I don't know what is the point anymore as part of the wall is missing. 😅 Well I don't know what is it with me as I always have to put this red torch light in to these fire places...
Fyero has a sore hip today so we've implemented the cat taxi service (for the stairs) all heating pads have been set to low for her comfort.
I'm waiting on a call back from the vet but hopefully we can get her something to help ease some of her discomfort.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

He was taken to a local wildlife rehab centre. We were glad we had rescued him and he was in good hands.

The District Heating Network is the first large-scale water source heat pump scheme of its kind in Scotland, and will make Clydebank one of the greenest areas in the country.
In addition to the man made tunnel not long before the trees acted as something of a tunnel too. Most welcome as the day was really heating up now

"The group of stone terraced houses known as The Colonies of Stockbridge was the first of several ‘colonies’ to be built in Edinburgh during the second half of the nineteenth century. All but one of these colonies were built by the same company – The Edinburgh Co-operative Building Company – which was formed in 1861.
Shares in the ECBC cost £1 each, and the houses cost between £100 and £130 to buy, depending on whether they were low or high doors. Potential buyers were asked to put down £5 deposit for a house, and Property Investment companies were persuaded to lend the balance of £95-£125 on security of the title deeds. This sum could be paid off in instalments over 15-20 years, thus making it possible for anyone with a modest but regular income to afford to buy a house. The houses began as an experiment, the success of which far exceeded anything the pioneer builders could have dreamt of.
In the early years, the houses were all lit by gas, as were the street lights, and cooking and heating of water was done on an iron range in the kitchen. The double sinks could be used for washing people as well as clothes, and coal was kept either under the external stair, in a coal cupboard off the hall, or under the kitchen floor (in the lower houses).
Older Colonies residents can still recall the days when the streets were full of children, and when rival groups from either end built and lit bonfires. At the end of the Second World War, parties were held in some streets in celebration, and for many years a garden fete was held on the drying green beside Reid Terrace. The tradition of holding local events continues to this day, with local quizzes, a garden competitions, street sales, carol singing and river clean up days being fixed features of the annual Colonies calendar."
That tube fitted bleow the window is one of two heaters which are controlled by a thermostate. The white board on the floor is the table top for my sewing machine...just trying it for size
Within a week, the summer temperatures have plummeted from 27° to 12°. Time to switch on Minnie's heating pad. Her favourite thing to do with it is to warm her 16-year-old hips.
The laziest entry I've ever done for a contest. The shame is unbearable.
Made in a couple hours as a Bio-cup entry for the eliminatories.
A couple more pics there

The Rosette Nebula is a cloud of dust containing enough gas and dust to make about 10,000 stars like our Sun. In the centre of the nebula is a cluster of hot, bright young stars. These are warming up the surrounding gas and dust, making it appear bluer. The small, bright white regions are cocoons of dust in which huge stars are currently being born. These “protostars”, each one of which will probably become a star up to ten times more massive than the Sun, are heating up the surrounding gas and dust and making it clow brighter. The smaller, redder dots on the left side and near the centre of the image also contain protostars, but these are smaller, and will go on to form stars much like our Sun. Just as the centre of the nebula contains bright young stars, in a few tens or hundreds of millions of years these stars will have died, but the protostars will have evolved into fully-fledged stars in their own right. In this way, the star formation will move outwards through the nebula.
NJT 4210 leads a weekend extra for URHS's open museum day, past the iconic Dixon Oil & Heating building in Mountain Lakes NJ. After dropping off passengers, the train would deadhead to Port Morris and end their day. Luckily the parking lot only hosted a company van to complement the shot.

Hi, so yes I am alive. RL has just been a real pain in the butt lately but I'm slowly getting back to normal, it's been alot of prepping for my Mother to move while I stay back, work issues etc you know the drill!
But I am slowly re-pacing myself even if it is slowly.
Future updates about the blog will be coming soon so keep an eye out if you are interested and if you are not...pretty pictures will be popping up!

Harlequin Ladybird, Harmonia axyridis.
Size ranges from 5.5mm to 8.5mm.
Widespread in England and Wales and spreading into Scotland.
The Harlequin Ladybird can be difficult to identify because of its variations in colour, spot size, and spot count. The easiest way to identify is to look at the pronotum and see whether the black markings look like a W or M. and the head has an obvious white triangle in the centre. It is a typical Ladybird beetle in shape and structure, being domed and having a smooth transition between its wing coverings, pronotum and head. The common colour form is orange or red with 0–22 black spots of variable size. The other usual forms are uniformly black with two or four red markings. The underside is dark with a wide reddish-brown border. However, numerous other forms have also been recorded. Extreme forms may be entirely black, or feature complex patterns of black, orange and red.
When identification is difficult, the underside pattern usually enables a reliable conclusion. Identification is most simple for the common forms, while less common varieties may take longer to identify. They always have reddish-brown legs and are obviously brown on the underside of the abdomen.
Originally from Asia, this species is widely considered to be one of the world’s most invasive insects. In Europe it is currently increasing to the detriment of indigenous species, its voracious appetite enabling it to outcompete and even consume other ladybirds. The harlequin ladybird is also highly resistant to diseases that affect other ladybird species, and carries a microsporidian, single-celled fungi, parasite, to which it is immune, but that can infect and kill other species. Native ladybird species have experienced dramatic declines in abundance in areas invaded by the Harlequin. In 2015, it was declared the fastest invading species in the UK, spreading throughout the country after the first sighting was confirmed in 2004. It can have multiple broods throughout the spring, summer and autumn, which also gives it a competitive edge.
They often congregate in sunlit areas because of the heat available, so even on fairly cold winter days some of the hibernating beetles will "wake up" because of solar heating. Large populations can be problematic because they can form swarms and linger in an area for a long time.
This species became established in North America as the result of introductions into the United States in an attempt to control the spread of aphids, but he Harlequin itself has also been reported to be a minor agricultural pest that is inadvertently harvested with crops. This can cause visible and sensory contamination and contamination of grapes by this beetle has been found to alter the taste of wine.
Escaping steam from the coaching stock's heating system gives an illusion of speed as Class 55 No. 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier' emerges from the mist at Quorn on 28th December 2024, heading the heavily delayed 1330 GCR service from Leicester North to Loughborough.
