HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a good week.
There was a major ruckus over my patch this past week. A dispute arose between the flock of Crows and the Barred Owl pair. I don't know what the issue of contention was, but the crows filled the sky cawing and squawking loudly, and the owls' booming hoots filled the forest for nearly an hour.
We had a couple of days of record-breaking warmth that made everyone shake their heads in surprise. It was 67F or 19C in my area with glorious sunshine. So very strange for February. It's back to winter now with snow coming next week.
So nice to see Heather back. Take care and don't try to do too much, Heather.
Love and hugs to all.
A bird greeting on Valentine's Day to you All:
(Not my photo, pinched it from elsewhere)
No Valentine's Day in this residence - it was OH's birthday (one with a big 8 in front). Our evening meal was a replica of Xmas Day - turkey roll, roast potato & carrot plus broccoli & cauli with trimmings (grsvy, cranberry, stuffing). Followed by choc cream pie. All washed down with. . . tap water.
In tonight's episode of Scottish Isles I shall be visiting Islay & Jura.
Good morning, all. Thought you should know about this - they're upgrading the Community and it looks like it'll be unavailable from midday tomorrow.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Pat O said:One place I visit regularly has a book on one of their shelves on 'Teach Yourself Ancient Greek'. To my knowledge it hasn't moved for about eight years. I'm trying to pluck up courage to ask if they want it any more ...
Sounds like you should ask. It's a fascinating language - I learned a little of it at high school and was later told I'd managed to end up at the only state school in the whole of East Anglia which taught it.
