Nope. But there were lots of birds. The cooing I think were from pigeons. There were a couple of really small birds. Don't know what they were. Some starlings. And a few others too.

I thought they sounded like pigeons - but with a different accent to ours.
Whahaha. Yip ours come with a South African accent of course.[emoji6]I thought they sounded like pigeons - but with a different accent to ours.

Hi Heather and thank you, I'm ready to start to get my life back!!
Good morning everyone! Hope ya’ll are set for a lovely Saturday! I think I must enjoy it here because we have a cold front moving in tomorrow... I’m so over the cold weather already!!! Bring on the heat Texas!!
We have an old saying here - 'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out'
It basically means not to put your winter clothes away until the month of May is over or until the blossom (May) on the Hawthorn tree is in bloom.
Some definitions of it say that a clout was like a vest that would be left on all winter.
So keep your vest on!!!

Lol. I don't hear it when I talk. So not sure I have one. [emoji23] I will record myself talking sometime and then post it. Actually why don't each of us make a recording of ourselves telling a post instead of writing it down. Then we can all hear what each other sound like.[emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Very interesting.
Perhaps they are Mourning Doves? Or, a dove-like cousin vice pigeons..
Nice!
An older couple that I used to know when I was in the turtle club called and asked if I wanted some potted plants because they were getting to old to be able to care for the plants anymore. I said yes, of course. One of the pots only had a couple of sticks sticking up, and a lot of oxalis covering the dirt. The sticks have started to sprout now, and it looks like it might be a fig tree with two trunks. Now I have to decide where in the yards I'd like another fig tree!
That's very pretty. I love just sitting and watching an aquarium.
Is Lola nearby? Male tortoises sometimes make strange sounds when. . . uh. . . er. . . "taking care of business with another tortoise" (if you know what I mean!).There is something quite strange going on in my living room.
It's all quiet in here - no tv or radio on - but every now and again I hear what sounds like a donkey braying!!!
Only a small donkey, because it's not that loud and I certainly can't see a donkey!
It seems to be coming from different parts of the room so whatever it is must be moving around....very strange.
I am wondering if it could possibly be a frog that has come in while the doors were open today but I don't think I've ever heard a frog make a noise like that.
I am going to get my fishing/butterfly net and have a look for my visitor!!!
I'll be back..............................................or will I?
This is TOO funny!!Well I've just found my intruder!!
It's my mobile phone!!
No wonder the sound was moving around it was in my pocket!!
I've only had this phone for a couple for months - it's a cheap spare I bought when the touch screen on my other went berserk.
I haven't heard it before but it has a weird battery low signal that does sound exactly like a donkey with a sore throat!
So mystery solved! I can rest easy in my bed tonight!
When I was first promoted to Engineer at my company they gave me a pager. I had no experience with pagers.
In the old days, when I used to drive a lot, I would place my purse just on the floor by my feet. So I'm driving along and all of a sudden there's this intermittent buzzing coming from my car. "Well, Sh**t!" I can't afford car trouble." I pulled over and lifted the hood (bonnet) but, not being a mechanic, couldn't see anything that was making this sound. Well, yes, you've guessed it. It was the pager in my purse.
Braggert!
Ah. . . it's good to be home!
Sounds like you're on the mend. Try to not overdo. Give yourself a good chance to heal.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!!
Lola was actually my first thought but it was late and he was well tucked away in his hide by then.
