My favourite hobby is to say hello to dogs but ignore their humans. Once thought I saw Bobby Davro, but it was another man. Animals, trains, racing cars, books and sugar are all things that can be separated with a comma to make a list.

I can now add getting locked on a pier to my lifetime mishap list. Still photos do the murmuration no justice at all.

If you are wearing a Santa hat, but also shorts then you are wrong.*
*Cold countries only. Ok in places like Australia. **
** Although maybe it’s too hot for a hat in hotter places, so you might still be wrong.

Moving house has been totally unimaginably awful. However, HOWEVER - tonight I opened the bedroom window to listen to Tawny Owls (well, owl) and it’s suddenly all worth it. I hope you also like the view of my gutter and patio.

I still watch Keeping Up Appearances so regularly. I always think it’s a bit weird to “mourn” the death of someone you have never met, yet here I am! RIP Dame Patricia. Who will be the lady of the house now???

This week I finally got my new garden (plus other stuff that comes with it - house etc etc). Things I’ve seen in it so far: Wood Peckers, Jays, Coal Tits, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Wrens and Badgers. All of this to a strange ghostly voice telling me to come inside as wallpaper needs stripping.

I’ve got a signing male Black Redstart outside of my office window. I’m feeling quite smug about it to be honest.
