That's a good idea. You can try and sell to the girl with your taste in shoes who's feet are the mirror image of your own. ;-)

The OH says send the other odd pair back (the two shoes that don't fit) and hope they don't notice, LOL :-D

No dog and not a birdwatcher. Do you know where he lives? Could he have spotted you from a house and then followed you? Is it a quiet place?

I shy away from a back road round here. A guy watches from his garage and always comes out and says hello, really quickly, like he watches from the near the door, with the lights off. I tell the OH but he plays it down. I want him to say something. When I have passed with the OH, the man has ignored us. Btw I totally blank him, every time. I hate people who act like this with total strangers. It might be a little different where you live, but in London it's just weird behaviour. It's a short cut for me, but sometimes I just go the long way around.

Yes, that's very, very odd!!! If it were me I'd change my routine immediately.

Bins are back. They seem OK. They didn't have to go to Germany, so it wasn't that long really. I'm not exactly sure what went wrong, the bloke in the shop didn't know. All done for free, so that was good. :-)

Ah, OK! I have a feeling the thread was about hay lying in the road and things like that, now I come to think of it. :-O

Kicking myself. I was walking to work at the weekend and I stopped to hear strange calls that seemed to be coming from a field. When I neared the private fields, I spotted a man entering them "by the back door". I got ready to call security, but "let him off" as he was just a birder. Who else would be peering intently into a VERY LARGE hedge of blackthorn, his bins case visible by his side. He reported his sightings to the local bird club (with a time, so it had to be him) and the list with locations was published just now. The birds were a flock of Yellow Wagtails (like that one you saw, but we don't get them here) and he must have been watching the Little Owl (the one I hear but never see). Ahhhhh! I wish I'd crossed the field and asked him what he was looking at. I WILL see what the others see!!!! And if I ever get my bins back, I will be a woman possessed....LOL

The binoculars came with a lifetime guarantee; they are being assessed (in Germany I assume) and hopefully repaired. But he said it would take a long time. Right on time for the start of migration. Not worth buying another pair. But I MISS them, LOL. If someone were to say to me "you can only have one luxury - camera, telly, laptop or bins" I'd say bins!

It's the nature of the work and the more time I spend getting it right, the less painful it is in the long run. They are not even half days, but of course there is travelling, so it does cut into the weekend.

I'll change the route I use to get to work and walk for about an hour before I start each day. So will look forward to more migration in the mornings. I have the OH's monocular. The quality of the optics is quite good (Opticron) but my eyes do see better with the Zeiss. The monocular is better than the bins I borrowed the other week.

There are NO fungi where I go atm. I don't understand it. I can find more in my garden. Good luck on your foray - hope you get some good pics! :-) Good luck with the Big Mac too, LOL!

Sounds horrible hope they find a cure asap. You sound like you know what to do, but soup must get boring. Can you have mash and things like that?
I've been working and it's work all weekend. No walks, nothing. No bins yet either. I'll have to go shopping, or take up crochet, or whatever women are supposed to do with their free time. :-O
