A couple or more photographs taken along the Grand Union Canal Sunday..  didn't get it on camera, but saw a Kingfisher! Twice! He flew over head into a tree, then flew back out again! Beautiful!

I saw one in Italy, 2019, and the pair this year in the spring... But it is only ever by chance I see them.. or a fluke.. I think the only ever one before might have been near a pub on the Grand Union canal after Leighton Buzzard, heading towards Milton Keynes.. and that was back in.. who know when!

If I saw them as a kid along the canal near where I lived I probably just 'was'nt bothered' it's only when we are bothered, these things mean more.. 


This random photographs below I took on Home Bargains I think, in Bulwell last Monday, funny getting melancholy over Halloween kitchen towels! 

But I saw so much I would love to buy, if I had my own kitchen!

I guess I could buy and stick in my lock up!?!
Maybe not eh!



Last Sunday Cassie and I went down to the Nottingham Goose Fair.. first ride was the Bumper Cars, or Dodgers? 

It was definitely more bump than dodge! And I paid for it in the morning, with a bit of whiplash I think! Really sore neck and back!


Still, definitely worth the pain! We ended on the big wheel, just us in the pod, the photograph below is AI, because we took eachothers photos, and I am being protective over Cassie.. 

AI does come in handy too..

In-between these two rides we did the hoops, nada! darts, nada, hook a duck, I won a little mini Dachshund toy, and the shootout range, Cassie got a hit with her first shot, and the second and forth! 3 out 4 for a first go with a rifle so heavy! She did so well, she won a Scottish Highland cow! 


We ended on four freshly made, as we waited doughnuts with a biscoff and caramel sauce!

Oh!! Posted and nearly forgot!



Sitting down to watch TV just now, Sherlock caught my eye, started the first episode, and looks at the date! October 12th! That's today! Freaky eh!!
