Hi everyone. If you didn't check the last few pages of the previous week, it was very busy. I'm going to catch up all the latest posts after dinner.
Hello.Sandy R Poulter. Your post just shows me how intellegent ospreys actually are. :-)Paul.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.

You can see why they make the effort to get there! ;-))
Morningl/evening all: Tiger: Watford used to be a pretty town, what with the flower beds in the roundabout in front of the Town Hall, the old pond with iron railings and a busy High Street; then they "modernized" it....... AQ: That's right, Christmas in summer; keep forgetting so dirt roads not so bad then. My daughter lived on a ranch for a couple of years and had same problem in winter with gulleys, muddy slip-n-slide roads. Correspondence school, eh? So not too many friends nearby? Did you ride horses? OG: Bright idea re opening one prezzie - a couple of generations too late for me! No partridge in a pear tree at your feeder then? Stay well. Alan: I don't know how we stay married sometimes. :-) I see the swan was killed by a predator, but being clueless I wonder which predator that might be. I keep trying to snatch a photo of our hummingbirds but they come and go so quickly by the time I've grabbed the camera they've gone again. jsb: Thanks so much for cheery photo. Heron: Re smiley faces, I just hit Shift+colon, then normal dash sign, then Shift+parenthesis. I'm with you on easy-wrap gifts; my "soft" ones look like someone sat on them so I try to distract recipients with lots of ribbon. No doubt you put rubber gloves in box?! :-) Auntie: Love those old sayings.
Sorry to report but sunny here with expected high of 63F/17C, (I feel quilty reporting nice weather when everyone else except AQ and Wattle are so cold; let me know if you'd rather not know.)
Auntie, that is way too cold for me, with or without a wind.
Sandy R Poulter, when are you organising the trip for us all to go and visit the ospreys? I rather like those temperatures.

Hello.Auntie: It sounds absolutely freezing where you are. I'm getting cold just think about those temperatures. A few years ago it plummeted to -18 in Glasgow but that's a very rare occurrence. :-)Annete in SoCal. Thanks for the info about smiley faces, I think I'll just stick to the shift, colon etc. method. :-) By the way I've never given rubber gloves as a gift. However as a child I did buy my mother a rolling pin for either birthday or Mother's day. I can still rember the look on her face, this was only surpased a few years later when my dad gave her a bottle of perfume that was contained within a large platsic bucket one Christmas. There was shock, fury, then joy, all within the space of a few moments. My mum died 10 years ago this August. I still sometimes miss all the funny moments when it comes to the festive season. Alan Petrie: Thanks for the ospreycam link. :-)
Paul. :-)
