Ah Limey, you so know I have to visit you!
You promised me boardgames and cats too!
(And I think singalongs, but that might be me being greedy)

Right outside my backdoor RFyesterday morning. This is our resident chipmunk who lives under our shed. HE/she was chirping away for several minutes on one of the deck posts.

You're only a short distance from the Mull of Kintyre!

So the camera has GPS? Or you looked on an atlas? Either way, I can see the Mull of Kintyre, and Sir McCa's estate, from my window ...

The Mull of Kintyre is used as a reference in the Mull of Kintyre test, an unofficial test for the propriety of images of naked men.

It is famously used by the Broadcasting Standards Commission to determine whether or not the male member may be shown on television: only penises of flaccidity similar to that of the Mull of Kintyre in relation to the mainland of Great Britain may be shown. Those in a state of greater extension are deemed to be inappropriate.

I looked on Google Maps, the finest atlas we have these days, when you said you were on Arran. Then later I was thinking about the song and got curious about where the Mull of Kintyre is. It was the Christmas #1 single when I lived there, but I never knew where he was singing about. As a bass player, Macca's my lifetime hero. Well I remembered what your Isle looks like when Maps showed me nearly the exact same location.

Such a place! My Mom's people were from Aran Island, Ireland its interesting that both islands are in similar positions vs their main islands. *google earth is so cool* Now I need a Gaelic dictionary.

It's been a day of contrasts - sunshine and torrential rain moving in bands across the country.
The first pic is of the front garden, looking into the Close opposite. That was an open field until I was about 14.

The second pic is taken in the time it took me to walk from the front to the back bedroom. I guess you can tell where the next rain is coming in from? In fact since sitting back down the whole house has darkened.

But yeah. We live on an estate. You can't see the sea from here neither.

And by the time I post this I've had to switch the lights on - it's raining again.
Just another view of the backgarden.
This was my room growing up. I am very familiar with this view!
The room I sleep in now was my brother's room.

So now at least you know what I see when I wake up.
I imagine it fascinates many people.

I'm very jealous of the plugins in that link, particularly the ones that allow for straightening via cylinder, etc.
Unfortunately (for me) I'm on a Mac and don't have the necessary software to run the plugins.

In any case, I thought you might be interested in the "stitching" I did today on the sequotia tree in my earlier post.
This panorama was created via HP SmartStudio software using 3 pics.
It is glaring how it needs straightening, particularly the Douglas firs on the left, but the tree, itself, seems to be pretty accurate.
