Though a man of science I do have a tendency to emotionally imbue inanimate objects with feelings of their own - a soul perhaps. I know it's complete and absolute nonsense but it does, occasionally, cause me a little mental dissonance.
Here is a method of transferring the soul of the old to the new.

So... F.A.D. is imminent.
Hastings' Herring Gulls will be donning their serviettes and risking life and limb (foot and wing) as they get completely off their faces munching the annual treat from pavement and road.
It's an edgy time for both bird and driver.

Birdwatch: the immigrant species bringing a splash of bright green to Britain www.theguardian.com/environment/...
A slightly annoying article (to me) in the Guardian.
I'm anti-parakeeting a bird feeder to stop the buggers from mobbing it leaving squat for other birds (which is their greedy nature).

I love my 'Love in a Mist' plants though they've gone a bit crazy this year because I lazily left them to seed last year (which they do all to readily).

My partner just pulled this from the tumble dryer. She told me not to touch it as it will give me greater wisdom and understanding of the Universe... that I will, in fact, evolve further becoming an Ascendant.

Just spent some time actually deactivating my 'X' accounts rather than just uninstalling the app.
I feel somehow cleaner.
If you see this and have uninstalled the app but not actually deactivated the accounts do so... it's satisfying. I'm probably the only one who has gone about it this way.

Sunday morning used to mark Croissant Day and it was so for a couple of years. I had to confess to my partner that indigestion was the result of my consuming 3 large croissants (my choice).
Now I make poached eggs on toast.
