I am sort of lucky. The eldest eats me out of house and home and the youngest is a vegetarian and eats like a bird. So they sort of balance each other out. Well almost. If both of them eat like my eldest I would have to declare bankruptcy.

Let me guess, the eldest is a boy in his late teens, going through a growth spurt? [emoji85]
The youngest - oh dear, you must be buying a lot of bird seeds... Wibble.

I just printed my Exhibitor’s badge. I modified it with my avatar as most people don’t know my real name on the other forum, but they know my avatar

Look who popped in for a visit.
Luckily my cat wasn't in the room. View attachment 227770

Oooooohhhhh
Tiny gecko.

Looks like he's lost the tip of his tail.

SNAP! I was going to say somebody has already helped him/herself to a bit of its tail. Cute!

Meerkats eat gecko tails.

This trip DOES sound great, always great to get out and explore this time of year especially if Mother Nature cooperates. Good luck with the birding....and are we SURE it’s a flask of soup? . Enjoy

Don’t forget to write PEACE today!

PEACE is one of the most precious things we have.

Good afternoon, Sabine!

Good afternoon Adam.
My cold is gone and my nose is dry again without any strange tools ! LOL

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I am glad your cold is banished.

Lesson now, speak in while!

Yes, looking forward for speaking later my friend.

Good afternoon, Adam! I know, there’s a global meerkat conspiracy. They’re behind every mischief in the world.
Hope you have enough potatoes for the day

Hi, Sabine! Glad to hear you’re better. I got a cold now. And it feels more and more like the dreaded man flu of the CDR

Yup, enough for the week.
But only because we're going away tomorrow.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It was Sabine!
It's a computer virus!
Not man flu.
It's mainly me that gets that.

 

[Kristoff]

Yup, enough for the week.
But only because we're going away tomorrow.

Oh, where are you headed this time?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Oh, where are you headed this time?

Spain again, i expect.
Time to stock up after our Christmas shenanigans.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Lesson again!
Last one before hols.
Speak later, Roomies.

Good afternoon all. It was beautifully sunny out at Dungeness and the wind was raw. If you could find a sheltered spot it was lovely!

Dungeness is basically a big shingle promontory out into the English Channel (or La Manche as the French call it). It’s very flat and very exposed, but great for bird watching. (Old photo - it was sunnier today)


I was actually born down there - my Dad was a commissioning engineer at the nuclear power station. We moved away when I was 4 though.

Anyway, we’re somewhat windblown, but the many layers of clothing and hot soup did their respective jobs.

There were lots of birds about, probably sheltering from the gales out at sea. Hundreds of cormorants and coots. Loads of pochard, shelduck, shovellers and tufted duck. And a few specials... Marsh Harrier, Hen Harrier, Smew, Black Throated Diver, Great White Egret. And a Kingfisher, so pretty in the sunshine.
