Things That Gladden The Heart

Honestly, down here there are so many that, unless there's a flock, you almost dont notice them...
The breeding and release program that happened years ago about 15 miles down the road has been such a success.
Councils are having to tell people not to feed them - theres almost too many...

Loads around the M40 just past High Wycombe heading north...

That's where the release happened 25 odd years ago at Chinnor - about 2 miles off the M40
They've spread dramatically

With not much else to go out and do, this might be the first time in my life I ever actually enjoy cutting the grass. Probably not though.

Edit: Nope, I was wrong.

Cake. CAKE!

HID has had a baking day... warm Victoria sponge. A coffee cake AND two of my savoury favourites, cheese and onion pie and corn beef and potato pie. I will look like a shed by the end of the lockdown. The 2.5st I lost in the last 2 years will return.

Got loads of beer in if you want to pop over... running low on brandy though.

A generous offer thank you! Sadly, due to pressing issues, I am unable to take you up on your offer presently...

Hope you are able to replenish your stock of Brandy asap👍...

So many people donating shopping at the trust to be distributed to the staff struggling to get to shops or get necessities

M&S double chocolate muffins.
Just had four and there's another four looking right at me.
Now that's a conundrum!

Pretty much all of M&S feed is sensational

Having cleaned my wife's car, I have found out it is white.

Managed to book in a service and mot for Mrs Imurg's limo on Thursday
NHS key staff so needs reliable wheels...

Working being totally understanding and supporting me in taking time off until my partner is finished with chemo.

Going out for a long walk in the sun and everyone I saw said hello. Almost a new wave of appreciation for others in these difficult days.

I hope they did so from over 2 metres away.

Seeing the Space station flying over a couple of minutes ago.
Got the binoculars on it and it was as clear as day...until the curve of the Earth cut out the sunlight and it disappeared
Flat earth eh..?

Used my allowance today to go on a 20m bike ride - in shorts! So got my daily exercise and vitamin D quota. Bit chilly on the head so a buff under my helmet next time. Best part was a red kite swooping low (I was looking a bit tired) and joining me for a few precious seconds...awesome.
