For a change we have not been caught up in all the atrocious weather experienced by much of the rest of the country.

Morning all cold n a bit damp oot doors but the sun is out. Still been looking at cars for the misses.
Ideally around 5k looking at (ok wait for it) Toyota ravs & honda crv's.
No point spending any more as she doesnt look after them & it will end up with carpark dings, kerb'd wheels ect
Looked at freelanders but cheaper ones are miles away.
Found a ex ambulance services hrv 2.2D for 4k over in balloch no mot on atm he will put a new one on it when
a sale is agreed.

Understood.Because I wanted to go into mechanics and told it wasn't a female vocation, then decided I'm joining the workforce. Looking back kind of glad I did what I did as I wouldn't have been able to get on the housing ladder mid 20s with uni debt.
Yes I did make them
and "Yum yum"

The legal argument could be made that the driver was traveling at 30 mph and then noticed a sign not fit for legal road use, which caused an accident.

W, who used to work for Toyota, reckons Rav 4s drink the juice. But that was years ago when they first came out.
No Jimnys near you?
Honda's biggest selling car, so there must be tons around. Plenty of spares then!

It's Sunday, so got up late, like at lunchtime.
Weather dry and sort of sunny.
Never seen so many red berries on our holly tree.
I've tried to take a decent pic of it but for some reason it ain't working well. But I have yet to get one out of the camera, I'll see if I can work one and put it up.
The grapes on our grape vine are getting ripe so of course all the birds are very interested in them now!
and that concludes Stan's Nature Notes!
(Don't often do that, need a lie down now!)

I can't believe it - I've got a flower on one of my yellow Azaleas, complete with its lovely perfume. If that is flowering now I can't help but wonder what is going to happen with the plant when it should be in flower next April/May.It's Sunday, so got up late, like at lunchtime.

Well, it sounds like you've got a bargain there. You can get varieties that flower in both spring and autumn, but they're generally more expensive. I understand the autumn flush of blooms gets better as they get older, so you might get some more next year.
I see autumn flowering bulbs like daffodils and crocuses are getting more popular in this country, though once again they tend to be dearer than the usual spring flowering cultivars. Even so I might get some as they'll add splash of colour at what is otherwise a rather dismal time of year.

And that is only part of it!
Sadly despite W having nearly murdered the grape vine last March, cutting it back to within an inch of its life, the flipping thing has gone mad. Had to fight to get to that part of the garden through what is left of the arch to get a look at it. (Haven't been there since we arrived back.)
The most productive part has, yet again, fallen on the floor.
The grapes are so ripe they are showing "noble rot" and are amazingly sweet.
The vine is as old as the house so dates back to about 1983/4
Dunno why we keep the flipping thing really. We did once make wine but it is very hard work. grapes are table grapes with a lovely hint of strawberry.
(Yet more nature notes.

It's exactly seven years since one of our cats turned up as a tiny kitten in the back yard. So I gave her a tin of tuna with a number 7 in it:
She likes to lick all the juice off it:
