Nigel tells me that when he was taking Adam to school at 7.15 ish there was a fantastic red sunrise - clearly I need to get up and out earlier. Mind you when we went out at lunchtime the sky was pink - dawn and dusk apparently segueing seamlessly into each other. I took my zoom lens in the vain hope of seeing the flitting kingfisher posing nicely in a tree. After missing a pheasant, a jay and some little grebe I felt I was due a bird shot of some sort and was a little grumpy when even this gull kept turning away from me. Suddenly he turned to look at me and started doing his ballet exercises. Apologies for the poo!
Three good things:
1. I was so covered in germs by my little reader that it no longer seemed worth staying away from my friend's 'sick house' so I dropped in with her birthday present.
2. Finally got round to taking the cat for her booster jabs.
3. Finally got a table reserved for a night out on Friday - I called a few people and whenever they said 'And how many guests?' I wanted to reply, 'Five peri-menopausal women so stop messing us about' but decided that we may never get a table.
Love it when they do this, our chicken have the same ballet move but much less elegant. Mae was sick yesterday and the boiler man looked extremely uncomfortable to be in the same room as her. I could see him hold his breath! Germs? Who cares?
I was thinking Passo Doble? Must have been watching too much strictly... peri-menopausal - a fancy name for being grumpy? How old do you have to be to use it as an excuse??
@lucypics well I could do to shed a few pounds before Christmas. I have smothered myself in cough, cold and D&V viruses today - could be complete obliteration...
That gull was holding a wonderfully photo worthy pose! I think you'd be offered the best table in house by declaring you were making reservations for a group of peri-menopausal women...they tend to run a good bar tab. :)
Classy - warming up to a full pirouette by the look of it. If you do get a cold I was always told that strong drink was the perfect cure, so you get another excuse on top of peri-menopausalness!

Chuckle, I don't blame you. My birthday is a week before Christmas and we've stopped going out for a meal (Neil cooks me one at home instead!) as we invariable find ourselves next to a table of 8-10 cackling women.
I was looking for the poo (presumed you'd caught an action shot by mistake) and it actually took me a while to notice he's arabesqueing atop a big pile of it. Nice!
We are germ-central over here, just skipping from one form of disease to another - the nursery is like a little incubator of gross. The snot L is generating at the moment is literally amazing. It must weigh more than her!
V behind with this whole 365 lark so have missed lots of your news but hoping to have a chance for a good snoop come the weekend, if not before.
