morphsuited seagull victim

Last day in July and it's sunny, makes a change from the rest of the month when it rained almost constantly. When will we finally get a nice summer? Makes you want to emigrate!

Just finished cutting the grass, have to use the opportunities when they come. At least when I'm out there the seagulls that my neighbours delight in feeding disappear, though the noise from them is always to be heard, not that I've anything against seagulls that do seagully things like catch fish, just those that scrounge and land noisily on my roof on the way to another food handout from the old maid bird mafia.

Not been on any massive walks this month but plan on a long one on Saturday, regardless of the weather, I mean I'm getting to be such a wimp, canceling plans if even a few drops are falling, but not next time. Did go a couple of weeks ago to Inchcolm, on the other half decent day we had in July. Was nice to be back on the island after many years but it was like a Hitchcock movie set with all the-yes, you've guessed- seagulls, thousands of them, dive-bombing anyone within the vicinity of their young.

Work is going ok, gave a couple of morphsuits to two of my nephews for their birthday, at my advanced age I should be past wearing them myself but what did I do after a few too many glasses of vino verde? Yeah, I put one on then went off to my local pub. My local one! Oh the shame, had to avoid that place for a few days, though maybe not everyone recognized me..

Enjoyed watching the Open Golf, Wimbledon, now Olympics etc , time for me to get off sofa and get more active myself I think, lets hope August brings good things.  Here a couple of photos..
