Afternoon everyone,
Cold here but no snow thankfully, just grey and dull so we didn't get to see any astronomics unfortunately. I was rather disappointed with BBC's prog last night re stargazing, I thought there might have been more instruction at what to look at in the night sky and where...on a personal level I wasn't too interested in Hawaii goings on even though I know it's an important site for astronomy. Anyway, will see what tonights programme is like before I diss it before it gets to the end.
Sorry to hear you aren't too well Uncy and especially that you have a funeral to go to, never a nice prospect but even worse when you don't feel up to par. Sorry to hear of your neighbour's passing too Kate...these things never respect festivities or new year as life and the opposite go on irrespective as it has to be.
@ Eric, nice to hear about the birds, we don't see too many in our garden now due to the proliferation of cats (I love cats so understand the nature of things) but just wish they wouldn't chase the birds in my garden
Did you read of all those blackbirds in the US just dropping from the skies like they did? Tis said it could have been fireworks but they aren't sure....
poor things, don't think I've heard of anything like that happening before. I always feel for the poor birds (and other animals too) at new year in London et al when the fireworks are let off....can imagine the poor things jumping out of their feathers with all the noise...
Oh yes and own up...who felt the earth move last night?
No...silly, I meant the earth tremor oop north...hope it wasn't too frightening if you did...not something I would like to experience but then I'm a born-again-coward for most things
Well I'm orff to do some crafting before I have to start doing summat like a spring clean (well that's if I can find the hoover - what does it look like?).
Keep warm and keep smiling,
Chrissie
