My Dear Fellows & Dear Princess,

Recognise this plant? It is this plant several weeks later.

It's really quite jolly, sitting up there. I'm enjoying it. I'm not sure it is doing next door's guttering any good, but that's their problem.

I like that the wee sparrows are using it to alight upon. There are SO MANY SPARROWS. Whoops. I cannot help but think this is something to do with me and Caro looks at me accusingly when they swoop in. We must have had around 30 on our deck just now.

I don't care. They all love me and I love them. They are like my little fluffy feathery family.

The exciting thing about this weekend is that I have discovered my VPN in a big way. I've been playing with it for a few weeks in fact. This was after I was talking to OrkneyCaro in Nelson about some BBC show or other and she was all, "Oh yes, I've seen it already via my VPN," so I reckoned I needed to get in on this malarkey.

I had avoided it up until then. A VPN just seemed a bit TOO hacker-y, you know? I mean, isn't a VPN something a shady online nerd uses to surf the Dark Net and talk to Edward Snowden? All I want to do is watch Graham Norton and David Attenborough.

But the VPN is AWESOME. I've just realised I am not limited to using it to look at British telly. In fact, I can change it to look at telly all over the world! I was watching Aussie tv this morning! And it was total crap! And then I tried American tv! And it was even WORSE! And then I tried Irish TV and it was exactly the same as BRITISH tv, only introduced by Irish people!

SO exciting! I need to wee! Weeeeee!!!!

It is weird seeing British tv adverts on telly again. Honestly, it made me feel a little bit sad. Firstly because I miss you all, but secondly because I miss Mr. Kipling. 

So that has been my Saturday thus far. I watched some foreign telly and I fed my little birdy family. And Edward Snowden can talk to himself.
