Great photo, you were lucky to catch I imagine. The only time I‘ve come across a Capercaillie was about 20 years ago, I startled one when orienteering , in Birnam Woods of all places, that of Macbeth fame. I was surprised at how big it was , lovely birds to see.
 
Morning all, sun coming out but rain forecast for later yet again. Proof of getting old - grandkids are growing up -asked what he would like for Christmas grandkid no1 has requested Gucci Guilty pour homme at around £60 a throw. There was me thinking I could get away with a selection box and a bag of toffees lol.
@Val P I saw a programme about Chatsworth At Christmas preparations it looked amazing. We’ve been to Bakewell a couple times too, it’s lovely there and home (if it’s still there) to one of the husband’s favourite shops - a large hardware store. He spends ages in there - who needs scenery? 🤣
Have a good day, all.💙
You know I think I saw that shop last year, it was impressive
 
Morning everyone, hope you’re all well. I’ve stopped reading about Everton’s situation it’s too stressful. I literally couldn’t get to sleep on Friday night worrying about this and the dog situation and other minor stresses around me at the moment. It’s bad news when it gets to this, so I’m enjoying reading your educated opinions but staying away from the stuff on social media which is too emotive and probably ill informed.
Great to hear you’re putting up those lights @Armaghtoffee, I love the lights and everything about the build up to Christmas. I’ve been sneaking the odd Christmas ornament out of the cupboard this week and putting them in their place around the house. This Wednesday we are going to Chatsworth House - it’s just stunning at Christmas- we went for the first time last year and had a lovely morning in Bakewell and afternoon at the hall - magical.
I‘m always interested to hear about your music that you listen to and have searched a few of the the newer ones on Spotify.
Have a great Sunday all 💙
We used to take Cal's mum every year before she developed dementia. It's magical.
 

I'm not even thinking about that....yet. I do believe however that the PL will decide that 777 are not fit and proper owners and there you go. This is in spite of the bar being set so low by Newcastle's takeover.
The comment in the judgement about a fine being unsuitable for clubs with wealthy owners is laughable considering what the sanction for the breakaway 6 was. I'm also fairly sure that if the accounts of every PL team were scrutinised, every single one of them would have some creative accounting going on. It's what accountants do - like small businesses who employ them to minimise the amount of tax they pay. Not illegal but pushing boundaries.
Avoidance not evasion

If any of the whinging teams put in a claim against us, we should insist on full financial disclosures covering the three year period from each of them. We should then demand all PL clubs have to undergo a similar audit…
 

If they do believe 777 aren't fit and proper owners, we're in a real mess as the club is apparently haemorrhaging due to Moshiri pulling away from the club.

While I do not advocate their ownership at all, I don't know what else we can currently do. But, on a positive, I suspect the ten points will be reduced on appeal.

The ten points doesn’t bother me tbh, we are playing well. It’s this open ended ‘compensation’ nonsense that will open up a can of worms as there will be no end to it……
 
Continuing the Blondie theme - Sunday Girl checking in! Had a lovely brunch with my buddies. Much alcohol supped but you really can't beat good company and lots of laughs.
Was genuinely surprised Australia won the cricket and because of the copious amounts of prosecco and cocktails I'm feeling very chilled about Everton. We'll be fine.
Also can recommend the X12 Durham to Middlesbrough bus service. Very civilised

Love and peace y'all xx

Sounds like you had a good day Anj.

Is Prosecco really all that though? Overhyped for me.
