I was sadly lamenting that my garden birds hadn't yet found the new bird table and feeder I put out for them.
A moment later the beautiful piece "Flocks A Mile Wide" (from The Lost Birds) came on the radio, and for the first time a little robin and a bluetit landed on the feeder. 🥰🐦🐦⬛
Perfect.

We love our dog. We would do anything for her. She's spoiled, cuddled, fed, walked and entertained like royalty.
But this....is beyond ridiculous. I really don't think our spaniel cares if tagliatelli is 'artisan', that a dessert is 'guilt free' or what Valentine's day even is.
It's mad. 🫣

Next time time you're tempted to whine about your crappy year, spare a thought for Marie Cooke of London in 1617.
First her husband was robbed of £600 by Turkish pirates, then her son was 'taken prisoner by the Turkes and carried to Argiers where he is detained in slaverie'.

If you're in central Texas & you have room to house a shelter dog in a spare room Friday - Mon/Tues, area shelters would love your help getting dogs out of outdoor kennels and into homes for a brief break. You don't have to do a lot with them, just let them decompress while we wait out the weather.

So, the garage that ignored my plea for help last year when my car starter motor broke, & instead fecked about with tyres & a dashboard light, has sent me a reminder for my February MOT.
Guess what? They can shove that up their exhaust pipe.
Yes, #SonningCommon Garage, that's you.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but didn't we used to be able to search #Ancestry #WWI British soldiers by enlistment date?
I clearly remember years ago easily searching for all soldier enlistments in one specific town in September 1914.
Now I can't find any way this can be done...?
