Just for scale

So when Gail stopped on one of our neighbourhood walks, and asked me to 'pose nicely please' on this wall, I naturally assumed she had been overcome by the urge to capture my handsome self on camera once again (i.e. for about the 87 millionth time - but who can blame her?)

How wrong I was. It turns out it was this weird kilt wearing garden 'ornament' she wanted to photograph, and yours truly was just being used for scale.

On the subject of my handsomeness, I thought you might like a peek at Gail's work email account from last week, which illustrates how my morale-boosting impact ranges far and wide.

(Maria is a dog-loving colleague of Gail's who lives in Aberdeen but comes from Venezuela. I hope to meet her, and her two pups, one day.)

Hi Gail:
Done it, all under control…thanks for being on top, we are ready to rock and roll!.
Thanks for the support……I will miss my G&G team tomorrow, and I hope to represent all us very well tomorrow, despite all the issues, this project has been a great team effort even in the darkest hours…..
Cheers,
Maria
Principal Reservoir Engineer

Thanks Maria
Bertie wishes you best of luck tomorrow.

I am melted with that message!....he is so cute ðŸ˜Š

  6. You are looking marvelous as always Bertie. We can see why Maria melted from your cuteness. Is that garden ornament a Scottish version of a scare crow? BOL!

  7. That is one curious piece of garden art, Bertie. But we are glad it gave Gail an opportunity for us to see our handsome (and cute) friend.

  9. If you are going to be used for scale you should be paid scale.
