Good morning girls, Well, weāve have had so much rain, I donāt mind really as the RoadfordĀ Reservoir got very low, but all the same, it could stop just for a little while, at least until Iāve fed the birds.š Rugby on here, commentary courtesy of OH! Ā Ā

Doesn't matter anyway when you're retired.Ā When I worked I had to garden on free weekends, whatever the weather.Ā Now I can choose my moment.
It's lovely out there today but I have reached the still blocked head with newly tight chest phase so coughing as well as spluttering.Ā At this rate of progress I should be fine by tomorrow and will have a go at planting bulbs this pm and taking some rose cuttings.
OH is watching the rugby.Ā There was a really interesting programme about the weasel family last night with 3 lady PdDs doing research on intelligence in honey badgers, olfactory powers in wolverines and flexible physionomy in ferrets, all alive alive-oh.Ā The only male PhD was doing lab experiments with skulls and jaws in clamps and muscle tissu in petrie dishes.Ā Odd.
Cat looks comfy @Liriodendron tho perhaps not completely relaxed.Ā Ā We woke up to bits of dead mouse in one corner and a live one in the other.Ā Managed to rescue that one and release it without help from cats or Rasta.
I missed that prog @Obelixx, but I saw the end of it. Will get it on the catch up thingy. The head blocked bit is the worst. Hope you get a bit of progress with it today. I always liked those inhaler doodahs, but it looked dubious if anyone saw you using itĀ Hi Lyn- have your birds not got waders like the ones here?Ā
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I think Iāll have to put a few pairs out for them, I will be putting mine on to brave the elements and feed the birds. Thereās Ā a stray cat living in the garden, just a young one, still has blue eyes, heās living at the end of the garden so hopefully heās sheltering under the lorry, Ā Iāve been feeding him and hopefully he will gain trust and come in, it takes a long time with cats though, I thought he may have come closer yesterday but no. š¢

Rather unkind of him not to do it for you @Obelixx, seeing as you have the lurgy. Men eh?Ā It's already warmer here than it was yesterday, so I'm going to put some layers on and get a walk and then see what takes my fancy in outdoor jobs afterwards.Ā Stay dry/warm folksĀ

There was Cosmos pussy sunning himself on the living room windowsill when a dippy warbler landed on the stone work just near his head.Ā Amazingly, Cosmos reacted instantly and caught it!Ā Don't know who was more surprised - me, him or the bird but I was able to release it and it's flown off with ruffled feathers.Ā Ā
Exactly @Dovefromabove .Ā I've been hearing them around for ages but they've only recently been visible.Ā I hope it tells its pals to be careful.Ā Our bird feeders are well away from pussy hiding places but this one was just asking for it.
