    Moved to Caithness recently. It’s our first house, so it feels like my life is DIY these days. At least we’ve had some lovely weather though!

      Excellent to hear, Caithness needs fresh blood. Have you booked your Sinkys trip yet? Need to have something to look forward to after all that DIY

        Not yet, but I’ve seen it around. It looks bloody lovely! The true problem here is finding a driver. Maybe it’s worth splashing out on a taxi so I can have a drink!

    Was at a cèilidh last night, had a cracking time. Long-buried memories of school PE came rushing back to the surface in the first two bars of each dance. I made a terrible choice of footwear though, I was skating about like a dog on ice

    There’s absolute heaps of wild garlic down by the river near me, so I might go do some foraging. I just need to double-check my reading because while the garlic smell is powerful, there are a couple of very similar-looking plants that grow in the same places and are poisonous

    Did a lot of walking yesterday. Today up early but the plan is to be lazy other than that. Hope yous are having a good weekend in some way.

      Weather was glorious for it. I’ve been out of action over the winter but I’m itching to get my boots on again

        Think I should’ve drank a bit more. Headachey after all that walking. But overall enjoyed it. Hoping to get out a lot more this summer.

          Gotta be careful with that. Every time I take my giant water bottle with me I resent it being heavy in my bag for the first half and then am relieved I brought it in the second
