I'm sure there is a better shot of this somewhere in the archives - I certainly hope so ! This caught me totally by surprise, being the first production Ward Dalesman, which was only a few weeks old - it was the sound more than the sight which alerted me to it ! No doubt there were more than a few people who heard what they thought was a bin wagon coming up behind them, only for a Dalesman to scoot by, such was the sound of their Perkins engines.
After the demise of SKJ, this ended up on my doorstep for a few weeks, in the ownership of Goodwins at Stockport. Latterly, it had a couple of owners who had the best of intentions to preserve it, but it ended up being scrapped in 2010.

The Eurasian nuthatch or wood nuthatch (Sitta europaea) is a small passerine bird found throughout the Palearctic and in Europe. Like other nuthatches, it is a short-tailed bird with a long bill, blue-grey upperparts and a black eye-stripe. It is a vocal bird with a repeated loud dwip call. There are more than 20 subspecies in three main groups; birds in the west of the range have orange-buff underparts and a white throat, those in Russia have whitish underparts, and those in the east have a similar appearance to European birds, but lack the white throat.
Its preferred habitat is mature deciduous or mixed woodland with large, old trees, preferably oak. Pairs hold permanent territories, and nest in tree holes, usually old woodpecker nests, but sometimes natural cavities. If the entrance to the hole is too large, the female plasters it with mud to reduce its size, and often coats the inside of the cavity too. The 6–9 red-speckled white eggs are laid on a deep base of pine or other wood chips.
The Eurasian nuthatch eats mainly insects, particularly caterpillars and beetles, although in autumn and winter its diet is supplemented with nuts and seeds. The young are fed mainly on insects, with some seeds, food items mainly being found on tree trunks and large branches. The nuthatch can forage when descending trees head first, as well as when climbing. It readily visits bird tables, eating fatty man-made food items as well as seeds. It is an inveterate hoarder, storing food year-round. Its main natural predator is the Eurasian sparrowhawk.
Fragmentation of woodland can lead to local losses of breeding birds, but the species' range is still expanding. It has a large population and huge breeding area, and is therefore classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as being of least concern.
This is a full blown super duper Nipple Alert..........
Not only are the girls overly sensitive this morning.... They are above average in the perky department signaling not only very cold temperatures approaching. But...... 6 to 12 inches of a cold, wet, pounding to come.......

Have been searching around for a puppy class to enrol Cash in. The two I've contacted I've heard no response back from yet. But I think it will be really beneficial to both Cash & myself.
He's off to meet Missy in a couple of hours and have one of his first trips out in the car. Wish us luck!
These gregarious animals are often seen in groups, and several families may live together in a large community. Squirrel-sized meerkats are mongooses famed for their upright posture. They often stand on their rear legs and gaze alertly over the southern African plains where they live. Mothers can even nurse their young while standing.
Meerkats (also called suricates) work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground. A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that make up their varied diet. Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
Meerkat groups utilize several different burrows and move from one to another. Each burrow is an extensive tunnel-and-room system that remains cool even under the broiling African sun. Females give birth to two to four young each year in one of the group's burrows. Fathers and siblings help to raise meerkat young, teaching them to play and forage and alerting them to the ever present danger from above. Young meerkats are so fearful of predatory birds that even airplanes will send them diving for cover.

The national Weather Service has issued a Nipple alert for the Upper Midwest United States.
Current temperature is 31 F, and with gusting winds...... Giving it a 6 F feeling.
Possibility of rain that may turn to slush or snow.
But ground conditions are so that accumulations shall not be a problem. But roadways may be slippery.
My advice would be to warm body before heading out.
Preferably human to human contact under covers. This saves the planet from greenhouse gases caused by the burning of fossil fuels to heat room.
With this simple act. We can lick this problem and add a little love to our day. (Of the planet of course. Fiddley dee.)
But spreading a little Pre-Christmas love is not a bad idea either......You can never give enough love. So have a warm cup of coffee. And bottoms up........
This was a National Weather Nipple Alert.
You may now return to whatever you were doing before, Hopefully it had nothing to do with chocolate and body........
That is all.

Got up this morning. And those girls were standing erect like rockets at that Elon Musk launch site. All gassed up and ready for lift off.......
And then I looked at the temperature, I did...... And it was 1' F. With a wind chill of -17 below... With a high of maybe +5 F forecasted for remainder of day........
Well............... Scratch laying outside in a bikini soaking in some sun rays today.....
And winter doesn't officially start for another 9 days.....
So....... Remember what I always say....... Yup...... Keep things simple.........
Think I'll crawl back in bed and get some shared Sandra heat... And maybe some of her massaging fingers to get a little blood circulation......
Can never have enough blood circulation fiddley dee !!!!!
