I've just had a hair cut

 

[Illaveago]

I saw a Swallow flying over the house last night . It's the first time I've seen one here this year . We have had Swift's flying around here for a few days now .
The other day we had a lone Raven flying around .not wasn't bunyip it got mobbed by some Crows that I could be certain that it was a Raven.

Nice, not seen any yet, the sound of summer .
Used to get tons of them when I was a kid, bit rarer these days

We saw them too, as children. But I lived in a stone house with a brick chimney then, and the swifts were in the chimney. Also had a nearby school with brick chimneys which also had a huge flock of swifts. Now I live in a newish house in a big subdivision, but I still have barn swallows, when they get here. Which they have not.

Happy V-E Day.

I've been in a few pubs like that, once went in one in a little Nottinghamshire village & the piano player actually did stop playing as we walked in

Turbo news: daughter has hangover, next 100 mile challenge delayed. My lockdown turbo tour has made slow progress while I did a bit of outside riding. I'm now simultaneously over John o'Groats, Odense, Nuremburg and Grenoble.

I dropped a raisin and it rolled down between the cushions on the sofa and I can't find it.

Raisins to be cheerful 1,2,3...

Just been puttering about variously this morning. It's too hot to do any major gardening type stuff, though I might take the clippers to the forsythia later as it really does need a bit of a haircut.

Circumstances have currently separated me from some of my art supplies and my regular sources, so am looking at doing some online shopping. Question is, do I want a tin of 36 Faber Castell Albrecht Durer pencils or a tin of 60.

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Beverages"

Tea, Russian style. And yes, the crockery is Russian as well...

It's not a third eye - it's the inspiration for the desk mounted pencil sharpeners we used to have at school

Oh man, yes...

I've done my fair share of pencil sharpening in infant school with one of those. I was the pencil monitor, so the sharpener was in my demesne.

I wanted to be milk monitor, but never was...

Lunch consumed. Home made bread just lush...

Now off to go give a shrub a haircut. Well, make a start on it at least...

Had a good morning at work, coming out of Maesteg, Police van with blue lights on, [flashing] was parked outside a corner shop, police officer was standing on guard in the doorway. As I headed back towards Bridgend 7 ambulances and similar number of Police cars all with blues & twos going headed in opposite direction.
What ever it is, it's neither nice nor good for some one.

Thanks !
It started off in a subtle way so I wasn't sure at first. Ooh! His eye is missing and then a bit more disappeared! Eventually things had a shimmering rainbow edge to them . It was then time to quit the party for a rest .

I've just had a thought, since I've been working from home more, (normally only 2 days a week) I've been drinking far more coffee, normally I will only drink 1-2 a day, that has a least doubled to 3-4 a day, not having any issues sleeping which was the initial reason I cut my intake, but I wonder if caffeine has been building up to cause the migraine?
