Friday, early afternoon I reckon :-)

I'll put the kettle on...

I listened to an extremely interesting podcast about quinoa this evening.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Strangely, yes

Ah, now my book shows both but the grey has a black throat unlike this one, which is why I went with yellow wagtail.
But I trust your judgement, anyway it is a first sighting whatever it is.

Hop's right, it's a grey wagtail. The name confusingly appears to describe the colour of the head not the rest of the body, because the grey and the yellow are both yellow below the head. They're very rarely far from water. Is there a stream nearby or is that just a generalised feature of the entire Manchester population?

As you said ... it's Manchester ... of course there is water nearby.... usually moving from high in the sky down to the ground

It's an arid desert up here, it must be lost

Off for a sports massage with student physioterrorists shortly.

Would Wagtails be in Africa or India this time of year? It sure does look like one, though.

Yellow wagtails would.

Nearly home.

Preparing to wrestle Henry into his basket using the towel method as suggested by @User13710 .

Wish me luck.

Check out Attic24. She does some beautiful stuff and her patterns are really easy to follow.

Mine is all trebles, singles and treble treble as I call it and very multicoloured.I love crochet.

I have just spent a very pleasant lunch hour perusing this site and I have changed FT's blanket to her cosy blanket pattern. I wont follow the stripes as FT likes it when the colour changes randomly, but it is much nicer to crochet than the other pattern I was doing.

Thank you

My bird feeders are currently being mobbed by about a dozen long-tailed tits. Such cute little things.

It's been trying to snow here.

Cheese and beetroot chutney sandwich here, mug of tea and a clementine.
