After the toad-related trauma of a week ago, I am happy to report that things have been a bit calmer back in Aberdeen these past few days.
On Friday we went for a pleasant walk along the Old Deeside Line from Duthie Park to Cults. Where once was a railway station there is now a kiosk selling snacks and, according to Gail, some of the best coffee to be found in these parts.
Everywhere we go, I like to make friends. Gail says that if I were to take a personality test I would, unlike her, score highly on 'extroversion'.
While Gail was enjoying her morning caffeine fix I was having fun with the sandy coloured pup on the left here.
His name is Cody and he was totally up for a noisy game of chase around the outdoor seating area. Apparently he is a 'griffon-mix' and was rescued from the streets in Spain a year ago. I wonder how he likes our Northern climate?
We caught the bus back into the city and of course I made another friend - human this time. I allowed her to tickle my ears, which we both enjoyed.
Walking home from the bus stop, I paused to say hi to this fine furry fellow. I don't think he'll be too troubled by our Aberdeen winters.
Back at base, I reassured Gail that she's my best friend of all.
