No post yesterday, two reasons :-
1/ A fairly standard day , with nothing exceptional happening. A day in Perth, shopping, followed by a visit to my wonderful chiropractic Carol to give my neck a little tweak. Well a mammoth tweak really, getting into the deep tissue which I am still feeling this morning. Followed by lunch out in a farm shop that produces most of their own menu, if not it is sourced locally, which is very tasty & very popular.
2/ Just settled down after tea & was going to write something on here when Alan phoned & said “fancy some fishing?” Well what was I to say, SWMBO said “go on off you go” so I did. Alan lost 4 & I caught 2 (Rainbow Trout), gave one to an old keeper friend of mine down the hill (in exchange, when he gets some, he gives me venison liver, which is delicious), he was delighted. The other one went into the freezer for Christmas smoking.
So I thought I would catch up this morning with this boring old life of mine, that is before I go off for an hour in the gym.
One thing I forgot to mention on Sunday, was watching the G.P. when I heard a noise in the kitchen, presumed it was a Blackbird coming in the open door for it’s sultanas. Went to investigate only to find a wren flying continuously into the glass window. Managed to catch it & as these are one of Jan’s favourite birds went into the garden to show her. She was, of course, delighted to see on close up, but it was very distressed & exhausted. So we lay it on a bush & it just stayed there, mouth wide open panting for breath. Me being me rushed indoors & got my camera for a quick snap, most probably the most out of focus shot you will ever see on here, but at least I got a shot. We left it on the hedge & went back 2 minutes later & it had flown off, so hopefully it made a full recovery & has learnt not to come into those big humans house again.
