You know, these days I don't much mind Gail capturing my every move on camera when we're out and about together.
I've learned it's the price you pay for being taken on nice outings (as on Sunday, when we met our friends M and J for a gentle walk along the beach at St Cyrus).
I'm happy for M to take pictures too, especially since I know she usually remembers to bring yummy dog treats.

I do, however mind when some random stranger (that's him in the grey jacket, lurking by the rocks in the background below) starts filming me from overhead with his irritatingly buzzy little toy.

So when the drone landed close by, I was all set to pounce.
Sadly, Gail heeded the man's panicked shouts and dragged me away before I could mete out some appropriate terrier treatment...
I am now thinking of consulting Harry and Meghan's lawyers regarding breach of privacy laws...
that is the reason we get no drone... the mama fears she would be not fast enough LOL ... the beach is wonderful... but only with you as the cutest beach boy...
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a good walk Nobby, but how annoying that drone was. We had one hovering on our terrace looking in through the windows a couple of years ago. Carol and Inca watched it go all to all the houses nearby and try to see inside! You are right to consider the breach of privacy laws.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't allowed to the see the video of you, there were mutterings that it might give me ideas!
What were you up to Nobby?
Love,

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby, it's a shame you didn't get a chance to show your rodenting prowess on that drone! It even looks about the right size to fit into that hole you dug. There's no doubt that sometimes the birds eye view of the country is most attractive - but on the whole I think that should be left entirely to the birds! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Splendid digging, Nobby, and such a wonderful, empty beach.
ReplyDeleteNobby I would like to answer you as Tigger might have but I need to introduce myself properly as it will be me from now on - I'm the person that was Tigger's Humum (called F - for Fred). A pity you weren't a little quicker pouncing on that drone. We have experienced them being used in loads of inappropriate ways and places - hovering over boats in our marina, hovering along the windows of office buildings besides the Thames (that one crashed onto a balcony and although I saw where it went I declined to tell the operators who looked anything but 'official'). We guess it is one of the ways of the future, but goodbye privacy. xxx F Magnificent digging by the way - where I come from that might have scored you a Toheroa (https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20230322-toheroa-a-fabled-shellfish-that-nearly-vanished)
ReplyDeleteBummer that you didn't get to pounce, Nobby. What a perfect hole you dug and in the wonderfully soft wet sand!
ReplyDeleteif you had dug a few more minutes you might have made it to visit da phinney and do nelly or even here to meet Beau.. I wondered who had climbed those rocks, now we know.. Beaus dad has a drone, but it has no camera on it. he did not mount it, he flies for fun of it. not to pry.
ReplyDeleteNobby did you see and SEAfood in that mighty fine hole?
ReplyDeleteThat man needs to learn about prior approval and beach etiquette.

Sheesh, is nowhere private?? The least the drone owner could have done was compensate you for the breach of privacy with a tasty treat!

I don't like eyes in the sky that spy either.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun outing. We would have loved to see what would happen to that buzzy toy if you got it and gave it a good shake.
ReplyDeleteNobby, you can never let your guard down around those pesky drones. Aside from that nuisance, it looks like it was a great day. Wish we could have joined you.
