As the brains and the beauty behind @BartecMunicipal I know a bit about bins. When I’m not doing bins, I’ll be with my Kenwood Chef or walking the dogs.

This holiday, like every one before it, I’ve reorganised my desk, sorted through emails and have a set of plans and goals for the new year.
Sadly, every other bugger has done exactly the same so on Jan 3rd my careful plans will be buried under the demands of everyone else’s new focus and productivity.
Today is “new desk” day and for a 50+ adult I am ridiculously excited.
I’ve spent almost a month decorating our living room so it can be a nice evening room and half of it my new office.
I’m not great at actually finishing stuff but I’m actually pretty close to doing this…
Well done to Miele for sorting out our washer. The door glass broke (less than 3 years old) and after nearly three weeks and two cancelled engineer visits I got grumpy with them.
Fair play, they shipped us a brand new, higher spec, machine. They delivered, installed and removed the old one, all without charge.
Short-Eared Owl
Late winter and into early spring sees some of the raptors that breed on Mull returning to their territories.
I had been watching hen harriers for much of the day, doing their sky-dancing courtship displays, when this short-eared owl burst out of the undergrowth, and firmly grabbed my attention.
As it flew past me, it turned its head to look right at me. What a stunning bird.

Today I took a stroll with my little-used 12-50mm Olympus lens. I only bought it as it was silly cheap on a trip abroad and it’s never really been a favourite.
Today I discovered that the little macro button that didn’t seem to do anything lets you push the zoom ring forward and suddenly it’s a 1:2 genuine macro lens!
I’ve never owned a macro lens (well, not knowingly!!) so this is quite exciting…
“We looked at 100 deaths and only 1 person died whilst drinking tea. If you are drinking tea then you are, statistically speaking, much less likely to die.”
I am not a statistician, I’m case you were wondering… 😀
