact it wasn’t a day that was much good for anything and in theContinue reading “Tripped up”

I went on a journey
Today’s picture, amazingly enough, is a blue footed booby from the Galapagos Islands sent to me by Dropscone’s niece and taken by her sister-in-law. This is a step up from a sparrow. I can’t imagine why it is called blue footed. When Dropscone heard that I was putting a picture of a blue footed boobyContinue reading “I went on a journey”
Dumped
Today’s picture is a blackbird. There seem to be a lot of them in the garden just now. The day started with a visit to Annan to see my usual physiotherapist. I repose great faith in her and I hope that it proves to be justified this time. She gave me a course of UltrasoundContinue reading “Dumped”
Sight seeing
Today’s picture is of the elusive coal tit at last. There was no cycling today since I had to go to Carlisle Infirmary for a sight test. Mrs Tootlepedal kindly came with me because I was to have eye drops and would not be able to drive after the test. There was a striking rainbowContinue reading “Sight seeing”
Restful day
Today’s picture was taken on the A7 going up the valley towards Mosspaul. After a busy day yesterday for Mrs Tootlepedal with walking and dancing and for me with a round of golf, we rose late and enjoyed a breakfast in the early morning sunshine. By coincidence, Mrs Tootlepedal took this picture over the breakfastContinue reading “Restful day”
New bread excitement
Today’s flower is a hydrangea. It is past its best but it still provides a home for what seems like a hundred birds. Since we had no B&Bs for Mrs Tootlepedal to provide breakfast, we enjoyed a small lie-in. After breakfast I went up to the town to purchase some kidneys and mince for forthcomingContinue reading “New bread excitement”
A second cycle
Today’s flower is a rose. I wonder how many more different flowers I can find in Mrs Tootlepedal’s garden before winter comes. We had an unexpected morning visit from an old friend who, after a varied career including being a retainer of the late Queen Mother, has found a vocation for being a priest andContinue reading “A second cycle”
Raspberries
Today’s flower is a rose I am still stuck at home with my knee but it is improving and I hope to be able to make a small expedition by the weekend. All this means that I have plenty of time for sitting in front of the computer and playing (though I did nip outContinue reading “Raspberries”
Street Party Time
Because this year’s Langholm Cornet lives on the corner of Wauchope Street and Wauchope Place, the inhabitants of both streets got together to throw a party for him today. There was lashings of grub, (Mrs Tootlepedal contributed vast supplies of well roasted chicken legs), ample supplies of drink and as the afternoon went on, we wereContinue reading “Street Party Time”
Tootling and Pedalling – it’s the life!
This is my first post on the blog so excuse me if it is rather dull. I went for a bike ride yesterday. I am going for another ride tomorrow. Yesterday I went for a recorder practice with the group I play with. Life goes on.
