Indeed, Deacon! And now we get to see a great shot of a beautiful day! Cheers :-)

The squeeky wheel usually gets the grease.

Seems steady now, Deacon - maybe they saw your alert and fixed it!

The camera needs a new "thing a majig". I used to do that stuff in my younger days but am getting too old for all that climbing and dealing with the elements.

The camera is acting up. Need a pole or building climber who doesn't mind the cold to restore the camera to its original luster.

It looks beautiful but too cold for me.

Must be extremely cold there now. The spiral of smoke in the distance is going straight up.. 

First snow of the season on 10/26/2022!!

The first real snowstorm here all winter, looks nice.

Hi Roger Barker ....  I hope you are well.  It's 2 years today since Trix died, so she never heard of Covid. Seems to have been a long 2 years.

You take care.

MD

Looks like their first snow of the season today. A good one, covering everything.

Snow will be falling here shortly.

Hi Phoenix ...  I'm very sorry to hear your news.   I was so hopeful when I read that article on gamma knife radiation.  Poor lady.  I'm sure she is much better off at home than in hospital.  So sad for the family.

Hi Arizona Sue ...  nowt, owt and summat are words I use every day, especially in texts.  As for "dreck," ... it's my go-to cuss word now.  If I drop something it's "Oh dreck,"  which is a  big improvement on what I would normally say. LOL

Have you ever watched the series "Rebus," best played by Ken Stott?  Set in Glasgow with real accents.

Hi MD, the news about my sons mother in law is not good. She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. They're giving her some kind of chemotherapy pills, which slow the growth of the cells, but don't know how long she has left, really. She is back home, because she wanted that. 

Hi Sue, one of my favorite Scottish words is "Foosty, or Fousty", not sure how it's spelled. Glad you enjoyed your trip over to Arran, we loved that island, used to take many trips over on the ferry. Mum and Dad had some friends who lived there. Dad was stationed there for a time during WWII, do got to know folk. I loved "Last Tango in Halifax", i've watched it twice. I'm going to watch "Vicious", when I remember!  :-) I like Derek Jacobi and Ian McKellen, and I also watched I, Claudius and enjoyed that too. 

Hi Sue .... since reading your post - I've adopted the word "dreck."  I'll be able to cuss/curse/swear in front of my neighbours without them knowing.  LOLOLOL

My favorite Scottish word is "numpty."  LOL

Hi Phoenix:  I enjoy your comments about Florida.  I feel the same as you.   We too here in AZ have an anal orifice for Governor.   He's thinking of running for Senate in 2022, so naturally he's not going to say anything bad about the Orange Asshat!   Husband and I have Scottish friends who live in Carluke.   They also laugh about the Glasweegian accent.  In fact, they gave us a pamphlet awhile ago using the local words and meanings.   It's been so sad not being able to visit them since Covid.   Our last visit was in August 2019, for their 50th wedding anniversary.   We visited the Isle of Arran and the coast.   We visited (at my request) a Clydesdale farm where I was thrilled to see the horses and other animals and it rained non-stop and it was wonderful.  Hoping for another visit to the Highlands in 2022. 

Been reading with interest your comments on dialect, the Scots have some dozies too, especially up in the Glasgow area. Yup, the Delta version is running riot down here too, especially with Trumps puppet DeSantis in charge.
