Hi all: Here's to a problem-free week on the site. Check out the last week's final page or so for updates from everyone, including one from Maureen (HillaryH) who's back with us after a hospital stay due to a chest infection and wants directions to Google Earth. Maureen - assume you downloaded GE before? If not, just go to http://earth.google.com/ and click on the Download Google Earth 5 button at right. I can't remember right now how to load Rothes and Mallachie's route; perhaps someone else will let you know if you need additional info. Glad you're back!
Alan posted a hummingbird link (http://vimeo.com/hummingbirds#8409299) for those who missed it and the week's chat ended with a long post from OG, who'd been composing it for days but was unable to get it on the site due to the techy problems! And no OG, haven't attempted the printer-wireless problem yet; can only handle one techy problem at week it seems!!
Have a nice Sunday all. Let's see if this posts
BRENDA H As of yesterday the lady who went to Inverness to stock up for Xmas was still not home and was staying in a caravan in Durness. She thinks she may have to wait till Burns night to have her Xmas dinner!!! Think I would go veggie in future if I was her!!! She left home on the 19th to get turkey so at the very least it would put me off turkey for life!!!
CAERANN Stairway to heaven an amazing piece of music, and I do not mean the Rolf Harris version
Can hear the sound of Dillon padding upstairs and jumping on the spare bed. This is a recent habit of his to take himself off for a comfy snooze in the early evening, and despite the fact he has a comfy bed of his own he prefers our spare bed, and as he looks so cute curled up on it, we don't have the heart to turf him off!!!!
Hummer bloggers just said the eggs are the size of a small pea or tic-tac...wow, hard to imagine something hatching from a tic-tac!
Have just eaten the other half of the turkey pie I made last week...only chocolate orange left now (two pieces a night).
Terry in Cumbria
TERRY MThanks for that bit of info about the size of the humming bird eggs. It is impossible to tell from the webcam
enjoyed reading all the posts
Dibnlib, that Dillon:) My mum's dog does the same and when I say you can shut the bedroom door she scowls at me LOL They are so cute
Terry, I don't think I could ration myself to 2 pieces a day..
Diane, thanks I'll look out for that. Trouble is what is on the TV guide often isn't what they show. Very frustrating.
Hope everyone is OK, sorry if I've missed something/lots
Hi everyone.Hope everyone is doing well. Not posted for a few days so it's been good to read through the posts. Hopefully now the technical problems with the site are sorted and I'll be able to post a lot more. Anyway a belated happy Monday to everyone, and here's one of my regulars wishing you all a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2010.
Paul.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Have to agree with you DibnLib but "When the Levee Breaks" and "What Is and What Shall Never Be" are my fave Zeppelin tunes.
Thanks for the info on the hummer eggs, Terry. The live cam makes Phoebe look the size of a sparrow to me and then you see photos and realize how tiny she really is.
Did you all know Hummingbirds can see red from up to a mile distance?
Paul: Thanks for the photo and a Happily New Year to you as well. Is that visitor a sparrow?
Sure is quiet here tonight.............
All by myself! Don't wanna be all myself, anymore! doo doo doo doo doo! Anyway, that's 2 song lyric references in 1 day so I'll stop whilst I'm ahead. =O)
And now this from the XCel Energy Osprey Nest!
And before I sign off for the night and get back to my Zeppelin book, hopefully sans any more Cr**ley references, thought you'd all like this photo from the Eagle cam at Fort Saint Vrain:
