Last day of the big golf tournament. The main beach has been closed for the last ten days so the local dog owners and their pooches have relocated to the smaller sandy beach by the harbour. ' Back to normal tomorrow ' we say to the chef from the towns sole Chinese restaurant. He is accompanied by his Puli. The Puli has its hair tied above its head in a most un-Puli like bob. This has the sole advantage of keeping the hair out of its eyes. We're not sure the Chinese chef speaks any English. He nods in reply.

Have you noticed how few insects there are this year ? :https://druidproject.org.uk/
A German visitors view of the US. Do you agree or disagree ? ( I see many people think he was being rude - but he seems to have been making simple observations ) : https://x.com/oledoteth/status/1825915655444640216

Love the tranquil Sunday morning music offering.
I suspect if the German chap had ventured beyond New York and Las Vegas some of his impressions would have been a bit different but his first point, about different attitudes to talking about one's financial successes, is spot on, as is his point regarding the out of control tipping culture!
Cheers, Gail.
I see what 'The Font' means about the "squiffy" tiles - a Friday afternoon job after a very liquid lunch!
Well, I read the German visitor's observations to my Japanese husband at breakfast, and he just sat there nodding his head.
I have a new German neighbor who likes rural America but always complains that our food has too much sugar. Bread is too sweet for her, plus loads of foods that never need sugar. She has to eat much less to not gain weight.
Back to normal very soon.
I thoroughly enjoy your daily postings. Life in my corner of the world, in the open, flat corn and soybean fields near the University of Illinois, seems quite sedate compared to life in Scotland. Thank you for taking the time to share your day!
I've not noticed a lack of insects on the Northern California coast but yes to a dramatic increase in mosquitoes this year. We have swathes of blooming oregano covered with bees. Looking at yesterday's comments, I'm so sad that Jake of Florida has lost dear Joey. The loss of a beloved pet turns our hearts upside down.
Stephanie,, thank you. He was a mischievous adventure. And yes, my heart is upside down and inside out!
I agree with the German man’s observations.
