Morning run

I took a head torch to get there for sunrise. An anniversary run and the dug and I took a combination of road and tracks (26k) up to the Waterloo Memorial where we brought out a small cake with a candle with a glass of a very nice Prosecco which was appropriate. Being Scotland and despite lovely days for the last week it rained! And the candle went out.
The dug wants others to know that soggy cake is better than no cake.

Not to say there are none, just none at the sites where there are cameras. But the important thing for everyone to learn is this

‘ He does not seem to have quite understood the whole pairing/partnership politics yet.
Basically, if a female shows interest, share your fish. His reluctance to share fish may cost him dearly. ‘

Morning dog walk

Tiptoeing through the bluebells which are still in fine form. I have the impression that they (the bluebells, not the dugs) have arrive earlier and stayed longer than last year, although without any notes of dates for either this or last I could not verify that.

Ideal temp for running, and we have a 3/4 marathon distance planned after breakfast has gone down.

Rolling hills stretch across the Scottish Borders countryside, with lush fields and clusters of woodland creating a serene spring landscape. The peaceful setting near Melrose offers sweeping countryside views framed by hedgerows, wooden fences, and scattered mature trees. Vibrant greens mix with soft pastels of new foliage, perfect for nature photography and quiet reflection. A quintessential spot for enjoying the beauty of #ScottishBorders #CountrysideViews #RollingHills #NaturePhotography #SpringLandscape.

#OTD in 1969, St. Boswells railway station was closed. Tweedbank railway station is now the nearest station, 6km away.
Hawick railway station closed on the same day.

Tortoise Tuesday

Spring has sprung and guess who is out. Let me introduce Baby (25 this year) really, her sister is Biggy - blame the kids - and Pi is keeping a sharp eye on her.

So back in The Borders, and we have small roads. One of the ‘short cuts’ involves a small bridge - with Feking great signs reminding it is a small bridge, very narrow not to mention banned for vehicles over a certain weight. So what does some stupid driver attempt to do with an HGV - which would not even have fitted over the bridge. Cue a certain disruption. Delivering Winners, driven by Pillocks. Passable on a bike.

Scotland vs Wales

A friend prepared a set of poems to help raise money for the Doddy MND campaign. Gary played with Doddy as a junior in the Scotland team.

Great success in Edinburgh last week, people are generous and he’s down in Cardiff with his partner today hoping for the same.
