Female Blackbird

The weather is vile this morning - so grey and wet. One of those days when you have to say that a blackbird is good enough for blip because looking for anything else isn't a pleasure. So here's a female blackbird on the garden wall. 

I've spent the morning in the kitchen after my usual Tuesday chat with my pals. I'm off to Dunblane soon for lunch then a walk with my friend R and our dogs. It will be muddy but never mind. Cameraman is in charge of Tuesday childminding which gives me the chance to join the Tuesday yoga class later. 

Yesterday's yoga was a mixed experience. There were things I just couldn't do and I felt a bit miserable about that. However this morning I've had three bits of sad news about people I know/know of which puts my creakiness into perspective.
