So it's Friday, and I have uploaded my 7th photograph in my challenge to take and upload a new black and white photograph every week for 52 weeks. I have named this one: "Cottage Garden (3) - Old tree stump"

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/05/15/tonopah-nevada-earthquake-aftershocks-california/5196985002/ Excerpt: "There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries in the small town of Tonopah, located about three hours north of Las Vegas. However, part U.S. 95 – the main highway between Las Vegas and Reno – was damaged and closed early Friday, the Mineral County sheriff’s office said."

Both those Danish links, on my laptop, showed a button near the top right-hand side of the web page to get an English version.

Sleep well, B!

Hopefully she'll be fine, Gary. In my experience Border Collies will bounce back from just about anything. If you feel up to it yourself, and the day isn't too bad, I'm sure she'd appreciate a long walk in the woods instead of being stuck in the crate all the time. Give her a hug from me.

I hope it cased no fatalities or serious damage

Ah now, bro.... I'd happily sentence wee Drew to 30 years penal servitude, but clo doesn't deserve quite so severe a sentence...

And beautiful. Don't forget beautiful.

Now, now, clo... Don't be mocking something so innocent and beautiful.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Hi, clo Not much sun here yet, but the day should improve. Quite cold this morning, but the forecast is that last night should have seen the last of the frosts. That's good news, as my potatoes are finally starting to show shoots above the ground (saw the first one yesterday - now there are about seven). I sowed two seed trays with cabbage seeds yesterday, one with summer cabbage, and one with a winter variety. The runner bean seeds I sowed in deep pots about two weeks ago have finally started sprouting. Currently about 17 of the 55 have sprouted. And 49 of the 50 onion sets are now growing happily - hopefully the 50th was just planted a little deeper than the rest and will appear eventually. Strawberry plants have plenty of flowers, but I reckon I won't harvest any fruits until well into June. I also sowed some nasturtium and calendula seeds two days ago, and must get some of my other flower seeds sown. Good luck with the exams, and you enjoy your day!

Great minds, bro. Great minds.

Don't worry too much about it, bro. It happens to the best of us at times. You may have noticed that I frequently give some comment like "Flipping typos!" as a reason for me editing many of my comments on here.

Probably be for the best if Steve doesn't find out, though..?

Way past my bedtime. Goodnight, everyone.

I'm hoping it isn't.

Who's this Hank fellow? And just why does he need sanitising? Something you've not shared with us, Gary?

I love the way you are able to speak on Albert's behalf...

Perhaps of relevance to the above is the following message that Metalert Ireland posted on Facebook this afternoon... That hosepipe ban may happen after all...

And they don't need a chair to reach those high places.

Maybe remind me again if I've not shared any by Monday or Tuesday...

I do. But they're not at hand just at the moment. I'll dig a few out over the next day or two.

That is a beautiful photo! Here's one, not quite as sharp as that one, that I was fortunate to get in October 2015, when I was on a trek to Machu Picchu in Peru:

Hello, young Albert!
