Monday morning. The horses are down on the beach for their break of day exercise. They race 2 miles one way and then 2 miles back. Most of them then head home but one rider repeats the process. Local dog owners make sure their companions are safely on the leash. A few keen students are out surfboarding. In these northerly parts people squeeze what they can out of the shrinking daylight hours.

Walnuts appear in the supermarket. They are sold as 'Christmas in-shell nuts ' which seems blindingly obvious.

There ought to be a notice on the walnut bag display....
''May contain nuts''
Hard to believe it's been 30 years. Even now, thinking about it brings a wave of sadness and regret for lost possibilities. I can't see the video, but I am guessing it is rugby? I really do like rugby, but this past weekend, it was all about baseball. The seventh game of the World Series was worth getting up at 1 in the morning, and the Japanese contributions made it even better. When we first moved to Japan, it was accepted wisdom (in Japan) that Japanese athletes could not compete internationally in sports like football and baseball - too small, etc. It has been such a great pleasure to watch the athletes who have proved that to be really, really wrong.
Were you at Murrayfield? I gave up my tickets because I was at a wedding. Fab venue in Perthshire, if you are ever looking

One of the best collective nouns I've ever heard came from a 7-year-old - a pub of dads!
Great photo of the horse on the beach, a great way to start the week,
I also admired the horse photo. And I like the collective an exaltation of larks.

Sad to read about Tanzania’s decline. Rode the trains and did Kilimanjaro back in 1982. Nice people, and now bad management. Remember the man in charge of the Arusha locomotive depot had a crew pull a steam engine out and turn it on the turntable for photos, after giving him a large photograph of one my ATSF’s engines.
A pile of scones?
The horse photo is fantastic!
The photo of the horse on the beach is really a good one. Bravo!
