April the Thirtieth………….In the pond…..In the Spring sunshine…Lotte The Floating Stone.  She got pushed about a bit when the frogs were mating….the taddies leave her alone.  The Pond-skaters ain’t got the muscle…. https://lotteglob792300328.wordpress.com/

May the First………..Smallbear at the Balfour for her second Covid jab………might even be prepared to go among the populace now……Mebbe….

Life shifts from Dirty Utility to 400 Volts and ready for action!

By the by – just across the road from the Balfour, Arcadia Park is looking good – bursting with new life.  https://theorkneynews.scot/?s=Arcadia+park

May the Second………4 a.m……The Moon Over Kirkwall – and the sea………

May the Third………..Violets are appearing along the side of the track…..not shrinking…..not at all….

May the Fourth………Cold North wind blowing……..A day for pie, mash and mixed greens with gravy…..Mmmmmmm…

May the Fifth………..Mike went into Stromness…. Doesn’t happen much these days….picked up and dropped off some things at work…..dropped off a ‘clear out’ bag at a charity shop….did a bit of shopping….SHOPPED LOCAL….

May the Sixth………Thinking about having voted…..thinking – whatever the results are tomorrow – this is how we see ’Britain’ in the not-too-distant future…..
