A Cracking Week
Morning ALL and thanks for updates also for the link to the latest blog Sandra.
Can't believe it is wet and miserable here again Patily - just when is it going to end?
Maya settled just now and one the bobs has its head out - hopefully it soon gets back under mum
I wouldn't have got this were it not for PATILY's comment and snap on previous page - I'd chucked that session in the bin, thinking it was too out-of-date to be useful, given others' coverage.
patily said:33 brought half a fish a minute or so ago and both bobs getting breakfast
I've made this vid Unlisted cos there's something substandard about it. Anyway, just for the record:
IMAGICAT
08:34 33 brought in an awkward stick and trampled about placing it then Maya stepped in!! Some captures
off balance
