I was meaning that in one way it’s very close, but to actually get there it’s a whole other thing. We’ve only been here 24hrs but seen all the autumn weather. The bracken is changing in the mountains s and the trees are turning, it really is a beautiful time.

In a straight line it’s 12km from Plockton - or 54km by road.

Yup - I was too warm in the afternoon, and now there is lightning and torrential rain, freezing wind.

Lovetember 22nd. “What shall I do as my photograph today?” “Make me a cup of ginger tea and take a picture of it.” Cheeky, but it worked. #lovetember
A glass jar of ginger pieces sits next to a mug with a strainer in it.

By strange coincidence Jo and I are headed to Sheppey today and I’ve been trying to reassure her that nothing is going to explode.

Lovetember 13th. Out and about. #lovetember
A very rundown looking second hand shop with a couple of mobility scooters parked in front of it. Red brick and paint. Some steps to the side. The window full of random bits nobody could want.

I am considering “your dog, your poop” as a companion phrase to “not my circus, not my monkeys”

Lovetember 10th. I think what happened here was someone sprayed SCOTIA and someone even dumber thought they’d finish it off with ND. #lovetember
A pair of idiots have sprayed SCOTIAND on a wall.

I’m always amazed at the number of news reports featuring revelations that we knew thirty years ago.

Lovetember 7th. Why yes it does smell of wee. Why do you ask? #lovetember
An underpass of the type you see in many British towns. Decorated with entirely inept “graffiti” (it’s just angry scrawling, no-one here has any clue), you can smell the urine by just looking at the photo for long enough.

I'm seeing the novelisation of this a bit like Cannery Row, but you're living in the salvaged boiler stolen from a destroyed datacentre. Instead of lace curtains you want a necklace of robot teeth.

Are you trying to bring the dystopia closer by giving them ideas? Let them create their stupid wobbly robots that we can throw nets over and strip for batteries!

I see what you did there 😀
