She's actually got a lovely voice, not very Dove like when she's singing ride Sally ride, but tuneful all the same! 🤣 My hubby is now a 54 year old house music DJ with a basement full of decks and disco lights and I can't see him ever changing and I certainly wouldn't want him to! Although if he learnt when the bins went out I'd be uber impressed! 😉
@Liriodendron my brain does the same thing but I could have never have described it as well as your grandson!! 👍
Gotta love predictive texy for a giggle!! 🤣shows how tired and why I am after work that I'm not reading back 🥶😊 predictive text turned shows to shoes but fool me twice? I don't think so! 🤣
Your mention of "Mustang Sally" put me mind of the film "The Commitments" @WonkyWomble, particularly the part where the backing singers are told not to sing in their Irish accents. "It's "Ride Sally, ride" not "Roide Sally, roide"". For me, @Dovefromabove will now always be Imelda Quirke. I love that film.
Is he looking for pal @Liriodendron, or does he already have one? They mate for life, which is lovely. Lovely photo - you should put that on the wildlife thread too.
The ones up at the duck pond I go past regularly haven't been back, just the dozen or so ducks. They must have found another pond. Plenty of water nearby, but mostly of the running variety. The nearest ponds are a good few miles away. Hope they're ok anyway.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
The top floor of the house has had a spring clean and the windows are all wide open to blow the final winter cobwebs away. I need to get some baby paraphernalia sold now and finally declutter the rest of the house.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Thanks @Fairygirl & @Obelixx. Just a lucky snap with my phone, since I couldn't actually see much of what I was taking - against the sun...
There's usually a pair, and they don't often come right close to the shore, so I wondered if his "raised wing" position was actually warning us off because they're nesting?
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Why is the sun always in the wrong place when you want to get a particular pic? It's lovely anyway - that slightly stark, dramatic look when it's almost monochrome.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Cold but beautiful this morning. Met a friend when out for a walk...
