Fit like loons and qines?
I was talking to an Aberdonian friend of mine yesterday morning and I forgot he liked to speak in Doric, a dialect from up that way.
So Fit like loons and qines! means How are you doing boys and girls?
Yesterday was my birthday and we were meant to goto a sea aquarium but the train strike put paid to that.
In the end I decided I would rather hike upto Raith Lake and feed some of the wildlife.
However being summer the overgrown foilage was like a jungle, now that the lake has closed the fishery business it is only the odd dog walker that wanders round it.
That is the spot where I usually feed the swan family.
Well, I could not see them, but I did hear them splashing around. So I threw food over the reeds and called them. I did hear them eating so that was good.
On the way to the other end of the lake, I went past the local laundry line.
It seems the two cup coconut bra had become a three cup coconut bra! I wondered who had moved into the area.
And there discarded on the ground was another three cup coconut bra. Me things the lady doth have too much money to be carelessly discarding her laundry in public!
Unperturbed I went bird-hunting, whilst Mrs T did a spot of mudlarking!
Hands up if you know what mudlarking is?
A mudlark is someone who scavenges in river mud for items of value, a term used especially to describe those who scavenged this way in London during the late 18th and 19th centuries.

So whilst I was photographing the birds and doing my Eddie Wildlife part, she was scouring the water's edge for pottery or glass shards.
She was so focused on her finds, that she had not realised that I had successfully called three swans to me. She turned round and saw three swans making a beeswan line for the shore, and in her haste to get to a safe distance manged to fall arse first in the mud, as she put it. I missed all this as I was delighted to see that the three swans were actually three of the missing children from Beveredige Park that I had not seen since last year!
I did promise @jane1289 a duckey shot and here is a baby duckling just for you, It is not until the winter that they will show their adult colouring of plumage, so I don't know if it is a loon or a quine!
It has been a chaotic week and we are off to the charity shops to donate some more things. I will make a more detailed post of this eventful walk next week, but in the meantime @coquicoin I will leave you with three of the pies, can you remember their names? There are two girls and a boy here!
PS the wee brown pellets in the water is their 🦢 food that I get from Amazon courtesy of Hive!

Yesterday was your birthday? Oh my! I am so sorry partner. I was at the dentist all day and didn't engage that much except for Emoji craziness.
Happy birthday to you, partner. You are a wonderful person and I sincerely appreciate how awesome you are. I wish you many more years to come with joy and excitement... More trophies for Rangers too 🥰🥰🥰.
I know you don't like Pizza but we need to celebrate...
hehe thank you partner.
The dentist ouch, that is not much fun, and I am glad at least you could get crazy with the emojis hehe.
Yeah I will pass on the Pizza but a trophy for Rangers would be the perfect preent.
Have a great weekend Ola:)
Wasn't fun at all and I still have filling to do soon again at the dentist.
Trophy for Rangers it is. It would be a perfect one.
Happy weekend, partner.
ah hope the filling goes well partner!
I would settle for a Rangers win today, hehe and as type this we take the lead!
Have a good one:)
Just checked now. Hibernian scored a late goal. That's painful.
us having two men straight red carded did not help!

