Gone ,,*++(well,going) Fishing

I have decided to stop pruning the carrots, stop being angry at time passing ---- and go fishing !

Nearly only 5 miles away !

Well, I went fushin (,first time for ages) and caught many, well several, well ok half a dozen, (nice) wee brownies (all returned) and had a lovely day.

I got to play with a stove and make tea , miles, and miles, and miles , away from home.

Nae tick, cleg or midgie bites😳.

Four wheels tho.☹️

I did think the garden plants would have come on more during my long absence.😬😇

Went troot fishin again today, successfuly, but the last wee troot caught had to have the last rites.😟.

Eye test planned for Thursday.

Not very Two wheels but they are pics

lack of use means you loose things so I had to manufacture a couple of new devices

we cannot work out why anybody would build a massive stone wall there.

I had a different kind of Eye Test today --- it being a manky day.

I decided to tie a few flees. But first had to make a few items.

Step one --strip a few individual fibres from a cock pheasant tail feather.

Step two --- tie Two Knots in each fibre to make "legs with joints". This requires patience, dexterity and decent close up eyesight --- not properties I have in abundance.

Then do it again and again and again --

Step three --- take six legs and use them to create each caricature of a Daddy Long Legs.

Step four --- well, you can guess that.

I don't know about super skilled.

Journeyman- maybe, Artisan --No.

I have only been tying flies for 60years so a long way to go to !

I did always fancy being Mr. Geschäftsführer: it does have a certain ring to it 🙄.
