    I know politics isn't an overly welcome topic on here but I've got to share this story with anyone who would like to see less coverage of a certain Mr Farage in the news.  To say I nearly died laughing is an understatement!

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

    Good Morning, All.  Windy here, already. 

    Started the day laughing, as hadn' t seen the moment mentioned by Clare.  I have the small narrow calendar, with Garden Birds.

    Hope all goes well for Lynette at the hospital today.

    Was sorry to hear that dear old Desmond Carrington has died - on the radio for 35 years!

    And Dame Vera Lynn is 100 years old, and relasing a new record - why am I complaining about my knees?

    She's amazing, isn't she?  Not too many singers keep their voices past 60 or 70, let alone 100.

    HEATHER    yes, I had a cataract op on my right eye just over 3 years ago. the left eye now has a cataract developing, though not ready for op yet.

    Had no idea Dame Vera was touching 100. What an amazing lady.

    Apparently Dame Vera is 100 on March 17th.  The album is rather cleverly using previous recordings of hers, I think. With the addition of singers such as Alfie Boe.  If anyone wants to buy it, it will be titled "100" . She is one of those people who seem indestructible.

    Dibnlib:  You are hanging on in there!  A friend of mine had a daughter who had lots of problems with her teeth, her eyes and her ears as a child. My friend said "She is fine, from the neck down, LOL!"  (The girl grew up alright, eventually....)

    The wind has been gusting around, here. I know its worse elsewhere so hang on to your hats, everyone, especially those in the worst areas.

    If you've been enjoying the photos I've been posting you really need to check out this thread.  There's some absolutely beautiful contributions from all over the Community.

    Off to get a haircut this afternoon. Hoping to hear news from LYNETTE and OG. Also wondering how MARGO is doing.

    Clare - some really lovely photographs on that thread.  Thanks for the link.  I particularly like the deep-sea diver/kraken!  Wonder where it is?  I am amazed how people can get such fantastic pictures - I even have problems with my almost-tame robin who poses beautifully but still looks fuzzy!  Perhaps I should just give in and enjoy other people's far better attempts.
