Four hours ago, a blackbird started singing on our chimney pot. There's no traffic noise here so she/he could easily be heard from the lane.
An hour later, the bird was still warbling loudly and the sounds came down the chimney (amplified) into the sitting room for us to enjoy.

The bird was not interested in engaging with my whistled replies from the fireplace.

Maybe it's seeking it's soulmate, the one that lodged down the back of your fire.

I have my works phone diverted to my mobile, but keep forgetting to disable it while off duty. I have just received a call about a couple of trucks stuck on Felixstowe Dock - who in their right mind works at this time on a Sunday night.

As I said "In their right mind"

I'm running out of turf so might have to go to bed. Getting cold.

Early thoughts of heading to Snetterton for a bit of motorsport & a bike ride during the lunch break were scuppered by finding out that the A14 was occupied by a dirty great big transformer being transported westbound (Linky - use an adblocker as it's an Archant web site). Instead I ended up popping into town for some rolls and then cutting the grass when I got home.

There was plenty of time for a quick local ride while listening to the Grand Prix in the afternoon, but it must have taken more out of me than I thought as there seems to be about half an hour missing from the late afternoon.

It's non-recycling bin day on Monday and mine is out, just don't tell the council that there's some grass cuttings hidden in there.

I grilled shish kebab for dinner. We alternate meat and vegetables here, so I was making alternating pieces of onion, pork, and pepper on the skewers as I made them. I had to go a party in honor of the church committees earlier, so I made something Near Eastern and fast. Always well received, good reviews from Mrs. GA. I didn't get to go on my planned bicycle ride today, due to the party, but one should do ones' duty first.

Spent some of the evening watching the 1989 Monaco F3 race on the Tube of You.

A bit snoresome alas, but all in the name of research.

Your cats or your bones?

My bones.

The cats are in fine voice.

Anyways, time to do an Upsy Daisy and go and find my bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Well Monday has slipped on to the horizon
Rained well during the night
Cloudy blue skies at the moment .

First cuppa gone
Cat's come for a cuddle early

@Jenkins I saw that dirty great big 184 ton transformer. It was very big and dirty!! Loads of plod bike outriders running interference, albeit very slowly.
Luckily, I was eastbound 😁

Up early. 10 miles down the canal to the Etihad for jab 2. Too early, they don't open until 8am.
