Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Sunday. If you are a mother then happy mothers' day. Have a great day everyone.

The wind is back! It's not supposed to be here until tomorrow. Bummer.

MrsD and I had a treat last night, a decent meal in an actual restaurant! Happy birthday to us! They let dogs in, so Wesley came too and behaved. Thankfully. He did have a mild bark when a beautiful Siberian Husky walked in though!

Today's photo is MrsD on Pittenweem Harbour, wrapped up against the sun!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Saturday. The wind, rain and snow have gone. Briefly, it's warmer but getting cold, wet and very windy again Sunday. Fun!

We had a rip to Dunfermline yesterday. Interesting place. MrsD impressed as it still has shops in the high street. We got cold and wet though. Came home and played board (bored?) Games all afternoon, with wine!

Have a great Saturday. Have fun, laughs, cake. Take care.

Today's photo is part of Dunfermline City Chambers. Gargoyles!

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. This week is flying past, isn't it? Or am I just old? (Both!) What's worse, is well soon be dicking with the clocks again. 🤬 Guess what MrsD is doing today? Yup, walking. I'm attempting to be a lazy slob so well see how that works out!😉

Have a great day folks. Have fun, laughs, coffee and cake (or tea if you must!). Take care. Enjoy Thursday.

Today's photo, from April 2016, is how I fixed a skipping CD player. Professionally!😉

What's the definition of "aspect"?
Something you'd get if you bent down in front of a chicken.

What's the definition of "acoustic"?
A wooden stick to play snooker.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Tuesday. MrsD is walking today, I shall be cleaning and sorting out my Arduino Assembly Language book which has come back from the editorial and tech reviewers.

Have a great day everyone, have fun, laughs, Old School Sponge and custard. Take care.

The farmer finished ploughing & harrowing the big field. I was right about not being able to harrow the last furrows as today's (extremely boring) photo shows!

I've just received an email from my publisher. My draft chapters are back from the editorial and technical reviewers.

I have got to check out their comments and adjust, or not, as appropriate. Must be fine by March 6th.

Joy!

Did you know that all military vessels in Sweden have a huge bar code on the side? So they can Scandinavian.
