    @Hostafan1, is this the answer to my question on the curmudgeon thread, l'm guessing it's too much of a coincidence! 
    If l've done this right, this is a copy of the photo on the GW Facebook page. I am not on Facebook,  l don't think there's any info on there though as to the variety.

    I spent a happy couple of hours yesterday afternoon enjoying the mayhem in my garden as all the bird families came out to play  :)

    Sparrows, robins and blackbirds flying everywhere at the speed of light with their parents shouting at the tops of their voices trying to keep track of them. Wonderful!

    I've had a very painful  ingrowing toe nail for several weeks which I hoped would magically fix itself.  It didn't (what a surprise) so went to a chiropodist today with a sense of trepidation, expecting to go through agony as they dug for victory.  In and out in about 5 minutes with no pain during the process and totally pain free after too.  Result. :D

    Went into town for a haircut and now look much more respectable. Also bought a new shopper after much searching which doesn't drag along the ground (I'm now under 5ft) - result!

    A big flock of house martins over the River Usk today all back from their holidays. :)
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Another good reason - At Weightwatchers tonight, I've lost 2 1/2 lbs this week!
