Good morning. Breakfast is calling.

Do these cards belong to the game you've made those models for?

Yes, they are. The idea was that I can keep being a nerd when Elder Son is absent, but we're going to try and see is we can play a game online tonight, with me holding a camera and him directing events remotely.

Kettle is boiling
Dark and breezy outside
I wonder what today will bring

Good thought. She's never really celebrated Nollaig na Mban, but there's always a first time. I do most of the chores/cooking as she's doing silly hours at work in the hospital atm so that makes little difference.

My guess is it will be quiet as we've a busy weekend; we're off to see The Lion King in Manchester on Sunday afternoon with lunch out.

What about in the @classic33 household? And @tyred ?

No plans made.

There were some bits of maths which I found to be interesting. It was when I used to do modelling , railway or military. I often wondered what one of my 1/72 scale aeroplanes would look like at 1 mile in that scale . Or could I make 1 mile of track for a railway on a layout . When I worked it out it was a bit of a surprise !

Clouds are whizzing by
A very pale grey start to the day here.
Garden birds have been fed at least I can see well enough today to see what type will arrive first for the mealworms

Another dreich day so shopping for non perishable goods today I think.
Spent a lot of time yesterday watching a variety of birds flying past. More interesting than you may think.
Most cormorants skim just above water level in flight but a few travel at the tree height along the shoreline. I am at 22 metres above sea level so look down towards them.
Seagulls and crows fly at a higher tree level on the same level as me and always on a definite mission. A couple of crows stopped for a confab and one then carried on up the loch and the other took off across the loch at speed.
Hawks of various kinds are generally a bit higher but flying diagonally across the loch.
Some larger birds probably swans are mainly on the water but do fly sometimes across the loch. Too far away to be certain of the kind of swan and there are also some geese.
There must be an underwater feature of some kind opposite the house as there are often quite a few diving birds fishing there.
Mostly cormorants but not all are.
Nerd.
