HAPPY NEW WEEK! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
LINDY That is beyond cute.
Heading off for a swim shortly. Not too many lengths as I am a bit bunged up, and so tire quickly. Meeting friend after and will hear how her hols with the family in Jamaica went. Swimmingly I presume!!!!
Unknown said: I looked at my niece's homework a few months ago, and I realized that I know absolutely nothing about today's math.
Unknown said:I have enjoyed all of your beautiful photos!!! Your passion for your photography shows in your work.
Unknown said:R.T. Hawk scared me last night, because he started to scream repeatedly at 2:00 a.m. I'm still not sure what was distressing him or whether there was danger present for him and/or me!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Can't do maths. My father decided that that must mean I was too stupid, because I struggled with it, and ignored the fact that I got glowing reports for my English tests. If only he'd sat down with me and tried to teach me to get to grips with the basics of maths, I might have got at least some qualifications in it!
Diane -- You live so much closer to Nature than the rest of us on here, but I suppose it comes at a price. I hope all is well with both you and your RT Hawk.

Continuing with the catching up - I got these at Minsmere on Monday last week. If you'd like to see more click on this goldcrest:
No weather so far today – can’t believe how normal it seems out there – but still cold.
AQ – I hope joint Nanny Day went well and your OH had a good walk to tire out either the girls or the dog! I love Minestrone soup!
Annette – new scooter has some extra features – only annoyance is the warning noise when reversing – rather overdone safety feature to my mind! Suspension is brilliant – such a comfortable ride! Happy whale-counting! Have you switched from Mondays to Wednesdays?
Diane – I don’t like the idea of privatising space travel – especially the ISS.
Linda – Bonny shouldn’t be rewarded for her catch by being allowed to eat it – basic child and pet psychology! It would also mean you don’t have to suffer the disgusting consequences, but I hope OH’s cut finger isn’t too deep.
Dibnlib – pleased friend was able to visit yesterday.
I was very good at Maths when it came to the advanced stuff, but now lack confidence in simple arithmetic – give me calculus and mechanics any day.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Snowing! That wasn't forecast down here - we must have moved to a higher altitude when I wasn't looking!
OG - Impossible to catch her and take the rabbit from her. We just had to be glad that she ran home with it! On the way, apparently, she chewed it on a neighbours front lawn as my poor OH huffed and puffed to catch up with her from 3 fields away.
Snowing here, now, big flakes, and a bitterly cold wind. Went out to feed the birds and it felt like Korea!!
Been out -- my OH drove the car and dropped me off outside Waitrose, where I bought one of their Specials for tonight. Then he sat in the car whilst I ran into another shop for supplies. I had on a pair of warm trousers, a thick vest, my thickest sweater, two scarves, my winter double layered coat, and a woolly hat! In spite of all that, the wind was freezing!
It stopped snowing but the blustery wind is still growling around the house now.
Love your Minsmere photos, Clare. The birds certainly seem to appear for you!
Seeing your Woodpecker reminds me that yesterday we saw a GS Woody in the garden, when my Friend called around. Even she was impressed, seeing him hanging on our peanut feeder, and she is not particularly a bird lover!
