The crumbling jetty.

The crumbling jetty.
A good night's sleep and a busy day. Some tidying and the kitchen got a good clean and disinfect. My groceries arrived, were put away and I immediately used some drain clear on the bath. It's been draining quite slowly so tomorrow a kettle of boiling water goes down the plughole and hopefully it will be problem solved. Went to see if there was anything to photograph in the garden but nothing excited me. I did a bit of clearing up and much to my relief Beaky appeared and began pecking around the disturbed soil. I didn't see him at all yesterday which was unusual.
Went off rather aimlessly in the car afterwards and unsurprisingly ended up in Newburgh. It wasn't the best light but I had a walk and photographed the crumbling pier. Barriers are put to stop people going onto it but everyone with a camera ignores them. Today I looked properly at the cracks. I think it's more likely to be a slow crumble than a quick collapse but who knows. Once home I took my car round to Alan's. He's fitting the new timing belt tomorrow but was checking it would be OK if it wasn't ready till Friday morning. Doesn't really matter. It's not as if I'm going anywhere.

The jetty looks in a precarious state Jean! The view however, is gorgeous. I love the silvery tones and the single boat, which you have framed beautifully. Missing your diary though Jean!

I thought there were people fishing off the pier but it would seem fishermen aren't as foolhardy as photographers...........it looks quite safe as long as you avoid the very end bit :-)

It looks very tranquil there Jean.............I love your composition and the light is gorgeous! Very nice indeed.

Good to see that Beaky is still around!

We had our jabs today........the Astra Zeneca ones. No side effects so far but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

I know many folks who've had the Oxford vaccine, and only 2 of them have had any symptoms at all. so hopefully you'll both be OK.
