A new mural

What do you think of  this new piece of wall art, which recently appeared under the bridge where Great Southern Road crosses the Deeside Way*? 

Gail and I rather like it. 

PS Following from Monday's post about my little parking permit 'misdemeanour' (so-called), I am pleased to report that Gail received this nice reply to her request  - accompanied by photographic evidence - for a replacement permit.

*Deeside Way - a disused railway line converted to a traffic free route out of Aberdeen. Used by cyclists, dog walkers,  runners etc. But not, as far as we know, by four-legged creatures riding bicycles!

Permission to shred?

Look, here I am, 'posing nicely' on my Sunday walk in the grounds of Castle Fraser. Butter wouldn't melt etc. 

So why am I apparently in Gail's bad books? Again.

It seems to be connected with an email Gail sent to the local council on Saturday, part of which is reproduced below. 

I just don't get it. As any friend of my owner will attest, she can be heard complaining frequently and at length about the fact that each year she is required by Aberdeen City Council to fork out a whole £60 for the privilege of parking in the street in front of her own home, in a residential area where there is no pressure on parking spaces.

But when, terrier-style, I express my solidarity with Gail's objections to the whole parking permit scam, I'm given a hard time. 

Life is so not fair.