Thanks for that, hive is fun;)
Oh, Super Ed! I knew Mrs. T had fallen off but not that she had fallen on her arse in the mud, I suppose it must have been a bit funny, and thank goodness she didn't get hurt.
A three-cup coconut bra must be of a very unusual lady, don't you think? 😂😂
The swans look lovely and I guess one of them will be Cutie pie, I could never forget his name. Of the others, I remember strawberry pie and blueberry pie, are those the ones you saw?
A very unusual lady indeed Super Eli!
Yes she was fine and we could joke about it too:)
The swans really were gorgeous and when I do a post next week I will post what I think is one of my best ever swan pics and then show the pie names:)
Cutie pie though is not one of them, he is at the park still.
Morning morning Super Ed
I look forward to seeing that pic 🦢🦢😍
A couple of them must be the berries because I remember there was a blackberry pie too now that I think about it, but I don't remember the fifth name.
Now I'm going to make coffee to read the end of Billy Binman, last night I saw that you had posted it, but I was exhausted and didn't look at Hive. Let's see that ending hehe
Happy weekend, Super Ed :)
Good good good morning Super Eli, I am just watching the football, another early kick off, it is half time and scored just before half time to take a 1-0 lead. Pretty dull game, we need to up the intensity!
Hehe yes I posted it last night, and need to catch up with hive today, and make a saturday savers post and thread!
Yes there were berries amongst the pies!
Ah well I hope you enjoyed the ending, and did you see the wee Ageese lookalike we saw yesterday hehe!
Have a Super Saturdau Super Eli😁
Hello hello Super Ed! your dull game turned out into an intense one from what I read in your other comment with red cards in between, I hope you didn't lose.
I'm still in doubt about whether or not to make a post for Saturday's savers club today, what do you say? I saw that you have started a thread and I'm on my way there, hehe
With the picture of the cat at one point, I thought how did Super Ed manage to have that pic of Ageese, lol I have not taken that one 🤣🤣 And I thought you did some photoshop and then I saw the cat doesn't have the cute little white speck that Ageese has at the end of his tail. hehe
Happy happy Saturday Super Ed
Happy Saturday Super Eli
I turned out a 2-2 draw:(
Ah yes the wee markon Ageese's tail! It was funny as he was sitting there on Friday when we came back from town, and so I just had to add him to the story!
I post for savers and you should too ;)
Haha.. I finally saw ducky 🤣.. Btw, happy birthday to you.. What else did you find in mud lurking? Hehe..
hehe salamat Janey, yes I took some ducky pics for you hehe, I was calling them jane janie and janey🤣🤣🤣
Found a couple of old glass jars that were intact!
You won't gonna forget me that way haha...
hehe most definitely not, how could I ever forget you 😯
Wow, so the date was 17th, I missed it but it's fine I get to know now 🥰.
Happy belated birthday to you partner, too bad you guys did not get to visit the aquarium again.
Thank you partner yes hehe was Wednesday, well the Universe decided it was time to hike to the lake to feed those animals not to goto the sea aquarium:)
Have a wonderful weekend partner:)
It's a good thing you got to feed the animals at the lack, it seems like they were really in need of you, maybe that's why you didn't get to go to the aquarium with your friend.
I will partner, you too 😘❤️.
Yes I think that was the Universe's way of go and feed the animals partner:)
Yah, I agree with you partner 🥰.
hehe it was, and how is your weekend going partner?
Smiles, my weekend is going well and smoothly, what about yours partner?
Hahaha, indeed that lady must be careless Uncle Ed! I wouldn't want to leave my bra elsewhere. Hehehe
hehe I know wee teacher, what a lazy woman🤣🤣
What an eventful birthday! I hope it was happy, nevertheless. I am sorry about the strike and the mud fall. At least though, as you didn't see the arse falling moment, Mrs T's dignity is intact!
Belaying happy birthday!
It was a perfect birthday Fiona, started off by winning a 20,000 LP delegation. The strike well it is one of things and the hike turned out way better as we saw three swan children that we had not seen since last year, so was quite chuffed that they were healthy and living in the area still. Yes apart from a muddy bum on the walk home she was fine, very happy as she found a couple of very old glass jars.
That must have been an awesome birthday walk Mr. & Mrs. T :) The coconut bra lost their straps, lol! Belated birthday Tito Ed!
hehe the strapless coconut bra! Begs the question as to who stole the straps!
Salamat CJ and have a wonderful weekend:)
Someone who might have been lurking somewhere near, lol!
Thank you lots Tito Ed, enjoy your Friday :)
hehe the lurker by that lake;)
thank you CJ, it is Saturday now for you, make it super!
Whoah………happy belated birthday and it sounds like it was a good way to celebrate.
Not sure if one would see another birthday if you laughed at the missus in the mud hehehe.
Cheers Steve, haha yes you have to be careful with your laughter🤣
😂👍
The exploring duck enthusiast strikes again hehe
Happy happy happy birthday best T! Hope you had fun yesterday? I gotta know all about it or lemme quickly peep through your posts!
jeje hell yeah JW!
Thank you thank you, it was a fun day,hope you are well and lemme peep at you!
Coconut clangers could be useful around the home, bra is one perhaps wee bit uncomfortable, coffee cups, bird feeder, ladle would need a handle, plant feeder, OK recycling is a bug bear, fashionable to say the least.
I wished you somewhere along the web knowing you added a year, same day as my Mum.
Now I see you got out and into the wild side of life, obviously a good one, not in your birthday suit but in a birthday bra!
!BEER
Actually when I was at the charity shops yesterday, in the one for the animals, I did see half a coconut filled with bird food, so am sure that is what they are. As you say, a wee bit uncomfortable 🤣
Ah yes that's right same day as you mum:)
Hehe I think the birthday bra was a bit safer that walking around in my birthday suit!

Venturing out into the green, birthday suit would have seen the funny side of life, bra was better protection I'd say.
Well have a great new year ahead!
jeje over here I would have been arrested had I ventured out in the birthday suit😂
jaja perhaps still get away with it here, not there 🙃
hehe not now maybe a few years ago yes!
