Big Garden Birdwatch Weekend...

... So, despite there being other images available... Here is one of the Lovely Robins, singing it’s heart out, in the rain, with the wind right up it’s ruff (is that a real anatomical part of a robin? It should be).

Himself though, is right off his perch.
Hoping he’ll be feeling better tomorrow.
Our plans for the weekend have gone proper awry.
What he wants is to sit under a blanket with a comic and some of that fizzy yellow glucose drink.
Or maybe that’s my own idea of recuperation?
(Those were the days!).

I think all he really really wants is to sit in front of the TV and catch up with some of the (many, many, many hours of) rugby he has recorded.

I, meanwhile, decided to use the ‘won’ time to plan some improvements on the Home Front.
‘Should I be afraid?’, he asked (weakly).
‘Nooo’, I replied (not altogether truthfully).

We’ll see ;-)
