It's a sparrow......

....not a partridge.  

And it's not a pear tree either.

Bitsy day where I did one or two chores (including the lawns), played some backgammon against J (who dropped round with a delicious feed of boysenberries from her garden....yum!), did some washing and ducked in to town to order the new cooker.  I've umm'd and ahh'd about it for a long time and the time now feels right.  Could be something to do with the generous sale price that's on it I guess........!

Tomorrow will be a day of household cleaning and sprucing with a bit of gardening if the weather stays fine.  I wonder if it's all part of the 12 days of Christmas.......?  Not that I'm counting, and not that I'm all that engaged in it.  Even less so this year.
