Pod’s playing [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GktZgeOQWUk]Double or Drop[/url] with the contents of today’s post. I bought a stack of tat via eBay, for filling Geocache boxes. If only the notebooks would arrive, we could get on with setting some caches.

Derelict Thursday: Growing over
The moment that I discovered [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/SarumStroller]SarumStroller[/url]’s challenge of [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/discuss/10/5939/99043]Derelict Thursday[/url], I was out of the door with a camera in hand. I didn’t need to go far – this log has been gently rotting in the front garden for the 8 years that we have lived here. The Shasta Daisies are now going over and …

A load of old tat
I was going to call this one The Glittering Prizes but my camera appears to have failed to capture the essential element of glitz 🙂 These power balls arrived in the post today and are for my Tat Stash – they are intended for swaps for geocache boxes. It occurred to me that a secondary …
Copinsay without the haar
We ended Saturday at the Geo Slipway. The haar never lifted. It was a surprise this morning to be able to see Copinsay. A fresh breeze had moved the mist at last. We were able to see more of Deerness on our way back to Kirkwall to catch the ferry home. More photos and exploits …
Burray Barrier Man Backblip
Friday’s haar had cleared by 4:30 pm, but Saturday’s mist was more intransigent. It was not a good photography day. We left Sands o’ Wright after our mushroom and bacon breakfast and worked our way slowly up to Deerness, stoppimg to several geocaches as we reached them. Our first stop was at Churchill Barrier number …
Foraged Fungi (Backblip)
We got away after work on Thursday, arriving at Sands o’ Wright as the light was fading. The weekend was bedevilled by haar, so yielded far fewer photographs than our last trip. Brunhilde was making dreadful noises right from the off – her fanbelt now continuously slipping. The new one had not arrived in time …
Espresso Delivery
My new espresso pot has arrived! We shall have some good coffee when we are on the road.
Prepping
I d/loaded a new app for the smartphone last night – it’s a geocaching app. Today I am loading it with all the Orcadian cache records, ready for offline use. We haven’t been geocaching in years and years – certainly not since we came up to Orkney. Back then there were but a handful, but …
Granolarola
Homemade Granola with apricots and macadamias – for taking on our trip. I’ve sadly elected not to go to the Sci Fair tomorrow. Way too much to be done at home. I’m sad – esp about the pinhole photo thing. I see that a year ago today I was in Stromness. I recall it was …
