Big spending, employed, scrumpy-drinking hoarder

My budgies are going mad, totally loud as hell and Stasi especially is quite destructive, attacking the speakers of my PC and attacking any spare wood she can get her beak on. It's not only in the living room too, she has taken to flying around the flat to find new areas to attack! They were quite quiet when I took the cage out the back garden on a sunny day nearer the start of the month, but normal sevice returned when they were brought back in!

Been another lockdown month, though there are plans for pubs to open in next couple of weeks, don't think it will be the same as before though with many restrictions, any way we will see.

Started a new job a couple of weeks ago, I am actually working tonight, hence I update now. Unfortunately I'm going also to be working all fothcoming weekends too, oh well, get most days during week off however. It will do me for now, will keep an eye out however as the hours do not really suit.

I only just made 200K steps today, not very impressive, too many days were written off with being lazy and/or hungover. We ordered 3 different sorts of scrumpy a couple of weeks back- 3 litre packs- and they went down very well, you don't realize the strength until you wake up on the sofa in the early hours of the morning with a budgie kacking on your head..

Still doing the shopping for my Aunt and cousin, was there today in fact, I don't mind it actually as I do like to go food shopping, though going when hungry is a bad idea. Got myself a nice bottle of Furstenberg for later, though I'll not be opening it until about 11:30

Not much else happened, been cutting my own and my dad's grass, though my cutter almost didn't start last time, hopefully I'll not need a new one.  Bought a new fridge the other day, it arrives on Friday, the one I have has been good and has lasted over 20 years, but the door to the freeze box is now broken, so out with the old and in with the new.

Oh, also got new walking boots, hey big spender, and I have been out in the a couple of times- get a blister on wee toe on the right side, but hopefully that won't be a problem once I break them in. My last pair have lasted 4 years, and I will keep for now as I'm a hoarder. Even still have the boots I bought in 2002, along with countless pairs of other, long since discarded, shoes. Also clothes also seem to be retained forever, really need to have a clear out!!

OK, have to get ready for tonight's shift along in Dunfermline.

The photos are much the same as previous months, as I tend to walk much the same routes, one is with Kath's dog Ember, the other two in-or near-Kinghorn.
