It’ll be Frank Wilson next. Pal of mine, her husband is a musician and tells great stories about backing the Ronettes amongst others and Phil Spector pointing a gun at him. Still playing.
Love it!I second that emotion.

A medley of animals, Pa Badger left the badger cubs at home with mum while he enjoyed foraging...
Creative is an ink painting I did, which I finished off with the black ink drawing in Procreate.
Sparrows - there are 30 plus baby sparrows in my garden and no parents. There are three females I particularly recognise because they were the first in this latest batch of baby sparrows. I called them the 3 Musketeers. They squawked loudly, fluffing up their baby feathers, but no one came. They could all feed themselves from the feeders but they were skinny. Eventually more baby sparrows got 'dumped' in my garden. And no one was feeding any of them, but they squawked loudly to no avail. Then they got on with feeding themselves from the feeders. Some doing better than others. So I felt an obligation, as the adult, to make sure the feeders were always full. 20 plus fatballs a day was needed for this hungry lot. And if they ran out, I have a whole pile of baby sparrows looking at me to refill... that happened yesterday afternoon. They seem to regard me as 'she who fills the fatball feeders'.
They play all day long, fly up to my bedroom (door is open outwards into the garden).
A couple of days ago, two adult male sparrows flew into the garden and began feeding all the baby sparrows. It was bedlam when the baby sparrows realised someone was feeding them. Fights broke out between the baby sparrows to be first to be fed by the adult male sparrows. These same two adult males are now coming daily, a couple of hours after daylight and are leaving around 4pm.
As far as I can tell, all the 30 plus baby sparrows are females. They live and play and sleep and eat in my garden. They are a flock of sparrows in themselves. Is this how flocks of sparrows are formed?
They are used to this human, and don't mind me wandering among them doing my stuff.
I can happily watch them all day...
Have a great day.
Time for a cuppa.

Nighttime wildlife camera...Pa Badger fossicking around, then joined by badger son
Creative is ink painting, but the black line drawing has been done digitally, because these individual ink paintings are going to be used for postcards for my hobby of Postcrossing, and only then will I do an actual black ink brush pen drawing based on the interests of the recipients.
Time for a nap
Despite the strong winds outside, the temperature has already reached 20C...
Have your best day
Those baby/young sparrows are getting very cheeky, they keep flying in and out of my bedroom door (which opens outwards into the garden). Each time they do that, I freeze! And watch! Yesterday, the fatball feeder nearest my bedroom door (just over a metre away) ran out of fatballs twice. And the baby/young birds just sat on the branch and looked at me....I had no choice but to refill...

Glad I don't have a tv. I don't have to wonder if it is worth losing another hour of my life watching the second episode of a series to see if it has picked up its pace @dunelmGood morning everyone and welcome to a dull and blustery start here in the dark and dangerous north. Just out the washing on the line and fed some sugar water to a bee which took a few sips before gathering itself up and flying off. Rain stopped play yesterday with a tap full on and then off action to fool the optimistic into venturing out. Have coat sales fallen into decline? Must be a fashion shift, a bit like tall hats in the 19th C. Watched the first episode of the TV production of Becoming Elizabeth last night - not sure. Better watch another episode. Art bit, slowly slowly. Hope you have a smashing day, I am living this one as if it’s Tuesday. Better make some koffy.

Thanks @dunelmReally enjoying this series @gennepher
@gennepher having one system would be so efficient and work really well and would be so much better than the chaotic system at the moment.It would be an idea, as you say, for there to be some kind of one system where all these kinds of apps for controlling medical devices could (have to) register on. And in theory you go to this one central site especially when you have a problem or for advice. In this way, all this information from the different apps devices/updates etc could be collated and in theory be sorted more easily. But that is probably all too difficult to set up @Annb
Currently I get told by the hospital to bring up my issues with cochlear. Cochlear direct you to the FAQ's. That in turn can direct you to the your phone provider who in turn direct you to...
No real person actually answers your problem/question/etc because no one knows the answer.
I fear that's a dream, if local councils & the car kings of travel can't get one to suit all .@gennepher having one system would be so efficient and work really well and would be so much better than the chaotic system at the moment.
I have to agree with you - it's all about empire building and power but there is something very wrong in a society that allows such a situation to exist. The parking fee problem could be sorted easily though, by not insisting that everyone uses an app. There may be other situations where using an app makes life difficult for the citizens of this land and could be legislated for fairly easily by banning the exclusive use of apps to access the service. It is not beyond the wit of man (or woman) to work it out. It seems to be beyond the wit, or desire, of government though.I fear that's a dream, if local councils & the car kings of travel can't get one to suit all .
I have to have 3 separate apps to park the car.
One for home area, one for around work & one for around the main hospital I needed after accident
Suppose if I go outside to other councils I'll need yet another app.
So to have the havoc inflicted on you gen by those updates, your absolutely entitled to rant.
Not dissimilar, but bus lane rules & motorcycle parking...mmh.
One big city, so one same system ...not a chance. lol
A dozen variants on bus lane usage, and a myriad of motor cycle parking rules, that enormously hinder anyone trying to motorcycle into London unaware of each council's arbitrary rules
I fear no one gives up their tiny bit of power for the good of the public & a unified system, sadly

Art bit solidly progressing. You are skilled at these solid stone walls...
