HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY FULL MOON (on Friday).
Last week's Chat thread is here.
I meant to tell you all this story.Early last week, during the very high winds, I had to go north for groceries. I was unloading my shopping and struggling to walk in the gales. I saw R.T. Hawk and his pale mate (the red-tailed hawk pair) riding the thermals together. R.T. started to glide over the creek toward town, and then he saw me watching him. He circled all the way back and flew right toward me. He turned into the wind and pumped his wings, so that he was hovering in one place right above me. He looked at me in the eyes for several seconds! Then he turned and flew on his way. I don't know what made him fly over to see me.I haven't seen any hawk juveniles around this year.
Everyone have a wonderful week! Nokota Wild Horses on the prairie in North DakotaLabeled Public Domain (Copyright Free)

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Congratulations, Clare. I hope it is what you really wanted!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!

Yes, LINDY, I think it will be versatile. I know what you mean, some of the things that I disposed of had not been worn for years. I got rid of a lot of very long skirts and today, in town, saw some older ladies wearing exactly the sort of thing that I had sent to the charity shop! Hey Ho, I know what I feel comfortable in, these days!
Well done, Clare. I am so pleased for you.
Pleased that you are now able to enjoy yourself with your sister and her OH, Annette.
Heather, Well done finding your outfit for the Christening. You can help me find an outfit for daughter's wedding, which will be mid September ! So many things to organise now. It obviously is not going to be a small affair :-))
I have come across a blouse, which was not cheap, still with the tags attached and is my normal size, but is miles too big !! Too late to take it back :-((
BRENDA - I don't envy you,looking for MOB outfit. When my eldest daughter, first of the flock, was marrying, I ended up in a very nice(!) shop. I mentioned that it would be a good thing if I got an outfit that could be worn again. Ha ha! I was informed that this was not an acceptable attitude, I was Mother of the Bride!!!!
