Was hoping for a couple more nice Sunny days to get the strimming up to date..............but no............lots of rain is on it's way............on the up side I did manage to clear all the gutters & installed another water barrel.

For some reason I couldn't get to sleep until about 4am this morning. I was woken up by a female blackbird jumping up and down on the fence outside my window and making a noise that was definitely untuneful. I didn't really think much about it being still half asleep. Went downstairs, let the dogs out and put the kettle on. Prince starts barking for England. I don't let my dogs do that as I don't think it's fair on the neighbours (shame they don't feel the same way). So I went outside and found a fledgling blackbird cowering in a corner with Prince barking at it. He wasn't doing it any harm and had only been out for less than a minute. I picked the baby up and put it on a dustbin lid. The mum still kept up her racket and Prince turned his attention to the garden. There was another baby bird. I picked this one up but it had been beheaded, probably by next doors cat. The horrible thing about it was that it was still moving and it's heart was still beating. I put it next to it's sibling. I felt the mum needed to know what had happened to her baby. She and the first fledgling disappeared soon after.

I always liked that cat. I know it's just natures way, but I couldn't help but feel for the mother bird.

Dear x - could I point out that when you have been asked to do a straightforward task for someone and you haven't, that saying 'oh - well I've messed up a bit here and been a bit useless' is nether a substitute for an apology, or for, in fact, being a bit useless.

People who try to bully you into a corner and you know if you try to hold firm you could be a whole lot worse off.
Sometimes I really,really can't stand people.
Well..some anyway

People coming to eat in my home and having to be on a super strict diet that they can't change or relax for just one meal!

So they then proceed to ruin the whole dinner by being picky over everything, looking at my cooking as if it is evil, and then creating a negative atmosphere that doesn't need to be there if they just lightened up when eating at someone else's house. GRRR

WOW! Craftymarie....how rude! Food police drive me nuts!

If someone phones you saying they're from BT,it's a scam. They used to phone saying they were Microsoft,now they're saying they're BT. The number that rang me started 01296. I googled the number & there's 88 comments about the scam.
