Another deer walk (after a trip into town on the bus, with my bus pass, to collect the fixed car)
Do you remember how tiring it is looking after non-stop youngsters?

Haven’t got a bus since Wednesday. The views are still okay mind


I’m rather liking this being retired malarkey.

You've all just reminded me that this retirement malarkey means I'm always too busy to take photos.
Maybe I should resurrect the old work outlook diary and schedule a photo stop 🤔

I'm now into my third year of keeping a daily diary (using the diarium app), and I've kept to my plan of taking at least one photo a day.



I've also gone back as far as 1996, filling in as many days and photos as I can, and they're all plotted on a map, too.
