Not A Bird Bath

When I went to bed last night I stuck the camera out the window in the faint hope of getting some of the northern lights. The hope was replaced with laughter  ..... those clouds started dropping moisture a couple of minutes later.

The roads were really quiet this morning. Obviously nobody goes to work (or out, or the shops)  when the teachers are on strike.
Still, it meant that the 11 0'clock coffee was actually partaken at 11 O'clock.

Having come across some forgotten 'crafty' stuff that has been languishing in the loft for goodness knows how long I stuck a couple of tiny birds on a couple of  the small 'ring' dishes (here and here). The hardest part was finding a drill bit thin enough to go into the rims without splitting them which the wire (the birds were glued onto) went into.
