Joy of joys! I've been "UNDUMPED"! My 2 maggie friends were back at the kitchen window this morning, warbling away at me. It was like music to my ears! I'd like to think they've returned to see me, although it's been a sod (pardon my french) of a day again, cold, wet, leaden-grey sky all day and windy. They obviously welcomed some breakfast.
Just as I was beginning to think that birds are so fickle, mysterious and hard to understand, but we're talking to each other again.
The daffs are out in full bloom "tossing their heads in sprightly dance", but if they're not careful they'll find themselves decapitated, although I guess Bill would have turned out another poem if he'd witnessed that.!
Now I'm feeling guilty for neglecting to lay in some nuts and coconut shavings, so they go to the top of my shopping list tomorrow.
Btw; no chicks, but time is not of the essence yet! Thank you for your concerns.
