    I was frisked and had to take my shoes off (just after the shoe bomber alert) at Bristol airport en route from Edinburgh to the Eden project.  An earlier experience was when our cases were searched when coming home from our honeymoonimage.  Did we look guiltyimage?  Actually we were given seats in different rows when goingimage.

    Glad you had a good, but busy, time at Lizzie's Mattyimage?

    Sure the birds are feeding for more than two Winter. They are costing a small fortune as I'm sure the dawn chorus is 'come and eat at our place'image.

    I've got my hand up for ice cream and beer Pandaimage.

    I get frisked and swabbed for explosives at every airport. Apparently it is because I am the exact opposite of what they are looking for, so it makes the process"fair"image

    Not for me it isn'timage.

    My OH has pins in his ankle from a sledging accident. They had him in a room down to his skimpies in an airport in Germany.

    However, here I have my own personal springwatch.

    We started with the two mallards. OH wants to call them ayupmi duck and corlova duck.image

    That was followed with a pair of dunnocks. She was fluffed up and feather fluttering. He was pecking at the backside. Apparently this is to induce her to expel the previous lovers sperm so he has more chance of fathering babies. This went on for some time.

    Now there are two hedgehogs on the patio.  The larger one seems to have a dislike of the smaller one. Bit of argy bargy, and a small turf war going on over the food on the patio.

    We have voles that are copying the squirrels and climbing. There was one in the pergola amongst the wisteria at head height. OH was talking to it. Its a good job the neighbours can't see.image

    Oh well, it will soon be time for bed. More digging tomorrow.

    Girls had a whale of a time image No beer for the girls, but I'm sure P'doc and Lesley can drink theirs image 

    We had problems bringing Guides back from Switzerland - we were told we couldn't take hand luggage back image Luckily one of the girls had a large bag so we were able to check in all the sleeping bags we had planned to carry as our hand luggage image (and you think I'm nuts going to Dublin image)

    I usually get myself swabbed as well. Even though I have nothing to do with drugs, I do find myself panicing that they will find something image

    Fidget, no wonder you want to marry himimage.  If anyone could give ducks names like that and talk to voles they're keepersimage.

    Yes, I think you're nuts going to Dublin with hordes of Guides Panda, (oh but thanks for the beerimage. (oops and ice cream)image.
