A baby woodpecker has just smacked into a front window. I looked to see and found him the right way up, stunned, panting through his wide open beak and with his wings outstretched. I quickly went out to recover it before the dogs did as they were in the garden, when suddenly he did a Lazarus and flew off, over the bungalow roof and away.
If he'd waited I would have given him some Panadol.

My father's day coincided with mum's birthday so I had both she (who has been isolated since March) and dottir over this afternoon. The warm weather wasn't conducive to a beef roast dinner, but that's what they wanted..

That takes me back a bit..
Nobody loves me, everybody 'ates me, let's go an eat some worms.

Good evening from Penrith.
The evening views up the quiet motorway makes up for the crap days round London.
Still have 5hrs driving to go in the morning.
The views get better through the day tomorrow

Morning all, superb day, shame I am stuck in my office until half three
It is a beautiful mornin' 'ere, too, but it is tinged with a bit of sadness as I got up to find that my entire strawberry crop had been decimated by a blackbird. He just couldn't wait for his designated supply of blackcurrants to ripen and I was so looking forward to enjoying the succulent flavour of my one and only strawberry. Even my canines wouldn't have been so heartless.
I've gone back to bed with my cuppa to try to get over the disappointment. I hope your day goes better than mine has - so far.
