Monday Musings from the beach

in #hive-106316 β€’ 2 years ago

Hello Hello hivians especially the Silver Bloggers and dreemers and ecencians reading this!

Some of you might know that I am not overly fond of pizza πŸ•πŸ•πŸ• , if there is nothing else to eat, then I will eat it, but given a choice I would and do quite happily choose something else.

So imagine my disdain when I popped down to our local beach and the first thing that I see is this ....

and this

Domino's and Coca Cola are two popular and massive brands, perhaps we should tax people for not disposing of their rubbish! So before I did anything else I picked them up and put them in the bin. It's not hard so let's all do our bit.

Would I have rather done something else, hell yeah I would, like be in control of this wee bad boy that came zooming past on the water...

Even the ravens decided to take a break from eating to have a look see at what was going on!

It was quite warm out there and one of the gulls wanted to cool off so was practising the look no hands face wash manoevre!

Then some of them carried out the bird version of dipping your toes in the water!

There was some low lying cloud which kept the temperature down, but it was still a cracking day!

Leaving you with last night's moon, only two more nights until the Full Moon!

Actually before I close I just want to remind people that are in the dreemport ecency challenge, that week 2 has started, you are now in a team of four! Check the latest post Ecency DreemPort Challenge : Week 2 details! from @dreemport which explains all.
So if you see the following banner on your post

Then be informed that one of The Charming Rascals @tengolotodo @olawalium @george-dee or @fragozar01 has paid you a visit😁


Whilst I am on about challenges, do you know that the Silver Bloggers have just released their BOM contest for July?
I think it is a cracker so do check it out Blog of the Month - New theme for Tuesday 19 July
So if you are over 40 why not submit an entry, you never know you might just be a winner!


Okay, this time I am away as I have some evolution to spread around Hive! I hope that you enjoyed this and have a fantastic week!

People! We have such a HUGE litter problem.... As far as possible, everything I do for may stall is NOT PLASTIC.

And that is one reason why we would buy from your stall. It is staggering how much people still don't care and just act like irresponsible arseholes for want of a better word! Thank you for doing your bit Fiona!

I actually need to write about this and how doing this is in my DNA

I actually think that you need to :)

I will add it to that list... I should try to do it this month: #plasticfree July here.

That would be cool and I like #plasticfree

A tax on waste would definitely do the magic, imagine a world where we will be charged double for processed food in cans, plastics, or packs and we will only get a refund back if we return the packs, bag, or whatever it was packaged in.

Mismanaging waste is hurting the world and I think its time we pay attention to it, we are suffering the consequences not nature.

Yes I think it would help for sure George. I remember we used to buy soft drinks in bottles, and when we returned the glass bottle we got a coin, they should do that again!
It will be the ruination of mankind!

Perfekt

Thank you Thank you

Thats a shame that people just discard their rubbish everywhere. Some people have some really dirty habits and are inconsiderate!

Great moonshot btw. Was that taken with a P1000?

Inconsiderate is too polite a word for it Steve, I know what I do to them 🀣🀣🀣
The camera is my Canon Powershot HS70 Bridge, a cracking little thing with an awesome zoom!

Well deserved too Ed! πŸ˜…

Great camera!

I love your banner β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️ it is beautiful. You should totally do one for the charming ladies since we are like siblings in this competition πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€.

I love pizza and a bottle of coke anyday but I won't dispose it that way. That was very thoughtless of the person that did it and very thoughtful of you to have picked it up. Well done Tengo.

I see you spent your day with your birds as usual.

Hehe your banner that you made The Sassy girls was awesome with a capital A zyzy! If you wish something then fire away jeje;)
Yes dirty bastards, just put the rubbish in a bin, there was one about 25 yards from there, so no fricking excuse!
The birds, well nature and wildlife is my calm space, there were some dogs too, but I popped in the birds :)

Eli has made one for us just as beautiful as yours πŸ˜€πŸ˜€. I'm loving it already and I'll use it each time I sprinkle love πŸ˜€

Hi Super Ed!

I love pizza, but not so much Dominos to be honest. However, I don't like at all litter on the beach of any kind and it pisses me off people who do that.

I'd love to dip my feet in the sea right now like those seagulls πŸ˜‚.

By the way thanks for the reminders of the challenges in action hehe. I imagine you with a πŸ“£πŸ“£πŸ€£

Countdown to that full moon, I'm waiting for that pic.

This sassy girl, even if you don't like it too much πŸ•, will treat you to a slice of !PIZZA

Hola Hola Super Eli!
I !LUV your banner, I knew you would come up with something totally amazing and SASSYworthy!
See @zyzymena I did tell you that you were going to have the best partner ever!
The big chains I don't like, whether it is food or coffee, I think they are a rip off!
The full moon, I hope no clouds;)
Yes I am out there, recruiting for contestants jeje
Have a Magical Monday and a wonderful week :)

Thank you thank you :)

The big chains I don't like, whether it is food or coffee, I think they are a rip off!

