Nature Friday (sort of)

Well it's been one of those weeks.

Glorious sunshine and unheard of February warmth on the days when Gail was too busy at work to find time for a 'Nature Friday' photoshoot. The when finally she had a free afternoon, thick grey cloud had descended on Aberdeen, and the best we could manage was this picture of me posing in Tolohill Wood on the outskirts of the city, moss and ferns providing the only sign of greenery.

Absent anything else more interesting to report, I hacked into Gail's employer's 'intranet' and found some recent photos posted on a page titled 'The View from my Office Window'.

It seems that there is wildlife a plenty in the fields around Gail's office - a badger was reported early this morning but no-one managed to catch it on camera - and the big picture windows afford excellent viewing opportunities (only in the brief moments when the workers are not 100% focussed on their day jobs, obviously...)

All the more frustrating then, that the workplace has a strict 'no dogs' rule...

From around the world, it is clear that some of Gail's colleagues get to enjoy more nature...

PS I am promised a very special adventure this coming weekend. Watch this space...
