Cuckoo

Heard my first cuckoo of the year today, after the first one I never stopped hearing them. Up quite early, let Ruaridh out into the garden then gave him his breakfast, made the early morning cuppa. When Graham got up we had breakfast it is really good to sit and relax over this, rather than have to rush.
Started to do the grass cutting (of which there is loads) Graham did the mowing and yours truly started the strimming with the new strimmer. It was very hot, blue sky and hardly any wind too hot to work so we decided to go down to the beach. Ruaridh was beside himself he loves the beach here, he ran around, went after skimming stones, ran into the river and just appeared to enjoy himself. Delighted to see the sea pinks are still here took some lovely photos for blipfoto, guess what I have forgotten my cable to transfer them from my camera to the computer so had to find another image!
Carried on with the strimming it was so hot drank lots of water, the grass is beginning to look better. Spoke with Layla, Bella and her had been to Taste of Scotland she said it was OK and they are all fine.
Just had tinned salmon sandwiches, salad and beer for dinner, but the big thing we were able to sit outside to eat it yeah!
After this we headed off for Graham to shoot his video but too late the light had gone.
Just going to have mushrooms on toast and a cuppa. Goodnight.