Me either ;

If I ever need a recruiter, you are hired Super Ed πŸ˜†
My fingers are 🀞 for no clouds so you will be able to get that pic πŸŒ•

A magic week to you too and to Eddie W.;) maybe with some magic, some wee stories will come up πŸ˜„

Yes I did not think you would be a fan of the big chains, so none of them are on our lists Super Eli!
The magic week needs to produce at least one wee magical story!
Oh I long for a cloudless night on Wednesday:)

Oh, I don't expect less than a wee magical story from you this week.
I hope the full moon as well as your nephew will inspire you :)

Funnily enough I have a story I need to write asap before I forget to do it!

Write write Super Ed!!! Now is me who is curious hehe

jeje you will read over the next couple of days Super Eli, I am loving your ttt today!

You said so and she has proved to be the best. I am loving every moment spent with her. I have downloaded the banner @coquicoin but it is not uploading when I try to upload it. I wonder why.

Like Super Eli says, just do the right clickety-click and then bish bash bosh Bob's your uncle and the banner is in situ!
Yes @coquicoin she is

Have you written a post today, ttt maybe, I need to do that now, I am so late again!

I almost spill the coffee πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Today you won the gif's crown LOL 😻

jaja that has been a long time since I won the Gif crown and the engagement crown!

Haha, the titles are going back to where they belong. King of the Engagement, Lord of the Mojis, and Substitute Master of the Gifs, because this last one is mine, but I cede it to you today 🀣🀣🀣

You don't have to upload it every time. You can copy the image address if you are having problems uploading.
You only have to right-click on the image and click on the copy image address option.
Let me know if it works for you, if not I'll leave you the address on Discord.

Alright. I will check discord and get the address . I am certain that would work but I will have to try it out first. Thank you for showing me the sassy way πŸ€—πŸ€—

Ok I will share it in Discord :)

PIZZA!

PIZZA Holders sent $PIZZA tips in this post's comments:
@coquicoin(1/5) tipped @tengolotodo (x1)

You can now send $PIZZA tips in Discord via tip.cc!

Nice pics @tengolotodo! It looks like the weather can be sunny and warm in Scotland, right?

In regard to the garbage on the beach, I'm sorry about that. I guess people without culture and a lack of consciousness are everywhere! 😀

Then be informed that one of The Charming Rascals @tengolotodo @olawalium @george-dee or @fragozar01 has paid you a visit😁

Yes, I love it! πŸ‘

I think the same way, if they knew the negative effect of throwing waste here and there then they will stop it but some know and still go on to pollute the environment.

Some will never change!

Sadly, I think you are right

Yes, unfortunately so, although I do tell people off for dropping litter!

.>..although I do tell people off for dropping litter!

Excellent! πŸ’ͺ

Yes I have had a few choice words with people!

Do they get angry! What do they say?

Many people have turned off their social conscience

You would be surprised but yes we do get sun and blue skies sometimes!

The garbage, yes unfortunately these people are everywhere:)

Yes let the fun commence:)

I think I mention this before, but I'll do it again. Scotland is on my bucket list of places to visit. What is the best month to visit for people that don't enjoy constant rain? 😊

ah well normally I find May and September the best months, quite often they can be warm and good weather, and there are not as many tourists so much less expensive and less busy etc.
The rain hmm well I live on the East Coast (Edinburgh) which generally is drier than the West Coast
(Glasgow). However the weather is unpredictable nowadays.

ah well normally I find May and September the best months, quite often they can be warm and good weather,

Sounds good! I'll keep that in mind! πŸ‘

and there are not as many tourists so much less expensive and less busy etc.

Those damn tourists! 🀣

Those damn tourists! 🀣

haha yes them!!!

We never littered. We have nine kids in our family and my mom would have killed any one of us if we littered. See? I taught my kids. Aren't those things parenting responsibility? I would like to pass it off to others, but, when it comes right down to it, we should want our kids to be good citizens.

Aren't those things parenting responsibility?

Yes yes yes they are. If our children see us doing something then it is only natural they do the same. Too many parents are ehmm lacking in parental responsibility for want of a better phrase!

Its a perfect phrase.

Keeping our surrounding clean is a good thing to do, because cleanliness brings good health, the Ravens are beautiful, πŸ₯°

Oh absolutely, cleanliness is a way for us to stay in good health!
The ravens really are beautiful and thanks for popping in today, may you have a wonderful day 😁

You are right and you too, have a good day

Beautiful photography as usual. Wait! I thought anyone could actually post in the silver bloggers community but it's for forties?

I pop in here through Dreemport πŸ€—

jeje yes that is why called silver for silver hair lol but hopefully one day they and dreemport will do a challenge:)

So much life in this post that i wonder if I'm the one getting old! I do love how you manage to captivate your readers with a simple walk on the beach. I'm not overly fond of pizza too. Not like they make great ones here anyway. I may be a coca-cola addict πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ. I look forward to your evolution around. Ya know...
Love me, love me,
Evolute with me
LMAO. I copied Justin Bieber by the way and I'm here thanks to Dreemport.
Also, keep Acing Forte.

