Kiki is a cat. That's what cats do. It's a sad fact that birds have to take their chances and sometimes they lose out. There's nothing that any of us can do about that. You did your best for the poor little creature. Nobody can do more than that.06.07

Belated birthday wishes for @gennepher .Hope you enjoyed the day with your daughter.
Up early and out into garden before it gets hot, forecast max 29°c. Kiki has been exploring MrSlims latest project. She loves climbing and one unfortunate Bluetit met her up there. Although I retrieved it alive it was badly wounded and died. It's blood was literally on my hands and I feel awful about it.
MrSlim is not just reroofing he is making a cupula, finals, and fancy barge boards. Am expecting him to do an intricate pattern with the tiles. So some weeks work yet. This will be the poshest potting shed ever. MrSlim is already calling it the pavilion - despite our French teacher and friend informing him that pavilion has unfortunate racy connatations.

Thank you @Krystyna23040, MrSlim has offered to take the ladders down overnight to make it more difficult for Kiki to access the roof. Which makes me feel a bit better. Obviously birds don't go there when he is working.It was absolutely not your fault. There was no way you could have stopped it happening.
Do you know why your French teacher thinks that pavilion is racy? It comes from Latin, papilionem meaning tent or butterfly - odd! Still, it’s very posh. He could call it The Hermitage but then he would have to be in it alone06.07

But they would call it a Ting. It’s us daft Europeans that translated it into Pavilion - oh what a circus.She says it comes from chinese usage? Tradition? A pavilion was the place a husband retired to in the afternoons with his mistress. Or at least I think that's what she said. The explanation was in French, so I may have misunderstood. However she was very definite that pavilion is not a good name for a garden building.
Poets and writers have small garden rooms where they compose poetry or write, like Malcolm Guite who Ian often refers to.Do you know why your French teacher thinks that pavilion is racy?

Call me Dave has an aspirational shepherd's hut he uses to write his truth.Poets and writers have small garden rooms where they compose poetry or write, like Malcolm Guite who Ian often refers to.
Simon Armitage has a shed where he entertains his radio guests.
I would imagine even now in these days of climate change one would have to retreat to a warm fire in winter in the Northland's.

Mine is definately a shed - no Pavillion or Hermitage here old fruit. Pretty good modern insulation and two heaters but when the temperature goes into wode, it’s the dining room table for me.Poets and writers have small garden rooms where they compose poetry or write, like Malcolm Guite who Ian often refers to.

I would imagine even now in these days of climate change one would have to retreat to a warm fire in winter in the Northland's and just look at the shed from a warm room in the house.

An imposing structure. Look forward to your magic of colour @dunelmGood morning pop pickers from another episode of International Bin Day here in the dark and dangerous north. Spotted Mrs Miggins’ twin sister on the Peoples Procession down to St Giles‘ Cathedral on the goggle box yesterday. Those in charge of claymores and feather bonnets wanted one of the pair to represent the clan so in the great tradition of highland folk, an Ardblair Stone Challenge took place and Mrs Miggins’ sister was dubbed the chosen one. Todays task is sharpening garden tools which includes the blades on the lawn mower. What fun. Art bit, more details added. Have a wonderful day if you can, I shall finish my koffy.

Shame about the iPad, hope it is an easy fix when you have the time. Wonderful kaleidoscope thank you so much for sharing.Fbg 6.7
Still painting with daughter. Finished some paintings off. And we talked.
Another kaleidoscope here. Ferns and pink Foxgloves.
My iPad mini has gone doolally, so I cannot do any video editing until I have sorted it, and I don't feel up to it this minute. I had to order a pile of micro sd cards in order to keep recording.
Hope your day worked out.
