COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Ironically it’s got to the point where they’re in decline over here. The places they’re thriving, like the USA and New Zealand, rightly regard them as pests because their flocks have become so huge.

Blame the Europeans... probably Brits... for introducing them.

ActuaIly think it may have been a German who decided to introduce every bird mentioned by Shakespeare to the USA. They didn’t do environmental impact assessments in those days

Well I actually enjoyed them all today. It was a starling that nagged me into filling the feeder. He was peeking in the window and pecking sooo... I got off my bum and braved the cold. I was going to anyway but he was in a hurry ?.

The look there is daring you to complain about his choice of bed! ?

Yep he wouldn't do his pretty face. You aughta see his really ugly condescending face. It's hilarious.?

Looks so good... and a good idea. I used to have a recipe for a pizza dough made with eggs and flour and stuff but no yeast. It's here. I just have to find the little book.

You really are getting better and better with your photos.

Thanks. Well the thing is all these have been through glass. I really wish I could get some while I'm outside. Also the lighting has to be just right so it's catch as catch can. Then I get so excited that my hand shakes. Good photos are a streak of luck even for the best which I'm not. That's not going to stop me though.?

Happy birthday to our Boxing Day baby Noël.

Good morning and Happy Boxing Day to you all.
I hope your Xmas Day was happy and that Santa brought you a few nice things.
We are bracing ourselves for the not so welcome guest - Storm Bella - tonight, but hopefully we should have some drier and calmer weather for the next week - the ground needs a chance to dry out!
Have a good day and I may see you later.
TTFN

Evening all!
It's very lively here at the moment.
I just thought the roof was going to come off the house with the last big gust of wind....quite scary!
I certainly won't be going to bed until its calmed down.

It’s just started getting lively here. Being thw opposite side of the country, it wasn’t certain that it would reach us, but it’s definitely getting pretty windy now

Food luck!

@AZtortMom Happy birthday Noel hope you are doing something yo celebrate on your special day.

We're up to about 57 mph gusts now.
I think most of England and Wales have a yellow/amber warning.
Supposed to be easing after about 2 a.m. I think.

With storms like this that often we miss out or are on the extreme edge. With wimds prevailing from the south west we just don’t get hit. A strong northerly is another matter; Norfolk offers no protection

That was what was so unusual about 1987... a direct hit and the rest of the country wasn’t affected

oh??? Then I would have had HER do all the cooking!???

She does 90% of the cooking. It is her kitchen and don't mess with it. She won't even let me bring my dirty dishes to the sink. That's hard for me to do, because I was raised to do that.