Aha the girl and her coca-cola! Thanks Deraa it is fun to try and make things interesting or worth reading, so I appreciate that comment very much!
I am loving your banner too:)
Don't forget to check Discord for what Dreemie wrote about submissions to dreemport now:)

Yes I read it. Truth be told, I am still confused. Would you be as kind to settle this for me in the DMs?

Confused, of course I will, I will get a coffee, there is no need to say something here though, you can always hit that message button in Discord, however, give me about 8 minutes and 42 seconds and I will be there πŸ˜‹

And he counted time...sheeshπŸ˜‚

jeje and I was on time!

Yay! πŸ€—

The garbage thrown around is really sad. I hope people become aware.

We can only hope and educate them!

You are absolutely right

Thanks and have a great week :)

I don't appreciate those who drop things on the floor when they can properly dispose of it without much hassle. It's something I can't understand too and it bothers me a lot. Good to see you do what they should have done.

I am still jealous of the amazing views you are always treated to. Nature's beauty in abundance. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΎπŸΈπŸΈπŸΈπŸΉπŸΉπŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽŠ

Someone has to partner. Better me than it damages the wildlife!
The views hehe they are gorgeous and an every day occurrence for me partner :)

I'm jealous of that right now πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I hate it when people litter. Perhaps we should tax the corporations that produce the garbage.

That would be a great idea, I am all with you:)

I took some tourists to Niagara Falls once. When we got there I was HUMILIATED because all over the ground were discarded coffee cups from a famous fast food coffee chain. What kind of people go to a natural destination, drain their coffee cup and then toss it over the rail of the viewing platform?

Ah damn, I feel for you, and can only imagine just how you felt. It really is deplorable the way people act and toss shit away.

When will people learn? I'm afraid most of them are so stubborn that even a tax won't change their mind. So sad.
Well done for picking it up! πŸ‘‹
Thanks for sharing the nice pictures of the birds, they made me forget the ugly pizza box and Coke bottle!

Yes some people will always be arses I am afraid!
IF we do all a little, then we can do masses overall.
the birds always make me smile though, and make you forget the troubles.
thanks for popping in :)

Thank you Tito Ed for being the awesomest soul out there :) Darn those people who doesn't know how to use the trash can. You sure had a beautiful day at the beach and so as your feathered friends :) All the best on your Dreem challenge! The banner is very cool!

aww aren't you sweet CJ, salamat 😁
Idiots is the term for them CJ, I despise them really I do.
Well I do love how there no pretences with our feathered friends, what you see is what you get, not like us humans and there two faces🀣🀣🀣
Have a wonderfully wicked rest of your week :)

Hahaha, I was avoiding to use the word but you did, lol! Guess that's why non-humans are best haha. But I'm not discounting the awesomeness of people too and I'm not losing hope in humanity, lol! Thank you Tito Ed and have an equally lovely evening where you are :)

WEll there will always be some rotten apples in an orchard!
Have a wickedlywonderful Wednesday CJ and bed for me I think, it has past 2 am damn!

Oh my, that's too early to bed, lol! Sweet dreams Tito Ed. Have a restful night

jaja yes an early night it was CJ< enjoy your Thursday!

That's a great write-up
People should be more conscious to dispose off their wastes, even if they don't like it for the benefit of others living around them

Popped in via @dreemport

Thank you so much for popping in, how are you enjoying dreemport?
Yes, I do wish that people would be much more conscious in disposing of things, it is us to us to help our planet!

Dreemport is really a beautiful space πŸ’•
Exactly... It's for our own good

Yes I think it is :)
For our own good I agree:)

You did a really good thing picking thise trash and taking it to where it was supposed to be.

I can see the gull was feeling really refreshed.

It's a good thing you added some information about the challenge, I'm sure it will help a lot of dreemers so I think a reblog will help too ☺️.

You are a star partner!
Well people are so dirty, I just get annoyed haha, I am sure I will be doing the same the next time I go there!
The gulls do refresh themselves well:)
I hope that you are having a good day partner. I am still looking at sites for you...

Thank you partner ☺️😘.

It's really possible you will see even more, I wish everyone can just do the right thing even for once.

Yes they are sure refreshed.

My day was okay and yours?

Sure, I will be expecting something 😊.

I love the team banner and will surely use it to make EVOLution sit on the tiles of our blockchain.

I imagine that what you feel for pizza has been further strengthened with this unwanted gift on the beach: But you are a hero, a grain of garbage less always adds up. I loved this whole post, capturing every detail and sharing it with us, you have been very generous. I want to go to the beach so much, I think I deserve it.

I'll go see the Silver Blogger challenge, I'm sure I'll sign up for something to share. Excellent content to start the week friend. Greetings.

I am so happy that you like the banner!
Yes feel free to use the banner.
Very true words, a grain of garbage less always adds up, that is what I tell people. We can all do a little, then it become a lot!
I think you would have a good story to tell us in the Silver Bloggers challenge:)
Have a great week Ramon

Thats so planet loving of you to dispose the waste, it’s the little things lol.
Meanwhile I still can’t believe how the hell I missed this dreemport’s new challenge 😭 I did everything T!

It is the little things JW and we can all do them.
Next time I am going to pester you before the challenge, and if you miss it, yer arse will be skelpt!
