@GetCarter this reminds me of a Gary Larson cartoon, but I'm dashed if I can find it quickly.

@GetCarter they pretend they can't read, but "ignorance of the law is no excuse," I muttered, as I squeezed the trigger of my air rifle. 🎯🐿️

    Short video taken this morning of 'Allt an Aoil' - one of the burns that runs down from near the top of Ben Shieldaig. This is about 1/3 of the length of it.

    Music recorded for WCPM in Angel Studios.

    @GetCarter lovely. Just the right speed of flight to absorb the sights.

    We are not on mains water here, and after the big freeze we were without water for a couple of days, so we went to a friends house to fill up bottles with mains (chlorinated) water.

    Would our dog drink it? Not a bloody chance. So he was on £1 a bottle mineral water.

    @GetCarter the elaborate chocolador gets it from the filter jug, as it's the easiest way to fill up her bowl. She still pops out to drink from the rain-filled empty flowerpots from time to time.
