Corvid One by jamibann

Corvid One

I had to take my car into Aberdeen yesterday to get some corrosion fixed. The good news is that it is covered on warranty. Afterwards, I went for a wee walk around the Duthie Park, a place I used to take the children when they were babies. A very calming oasis in the centre of town. I did some reflecting there and came away feeling much more positive.

This corvid may look innocent here, but he has been decimating the crocuses - eating the green shoots and tossing away the flower heads. Quite interesting to watch.

Thanks to everyone for their reassuring comments yesterday. Most appreciated. We learned last night that our son is coming home from London for the foreseeable future ... his Company have given him the green light, as he has to work from home and there are four of them sharing a small house in London. Not a great working environment. Life will be easier for him in the country - at least he'll be able to get out for a walk here.
Our grandchildren in Portlethan love Duthie Park and the cafe in the Winter Gardens which is probably closed now

Oh how lovely to have him home with you, I am sure you feel he is much safer there. My boy is still on the island, but they have only had two cases and one recovered now. He is in a blissful bubble of sailing every day! Another week and a half to go, bless him.

This is a naughty Corvid! The park looks like it is full of Spring blooms. How lovely.

That is great news Issi and the spring blooms are a positive sign for the future, that everything will return to normal.
