Sat in the garden watching bluetit parents going in and out of their nest box feeding their young.  It's incredible the amount of effort they put in every day!

Good job we supply a plentiful array of supplements to keep them going ☺️

We've got the annual invasion of baby Starlings in the garden now. They are a bunch of lunatics. I love them. 😍

We don't get starlings till the autumn but we're inundated with sparrows now.

There's probably half a dozen nests in the conservatory roof space alone and they've all fledged at the same time 😂

The different women I most care about being, on this same day, happy and sorted with massive worries out the way

I mean I hope the lads are all good too

But when the women I know are happy

Then I can relax  :D

The baby Starlings again. They've worked out that if they all stand on the net on the pond it dips down into the water and they can all have a bath. They've been splashing around and having a great time.

Aww starlings!!


Was in a pub today after the game. Couple of women come up to me and set a pint down, one goes "Excuse me, I can't drink this and we have to go, very sorry to trouble you but would you "

Me: are you asking me if I want a free pint?

Her: yes!

Then they go outside into a cab

Always happy to help, that's me.

If you'd told them you were relaxed, they'd have given the pint someone else...

:thumbup.

My mate stood up and I said you're not fucking off are you, it was 1-1 at the time. He said no, I need to get away so going to stand in the aisle, I looked back at the pitch just as Kirkland launched it and then bedlam. My mate was grinning like a loon as he had seen the goal.

I work with an Arsenal fan who was in the away end that night, said he's never heard noise like it.

I remember watching Harry Kewell getting taken out & the next thing you knew the ball was in the back of the net. Had to double take when George announced it was scored by Neil Mellor.

well done mate  :wave

on a totally different path from that...

i just popped into town and was walking in the albert dock (no, not literally in the dock) and accidentally bumped into a guy in a wheelchair

and what made it worse was that he was very physically disabled - think stephen hawking - and he was having trouble controlling his movements and his speech but seemed to be getting around fine in his electric wheelchair

i apologised and offered my hand but felt awkward trying to shake his

but i did notice he had a lfc cap on so i said 'a fellow fan eh? there's only one club eh?' and i raised a clenched fist

he then beckoned me to come close

so i moved my head close to his and he was really struggling to say something

i felt embarrassed to say 'what was that?' but i did and he beckoned me closer

he struggled again but managed to say 'city'

i said 'yeh what a city, what a club eh?'

and he said 'no......no......city'

i said 'city, yeh?'

he beckoned me even closer and said 'fuckin twats eh?'

i just burst out laughing and he smiled and swiftly moved his wheelchair's joystick and was off like lightning

Enjoying the sunny days and making my own cold drink mixes and the odd home made milkshake. One thing about making your own shakes it doesn't half make you appreciate how much sugar goes into the ones sold in the shops. It's takes a bit of getting used to drinking your own.

receiving a hand-written thank you letter from a couple whose wedding we went to

they even mentioned our gift too (and got it right  :wave)

been to sooooo many weddings over the years where we've never even been thanked - and we've made the time to go, bought new clothes, spent out on travel and accommodation, and again on drinks as well as the obligatory present (usually dictated to from 'wedding' lists) and the majority of the time no one has personally said 'thank you' 'cept for the bit where you meet the said bride and groom on your way in and they say 'thank you for coming'

worse one was (i thought this was supposed to be 'things that make you happy'?) we had to fly to greece for a wedding and 4 months after this glorious occasion they split up - i wasn't happy - i wanted my money back! in fact, i wanted my gift back but my other half said 'don't you dare ask for it!'

Going from having nothing to do to finding out my sister's arriving this afternoon for an overnight stay and tomorrow my niece and her family are coming to drop off their youngest to go and stay with my sister for the rest of the school hols.

It's great when you're in a beautiful spot and midway between families so people want to visit 😁
