rain on a tent.
particularly if one where you can open the inner doors to a porch or two.
have sat out a few storms doing that with a good book.

Lemon Curd is pretty hard to get here, not to mention pricey compared to the UK. It's as much the fact they went and found a shop selling it that makes it special.

While walking around the new cemetery this aft' I heard the chirping of a young bird that seemed to have become separated from its er, fellow birds. I wanted to get a close up pic' in case I had to send it to some bird rescue place if it wasn't re-united with the other birds. As I approached it flew away and then two others of its kind flew towards it. They all flew off happily re-united, but one of them flew back towards me, landed on a wooden post about 10 foot away and looked and me and chirped. It was as if it was saying "Thanks for your concern", then if flew off to be with the others. I got the below pic' using my phone zoom in. it's not great, but the bird looked like a bird of prey type.🤔

I thought it might've been but wasn't sure. I haven't seen them around here for quite a while.🤔

Same here, but numbers seem to be recovering. I was informed by a farmer of all people that a lot of loss was down to rat poison as they are feeding on the dying rats. Affecting overall condition and reproduction.

One advantage of taking over a bike workshop in a state of chaos is that I appreciate every little thing when it works, like being able to quickly grab a pump that I know will work and sort out a customer's bike tire, or changing from a 14mm to a 15mm spanner without searching for ten minutes first.

i think accy needs a better camera - could be a fat budgie.

When on a bus seeing a parent talk to their child/be interested in/even delighted by their thoughts. Too many buried in their phones. I swear I was cycling through a park the other day and saw a sad dog looking up at its owner for some attention/a bit of innocent stick throwing. Owner buried in phone.

Finally managed to get myself into gear sufficiently to put my water bottle in the staff fridge last night, so I have nice cool water at work this morning.
