Signs and Portents

I knew it!

I didn't get the ball out in the Botanic Gardens today, anyway (and he's hardly playing five-a-side with it) but I noticed this nestling discreetly in a bush.

Alexander must be well socialised (or instutionalised), as when I let him loose, he wandered off and joined a school trip. They thought it was hilarious.

I've hardly done anything over the weekend, but still I could sleep for days. Can't even blame the cockerel - I haven't heard it since the middle of last week. I think it must have gone. Possibly staying up late two nights reading my book is to blame. It was very good!
