Falling Apart

Chasing a ladybird round the conservatory this afternoon was futile - speedy little things :) So, opted for a tulip which I'd destroyed in the process. 

Think my patience was wearing thin after struggling with the accounts and perhaps should have gone out for a walk instead to blow away the cobwebs. However upstairs the windows are all open with the wind blasting through as we must have a dead rodent in the loft and the smell is dire!

We've gained two wild ducks but only have a small pond. Tilly is doing her nut bouncing excitedly in front of the window every time she spies a little head over the grasses.  I think there's a good chance she'll end up in with them as she chases them away, hysterically  barking yapping.  Just as well really as we've goldfish which have survived the winter and I would like to see them survive the spring too! On the other hand - I'm rather partial to duck  ;)
