When one is having a lousy day (as I am), I can highly recommend #winterwatch on BBC iplayer; particularly when it’s streaming from #RSPBArne

It was still daylight (just) when I picked up my book, switched on the daylight lamp, threw in a blanket, & started reading a chapter… then His Lordship figured out where the human was & forgot he’s #notalapcat
