I managed to see a Peregrine Falcon soaring yesterday evening . It was flying high and difficult to make out exactly what it was without downloading my pictures and zooming in on the image . This what I had to go on . The picture was taken with a 450 mm zoom lens . The bird flying near it is a Gull.

You guys are racking up the TMN's to ...er... @User13710

Just because you're a paranoid android, it doesn't mean they're not out to get you...

Isn't it strange how you can read something and get totally the wrong impression . I just read about a " bike carrier " thinking that it was like a roof rack for carrying bikes and not what it turned out to be , a carrier fitted to a bike for carrying things .

At 7.41 this morning, on the Today programme on Radio 4, someone made the Jeremy Hunt name mistake again.

I thought so!!!
Thanks for confirming :-)

I picked up a large leg of lamb on yellow sticker in Tesco this morning.

And I didn't have any weird dreams last night. Don't really remember dreaming at all.

I have just eaten two really fine tangerines. Still a bit peckish - do I go for the banana or the cherries?

The cherries I just had were a bit below par.

The cherries I just had were a bit below par.

I'd picked the first of mine from the garden. This warm weather's brought them on really rather nicely.

Didn't have either in the end. Will have after supper.

I have found a new website for on-line (and free) jigsaws. You can chose a topic for the jigsaw, and how many pieces you would like to have. There are lots of different shapes. Some of them require you to rotate the pieces, which makes it more complex. You can change the colour of the background, and if you get stuck there is a "ghost" option which puts up a image of the finished puzzle.

I have just completed this one.

You might need to maximise the picture (bottom right hand corner) and then press play (bottom centre).

You obviously need something to fill your days. How are you at plastering, painting or carpentry?

@Reynard is handy with a chainsaw.

 

[MikeG]

Yeah, but she lives in the Basque country, so isn't a lot of use to me.

I only do jigsaws in the evening.

My garden is fairly large with and making compost takes time as well.

I am fairly good at painting, and would like to learn carpentry, including a jig saw.

Does she?
