It’s been a fine but cloudy morning and the #hens want fed. The #daffodils from the local shop are the prettiest I’ve seen. #uist

One of those really incredible moments on Saturday morning. Two Otter cubs sitting on a rock feeding away on front of me and mum heading towards the shore with another fish,I looked up just in time to see an immature White-tailed Eagle fly past and carry on down the shore 🥰😍💚 ##ilovenature

Supper is a leek and cheese omelette with half a homemade #bread roll. The cheese is a Scottish Gouda with a touch of cumin and the eggs are home laid. 😋

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I’ve been saying this for years. As someone who, in their 20s, went from perfect vision to v short sighted in one eye, I support regular basic eye tests as a requirement to have a driver’s licence. #SoapBox

A quiet evening. Feeling pleased that I’ve returned clean winter pjs to the upstairs linen cupboard and brought down my spring pjs. #SimplePleasures #uist

A fine morning running errands. Took a #kitten to the vets for another fosterer, shopped at my favourite Co-op car park, and treated myself to a #PokeBowl from the Salar deli. 😋 #uist

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

While you work or study, let the sounds of spring lift your mind. Episode 113 - Spring's here in mild valley (43 mins) The colours of the valley are the dull greens and browns of winter. But the sound is rich. Listen-in from this sheltered spot under a tree. > bit.ly/LenMild
