Miserable old day, plenty of rain about. Get up a bit earlier than normal as mrs B is expecting her Visit Scotland inspector at noon. He arrives exactly at 12, and comments favourably on mrs B's facilities. I head for the Post Office at 1.30 to put an item in the mail, in time for the 2pm deadline. Nip into Somerfields on the way back to get the papers and a can or two for supper: chili con carne with sliced peaches and rice, yummy. As the sun goes down, the clouds break, leaving a golden sunset (pictures 3 and 4). Reports emerge about the missing walker in Rum. And a BBC presenter is seriously hurt when his jet-powered car leaves the road at speeds close on 300 mph near York. He ends up in ITU in a hospital in Leeds.

That BBC presenter was going so FAST!! WOW! He's lucky he didn't get killed. Lucky he didn't kill anyone else!
Beautiful pics. Hopefully the inspector gave Mrs B a good report.

Nice pics. Miserable day here today too. Needed to get out & do some shopping before the weekend rush. But it'll have to wait till Mon. Cloudy, gray, rainy, I'm staying in & cuddle up.
Hugs, Sugar

I expected Mrs B to pass the inspection! The sunset's beautiful. The BBc presenter should consider himself lucky to be alive, what a ridiculous speed to be doing even in a jet powered car! Jeannette xx

300 mph? It's a wonder he isn't dead! Sorry your weather is miserable; hurricane influenced? It's 62F here right now, sunny and with a little gentle breeze. I love this kind of weather and wish it would last longer; alas, I know our miserable weather is just around the corner!
