Sorry you didn't get off the ground today Ian, but glad that you are feeling a bit better today.

We're not doing anything remotely interesting today - so, instead of a cute picture of a calf to brighten another murky day - here's a video of a normal calving last month. Just by chance my son looked over the pen gate at the right time.

P.S. No animals were harmed in the making of this film

Brilliant Goldie! Nature at its best.......the way the mother immediately tended to her new-born was incredible.

Horrible grey, damp morning here today. Just back with the dogs, very damp and bedraggled (all of us!). Hoping we get back to the bright very cold weather of a few days ago soon. Off to do Dad's shopping later and then out for lunch.

Harry has to go to the vets for an op tomorrow - suddenly spotted a very nasty swelling on one of his feet, think he may have a thorn or something embedded in there. Trouble is, he's so uncooperative they're going to have to sedate him to see what's going on! Hopefully nothing too major.

Hope that Harry is ok, Moulesy. 

I'm not too co-operative myself when poorly, so I know how he feels......

Happy anniversary tammy and bakers.

Best of luck with the knitting Helen. The baby ward in your local hospital might be glad of the finished product.

OH and I were going off to meet up with friends for a walk and lunch. Decided to take the X-Trail rather than the Yaris to give it a run - not been used since 29th December when we returned from December break. A few miles down the road just doing 60 in the second lane of the dual carriageway way when there was a bang and the driver's side front dipped down coupled with a slightly rough ride. 

Front 3 month old tyre ripped right through the centre for most of its circumference. 

The front coil spring had broken and ripped the tyre. No walk and pub lunch and instead home on a low loader. 

At least it didn't happen on the way back from hols with the caravan 58 miles earlier I suppose!

Thank you milliehull.

Hadn't thought about hospital as I understand it you provide your own everything for baby and you these days. I thought charity shop might raise funds with it. Will have to see if there are 'needy' charities locally. Just want to potter at knitting for a while.

Whoops 😯. Glad you both safe. At least it's fixable for a price.

Yep. Two front coil springs, Tyre and might consider replacing front shocks as the car will be 12 years old come August.

Crikey, never known a coil spring break. Leaf spring, yes but not a coil spring.

You must have done an awful lot of miles.......or maybe a lot of off-roading?

I blame Scottish roads.  smile

Not many miles though - about 66K. I have had one break before very many years ago but was not as noticeable
