Good morning all - late after a good night's sleep 😁 - from an unexpectedly gloriously sunny and frosty day on the Angus coast. I really do feel for all you folks suffering under so many rainy days, but the norm here is for a lovely winter/spring followed by wind and rain off the North Sea during the summer. So think of us when you're basking under a too-hot sun soon!
Happy birthday to the DDs of Bellasnana and Mizuna. Your DD sounds as if she is made of the same resilient, kind and cheerful stuff as her dear mamma. A real tribute to you! Enjoy your facetime with your DD later Bella.
Happy Birthday too to Jax, and Happy Anniversary also. Sad that your knee means any exciting celebrations will have to be delayed, but enjoy your carry-out - and memories.
Happy Anniversary too to Mr and Mrs Corner! Goodness what a day of celebrations this is 🥳🎉.
Ash so glad you managed a phone call with a doctor yesterday - at least now you can feel supported.
Brook enjoy your weekend in Cambridge and your DGS's 🎂🎈.
I'm off in a minute to put more food out for the hungry birds - which will no doubt be eaten in minutes by those two beautiful bullies, the magpies! All the little birds (mainly sparrows, great tits, robins and blackbirds) feed happily together, but they all clear off noisily to the hedge when the magpies appear. I have to remind myself that they are god's creatures too!
Then later when the sun is on the pond I shall wander down there and feed the fish and carry out my usual exercise of trying to count them. I know (I think) there are 20, but I suspect that there may be a couple or so who have survived last year's spawning and grown large enough to be seen this year. If only they'd all stay still for a moment .......
In the meantime I shall take a walk around the house with the vacuum cleaner.
Enjoy your days everyone, whatever they may bring, and I hope all the poorlies have a better day today 🦋🌷
