Low cloud has blown in from the Atlantic and settled on the ridge bringing with it some light drizzle. Bob follows me into the kitchen. He waits patiently while Angus prepares a caffeine fix and finds a jacket to wear. The first 'jacket' morning after a long hot summer.
His sister soon joins her brother. Bob starts his day quietly. Today he's pondering whether the American President will meet his Iranian counterpart at the UN General Assembly later this month. Bob thinks this may , on balance, be a vote winner.

A friend brought dried squid to us for his friend who was thinking of producing it as dog treats. Well, the dogs loved it but the stink was something that put me off. The kitchen stank no matter how tight you sealed the package, and you wanted to bleach your hands after touching it. Yuck.
Sounds like we were lucky to get dried tripe ! It could have been worse.
