It’s gonna be a peach :-)

A nice early night and a good long sleep had me waking up to a clear blue sky with no sign of the smoke that’s been lingering around Skye and Raasay for days. The ‘wall to wall’ sunshine promised for days has finally arrived Dunno if the heath fires are actually out but I cannae smell any burnt heather and the smoke isn’t blocking the sun  

Must have been cold during the night right enough cos the seat on my quad is soaking wet but my wee cherry blossom is looking lovely.

 

Yesterday was a pretty laid back day with the dugs and I walking over to Torran for breakfast number one and strong black coffee.

   

The path being adorned by primroses that you don’t notice when speeding along on a quad

  

After vacuum packing the chorizo, sausages and straining the brawn that was still warm six hours after the five half heads had been boiling for four hours .

 

I headed round to the neighbours to see how they were getting on and also to ask if they’d seen the missing half a head

 

My old house and garden looking lovely in the spring sunshine. There was no sign of the missing half a head right enough but after another coffee I came away with a black pudding, some Arnish and Raasay sausages and a fine piece of haslet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haslet which I can’t wait to try.

A traditional Lincolnshire meat loaf, I’ve only ever had it when I lived in Lancashire over thirty years ago and have never seen or heard of it since.

Eagles everywhere

Then it was home to just potter about, cleaning the shed putting the boiler away and admiring the eagles soaring above my house.

 

Perhaps they had found the missing half a head

  

So I went to check my ‘graveyard’ still no sign of the AWOL head but there were plenty of eagles

  

The Shiant Isles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiant_Islands (centre image) have never looked so close.

 

After that I turned my attention to the next major project on my list, fitting a whole new rear half chassis to the Disco I’ve have a few other things to deal with first but meanwhile I gave it a good spraying inside and out with underseal.

  

Smoke from the Moll fire blocking out the sunset, a fresh one burning to the north,

 

time to leave the dugs on my bed and head to Torran for dinner
