This week I have had a red kite and a buzzard in the garden. Yesterday a magpie came into the house. Either something has died nearby or I'm getting a load of omens.

Just checking some facts about Cantre'r Gwaelod, which drowned in the 7th century, and some call the Welsh Atlantis. Google clearly believes it to be a person as questions such as "when did Cantre R. Gwaelod drown?" pop up. Looking forward finding out about Bannau Brychieniog jr & R. Wyddfa III

Had my first visitor to my birdbox this week. A beautiful little bluetit. They've visited a few times and I'm hoping they're checking it out as a potential nest site.

Every episode of Columbo includes a scene where he tells the killer that his wife is a huge fan of their music, acting, cooking, art, etc.
And then he arrests them for murder.
The whole show is all about Columbo destroying all the things his wife loves. Pure emotional terrorism.

Listening to some "lads" (early teens)on the bus. "I would have sparked him out but my Mrs told me not to get involved." One said between bubblegum vapes. Your Mrs is wiser than you, lad. Listen to your Mrs, even in this fictional scenario.

Today, I saw a bus driver who shouted angrily at a woman to stop her daughter pressing the bell. Upon exiting the bus, to show my disapproval of his harsh reaction, I gave him the ultimate slight. I didn't say "Cheers, driver."

Today there were 7 blackbirds (turdus merula) in my garden. Two years ago I started feeding the birds regularly and last year the blackbirds introduced me to their family, who seem to be thriving. It's a simple pleasure that gives me tremendous joy.

This New Year's Eve, I saw a Mari Lwyd in an old church and stopped my dog from ending a duck. Quite an adventure. Here's to tomorrow!
