| | | a smug sunday
Today I've had a smug snuggly Sunday 
Had fab lie in, Nipped down to Cardiff bay to get a wicker chair for the bedroom and a nest box. Fave bloke placed nest box on wall, I placed wicker chair in front of bedroom french windows and sat watching feeders in front of camera on tripod. Blue, great and coal tits and the return of much loved greenfinches.
As Dan made me feel guilty earlier by embarking on a jam-making session, I decided to make sunday lunch instead of meekly binning the veggies and going down pub  My bloke thought I'd gone mad! Whilst making lunch also made corned beef pie for tomoz, (bloke now on floor in shock  ) As if this wasn't enough, I fed our visually challenged Hedgehog mid lunch and then made sunflower and nut pudding from leftover pork fat and fed dog. Wine now opened, Van Morrison on the music centre.. wow, aren't sundays fab.... sometimes What's everyone else done today ?

You'd certainly need some garlic soup to ward off all the vampires here .... 
It's okay having energetic weekends ... but I'll be a wreck tomorrow! Quote:

Domestic chores Sunday...Washing, ironing...Cooked for most of the day making meals I can freeze and then heat up once we come in from work. Home made ready meals, if you will. Made steak and ale pie for dinner. Then cleaned all the bird feeders and filled them up. Very tired so I thought I’d spend a few hours on her to relax.

Had a good day, although it took us ages to think of where to go..Ended up at Thorsby Park, with some very interesting (at least to me!) sightings.
Firstly I discovered a Hornets nest: 
Then witnessed a Pike capturing a huge fish: 
A Heron decided to drop in for luch at the same spot! 
Then we saw three pairs of Common Darters, still at it! 
All this was within a few minutes of each other, all on the same stretch of river.
This was quickly followed by an excellent luch before visiting one of my favourite bird feeding sites: 
Not a bad day at all. |

Cetainly a good day you had Graham. What do you think the Coal Tit is saying to the Chaffinch. I think it's "Hey get off my grub, this is my pot"
