Blimey! Thank you for the compliment @Muddy Cyclist
Blimey! Thank you for the compliment @Muddy CyclistIn the style of the Old Masters, I can see this as an Oil on canvas gracing the wall of some city gallery.
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - I do like listening to Peggy Seeger@dunelm amother great bird even if quickly done, small and without your art muse.
Complex world, all gone mad.
Good Peggy Seeger link. Missed Jooles last night.
A froggy went a wooing - excellent colours, full of life and energy. Brilliant work. Keys seem to stay hidden until you stop searching for them - and there they are.Fbg 6.5
Another beautiful morning. Frosty. Clear blue skies.
The pair of robins have been viewing me and cat through the window. Definitely safe they thought, until the female blackbird who has marked my back garden as HER territory since early January, did a fly past scattering both robins. But as soon as she began digging worms, the robins came back...
Yesterday was small birds of every variety, finches, sparrows, dunnocks, bluetits, greattits, coaltits, and the rest of that family. The magpies watch from the cherry trees, and mither the collared doves perching there. Seagulls are swirling overhead.
We do have sparrow hawks, kestrels, and also buzzards literally floating in the thermals of the steelworks when conditions are right.
That female blackbird is busy, flying from tree to tree - willow, ash, hawthorn, lilac, the buddleia has been cut down, but I left one very tall branch for a bird look out point in the corner of the garden...
Frogspawn is usually on Easter Sunday in my garden, never before that date, and their breeding pond has mountains of the stuff coming up out of the pond quite high. I usually buy oxygenating pondweed and a fresh supply of pond snails around now, but obviously with lockdown that is not possible.
In the meantime here is a grown up frog from my garden...digitally painted in Procreate.

Still cannot find that bunch of car and house keys...
That sounds like a perfect plan for today and exactly what I will be doing.No plans for anything other than to drift along and see where time takes me.
That is so annoying. They have got to be somewhere. I bet Popeye has hidden them somewhere.Still cannot find that bunch of car and house keys...
Brilliant @dunelmOur beach, yesterday - I know it’s not the same as being there but I will walk it for you today

I have run out of interrogation techniques with him...That is so annoying. They have got to be somewhere. I bet Popeye has hidden them somewhere.
That is if we are ever allowed to visit anyone....We might face a similar difficulty in visiting our son in Wales too.
Good morning everyone from another wonderful beginning to the day in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of a hot chicken salad came in at 4.6 this am
We had an excellent walk down our beach yesterday - quite early - before there were too many people about. The tide was way out so more of the storm exposed petrified forest, that usually lays under layers of sand, was exposed. Lots of tree stumps, clusters of roots, some quite big. And the remains of a wooden boat.
Nearly at the end of my current book - just the appendices to work through and then choose what to read next. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M Pirsig (again) [I have a 1980 edition - kindly given to me by a friend. The pages are nicely seasoned and have that wonderful book smell]. Other options are The Art of Happiness by The Dalai Lama, Heroes by Stephen Fry or Troy by the same author - or something else? I still have my copy of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) kicking about - it’s version III-R - 1987 so not up to date - could consult it and claim some interesting agnosia - that would keep Mrs Miggins off my back but she would probably say that she already knew about it.
Anyhow, a couple rows of rocky tops for today and a bonus photo of a tree stump. Have a wonderful day if you can, as always, koffy calls.

This is good had a carb heavy lunch yesterday. Today will be trying to resist the hot cross buns. They smell so good But 41g carbs.
Plan to try and get a short video of Errant today. Will he cooperate?
@gennepher love the frog.
@dunelmjealous, MrSlim and I attempted a walk yesterday, along with all the rest of Birmingham. We gave up trying to park and abandoned the idea. Will try again on Monday, perhaps will be fewer people out and about then.
Ah Mountains and what a great range that is, sadly I'm missing mountains as well as the sea, so nice to see some more from yourself, I like that blue wash in the foreground and fading distant mountains.Good morning everyone from another wonderful beginning to the day in the dark and dangerous north

I once worked beside a lady who was very successful. Many years later, I happened upon her, passing her on the street. She was homeless and in need of immediate help. She burst into tears and I just held her in my arms and the whole story flooded out. Long story short, we got her the help she needed, back on her feet and she's now working with a small advertising agency in the 3rd sector and has a lovely wee flat not so far from us...It's very scary how quickly some people's circumstances can change from a life of success to complete devastation. Volunteering for the Samaritans and Shelter for many years opened my eyes to the unfairness and inadequacy of society and for some life. A good deed from you today meant so much for that poor soul, well done.
So many times this happens, it's very sad. Sounds like you are a caring soul with a good heart.I once worked beside a lady who was very successful.

So I hear you. And you're so right. It can happen at breakneck speed.
Great work volunteering there. Hats off to you.
