Yippee-ki-yay...

I know it's not actually Silly Saturday today, but when I looked at this shot I saw the males face and he looked to be so enjoying himself... we put our emotions onto things; creatures, rocks, trees... and he's grinning... surely.

I started the day with a 41.5km cycle ride on Ruby - my longest ever. Thoroughly enjoyable but my backside feels like it should have known better. I wound down this evening with a 5km walk around the village with Janet.

The pond pump arrived and is fitted and working well. Mark the date - it's got a two year warranty... no doubt it'll fail autumn 2026...
