The cock of the walk

Birds are definitely on the wing preparing for nesting. Hope they aren't in for a shock after this mild spell. Today I've seen wrens, robins, starlings, sparrows, great tits, blue tits, thrushes and blackbirds in the garden and a heron on the river. This haughty blackbird drawing attention to himself caught my eye.

An inconvenient morning when the washing machine decided to stop working mid cycle. How lucky I was to find someone able to come out almost immediately and fit a new motor there and then. He was a dog whisperer too and had Otter and Flora nice and calm (for a limited length of time).

Off to collect the three year old soon for a sleepover and general fun and games.

This is entry 1,500. Thanks to you all for the company.
