Evening all: Good turnout at the march today, although here in California (and especially Santa Barbara) protesters are mostly preaching to the choir. We heard short but good speeches from some young people and teachers from local schools and colleges. It's great to see young people so energized. Those kids from the Florida high school have really started something. Lots of calls for voting preregistration as many of them will vote for the first time in 2020.
Lindybird: Hope the baby pigeons survive this year.
Clare: Some beautiful markings on that bird. Congrats on finally spotting it.
Very springlike here today; must get into the garden tomorrow: The weeds are feeling entirely too self-confident and I have some salvia to plant while the soil is still nice and damp.
Hope things are better with Forestboar..... Also that OG has a good ride back from the festivities.
Take care everyone.
Wow, just had a quick flick through, thanks for all your news. Too many to reply to.
Leg is almost there just a bit of scabbing on the worst area which was the calf but its getting there.
I don't know what everyone is doing over Easter but hope it is a peaceful and joyous one for all.

Hello Everyone. Have been rather bogged down with events here, and elsewhere.
Thanks for all the news.
I also send Birthday Greetings to BJane, and to OG for tomorrow.
Hallo all: I see bjane is celebrating a birthday and I think EE was, but apparently OG isn't - yet. Did I miss anyone else? Hope all those with b'days around this time have a lovely day.
I see SILOs are still in the news. Tx Lindybird for another sighting (but I think I like the art on the outside).
AQ: That's a brilliant conversion job on the Bunbury silos. And yes, I have to put some time aside for that recent batch you mentioned. :-)
Lynette: When do you think you'll be back in the pool?
Rosy: How are things going on the family front?
Whale count was canceled today due to thick fog, but it gave me an hour to get ahead in the garden...
Have a good Saturday everyone.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OG!
OG's birthday falls on an auspicious day! Today is the Full Moon, and it's the second Full Moon of the month, a so-called Blue Moon. It's also the second Blue Moon of the year, a rare occurrence. We won't see another Blue Moon until October of 2020, and we won't have another year with two Blue Moons until 2037!
An important day, OG!
Wow! thats very interesting DIANA
Glad you enjoyed it, Patily!
Good Morning. Dry & cold, here.
Thanks for the latest link, AQ. I began by being fascinated by your pics of silos, then this programme about hotels gripped me because the conversion reminded me very much of how a lot of large buildings have been converted here in the North of UK -- old cotton mills and warehouses, in Yorkshire and Lancashire are now grand apartments and office space.
Everyone have a good day.
I crossed with Diane - interesting about the Blue Moons, Diane!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (again!) OG!! - I began thinking it was tomorrow....... but of course, tomorrow is April! Have a lovely day.
Good morning, all. A very happy birthday to the one and only Original Goldfinch!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Nice to see Patily on here.
