It is usually both calming and ethereal to rise each morning to exotic birdsong far from the norm in Cambs ..... Until a koel made the copperpod tree just outside our bedroom its home last week. Not very calming to be woken up before my alarm by its strangely piercing calls!

Sunday did not go entirely to plan. The morning was lovely - two garden centres with Miss Hebe who was happy as Larry in the houseplants section with her birthday money. Got home and started not feeling too clever, managed one parsnip from the gorgeous roast the mister had made then spent the afternoon in the bathroom and the evening in bed.

Feels like i've not stopped all day and still have job to do. Need to get a few things sorted tomorrow , Mrs 73 is due back from her travels on Tuesday. Been throwing a few things out i'm eyeing the ironing board next hardly need it these days.

I wish I could throw out our ironing board.

What with all the shooting down of odd stuff in the sky, it can't be a good time for aliens to offer greetings to Earthlings.

I am awake or sort of

Must have been awake more than I thought as walked up and down the stairs with no issues.
Kettle has boiled
Tea is brewing.

I spent a couple of hours ironing last night, no chance of getting rid of ours.

Morning .
Yet another grey day !
Yesterday I saw Georgie staring at his foot bowl . I thought that his bowl was empty and he wanted me to top it up. As I bent down to pick the bowl up I noticed a small Vole by the base of the kitchen unit. I quickly grabbed it and took it up to the top of our garden to release it by the hedge . Whilst up there I checked the food bowl which was almost empty. I went back indoors to fill it up , a walk of 100 feet and came back . I was surprised to see that the Vole hadn't moved and was more visible than when I dropped it off. . I said to it . "Are you still Here ? " To which it scuttled off!
Last night Georgie was caught trying to drop a dead Vole into my shoes !

Slightly more UK orientated

Mine went years ago but I did keep the iron. If anything really needs done the kitchen table with a towel on top is good enough. The top is solid wood so will not come to any harm.

Pooh sticks!

They've changed over the years.

Light cloud and a fresh breeze translates as light rain and near gale in practice. Just as well I went out triking yesterday as the rest of the week does not look too good.
Meal Monday today for students at University of Glasgow. They were given time off to go home to get another bag of oatmeal to feed themselves for the next term. Some sources claim all Scottish universities got the same weekend off but from memory this is not the case and Edinburgh for example was the third Monday in February.
I went camping in the snow in Glen Fruin one MM weekend and then hiked to Helensburgh to get the bus back to Glasgow.

I think all these balloons are kids rubbing them on their jumpers and sticking them on the sky.. All these conspiracy theories are getting a bit out of hand!
