Swede’s PhotographsGood morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️1 June 2025I often call Charlie 'Charlie McGee' or some other variation, in tribute to his Scottish heritage. He's a border collie, after all. Of course, he's completely unaware of all that—except for the 'Charlie' part; he knows his name. When we're out in the yard and he wanders off, all I have to do is call, 'Charlie!' and he comes running around the corner. He’s every bit a working dog, always accompanying me when there’s yard work to do. Though his role is more supervisory—lounging in the shade while I cut the grass or, as I like to say in French, 'mow-de-lawn'—a classic grandpa joke. He does his part well. When he first arrived at our home, he spent much of his time trying to herd us around—must be in his genes."My fashion philosophy is if you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is empty." — Elayne Boosler<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/morning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morning</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/pigeons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pigeons</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dogs</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BorderCollie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderCollie</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RockPigeons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RockPigeons</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RockDoves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RockDoves</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/doves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doves</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographer</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birdphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdphotography</a>

WenSilent Sunday - if onlyThe view from the pillow at 5.00 am this morning, everyone interested in breakfast and a run (well there was a bit of a disagreement between feline and canine of on their relative importance) and no interest whatsoever in allowing anyone to sleep or even get on with the renovation work.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/CatsOfMastiodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CatsOfMastiodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BorderCollie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderCollie</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/MorningCall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MorningCall</a>

WenMorning run. A cool but not cold morning and no rain. We ran from Hassendean across through Denholm and up to Ruberslaw, returning almost the same way. Approximately 8k road and 10k tracks. The tracks were dry and despite a little rain overnight the exposed tree roots on the mid section of the run up to the peak were not treacherous (come a cropper there before).<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Running</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ScottishBorders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScottishBorders</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Ruberslaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ruberslaw</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BorderCollie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderCollie</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a>

WenLunchtime runWe ran from Harestanes up to the Waterloo Memorial and back, a mainly circular route, all tracks, 8.5k. A lovely temperature.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_Monument" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_Monument</a>The third photograph shows the lochan that many years ago we unwisely thought 'looks lovely let's get in'. Turns out there is 1m of water above a thick, deep sludge so never again - plastic bags on the seats of the car and several showers to get clean again.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#running</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ScottishBorders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScottishBorders</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BorderCollie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderCollie</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/NoSwimming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoSwimming</a>

Pixelcats⁷Manneke and I went to the vet today, and I can report that he loves her very much (I'm trying not to get jealous! 😍), and the treatment for his arthritis seems to be working well.

WenMorning runA combination of roads and tracks up through the Mintos (makes two little hillocks sound grand doesn't it 🤣). After a year of relatively gentle running (not enough time) we are just getting back to doing a reasonable distance per day, even if split over 3 sessions. The dug still waits for me with a slightly pained look on his face. 13k, missed the showers and a very comfortable temerature.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Running</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ScottishBorders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScottishBorders</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Minto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Minto</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BorderCollie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderCollie</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a>

WenA morning run. Coming south this morning on an errand, the dug and I took advantage to run an old favourite, St Boswells down the Tweed and back via Dryburgh Abbey. Only 8k, almost all trail with a small bit of road. And for those of us who feel that a cake is an essential part of the ritual, remember that Main Street Trading is closed on Mondays :-) <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#running</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ScottishBorders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScottishBorders</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BorderCollie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderCollie</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/CoffeeAndCake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoffeeAndCake</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StBoswells" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StBoswells</a>

BethWe had our lunch, Skye had some of mine, of course. We hung around for a while, naming the peaks we could see, watching the weather front coming in from the south. And then it was time to head back. Water wasn't a problem this time as the summit ridge had a wee lochan which was still wet.

BethGlas Bheinn - the grey green hill, can be climbed from the A894 near Loch na Gainmhich in less than 2 miles. Or as I chose on Friday, a 5 mile wander from Inchnadamph which passes through normally boggy ground and beside picturesque lochs to the rocky east ridge. contd...<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DogsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BorderCollie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderCollie</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/HillWalking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HillWalking</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ScottishHighlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScottishHighlands</a>
