And it's cold

It is! We’ve just had a lovely spell of weather for a couple of weeks, even up to 21°for a day or two, but it’s back to its default setting now. Just in time for the bank holiday weekend of course.

The wind here earlier was positively Arctic! It's warmed up now, as the sun is out.

Same here today Kaz, sunny and cold.

Dewberry perfume from the Body Shop my favourite in the early 90s. I’ve still got a bottle which my Nan bought me one Christmas.

It was discontinued some years ago but the other day I saw a Facebook ad for one of those perfume copying companies advertising their copy of Dewberry. I ordered a sample size, it’s just arrived and I’ve just been transported back to 1992

Another one tonight!

It's mating season and the pigeons are currently hard at it. I don't mind watch all the cooing, bowing and scraping, but when the fights start up, it's like chucking out time in an episode of "Peaky Blinders".
And the trouble is, when they all take flight, they have absolutely no idea what they're doing or where they're going ....

That's four now we've had crash into our windows in the last month!
The second one hit a bedroom window and fell with a resounding BONGGGGG onto an empty wheelie bin. Mrs O, who was in that room at the time, jumped a mile.
Last night's one hit the patio doors apparently bum first, and I had to slosh it all off with a bucket of water. Feathers everywhere.
Tonight's was just a little Bong, but when we looked out of the window, one pigeon was wandering drunkenly around the patio steps, metaphorically clutching its head, whilst another one looked on gormlessly.

Blinkin' lunatics, the lot of them ....

The ravens and magpies keep the pigeons at bay round these parts, much to the delight of the blackbirds, thrushes and us humans.
