Good God, no
wonder I get nothing done these days, I am sending about 35 emails per day,
sometimes I really hate email, there is no way I ever had to write 35 letters
every day! It’s ridiculous!! I have been trying to get onto a website to look
at vans they have for sale. Manheim have auctions near Gloucester every week,
however their website is dreadful and to get onto the site and see the vehicles
is apparently impossible, I have tried about four times and have now given up.
For God’s sake you idiots if you want to sell cars let people onto your site –
how stupid can you get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that should
not happen on your birthday either!!!!
We had the most
glorious day yesterday, sunny, warm, just perfect, today is a little bit of a letdown,
but at least it did not rain worth talking about. As long as it stays dry I am
going to be happy. We all just need dry weather for the ground to recover.
We, well
actually I, have been building nests, I have to say they are rather good. I
have been worried about using Leylandii for some time, its horrid stuff, and we
had some problems with a chick earlier on, which I am glad to say is fine now.
So I decided that we would go back to building nests for all the birds that
need them. We put one in with Athena and she laid in it two days later!!! With
a nest you know the egg is safe and can’t roll around and so the risk of them
breaking is less. I have two big ones and three smaller ones to do, its amazing
how many twigs it takes to make them. You also really realise just how amazing
birds are, I have two hands, sticks brought to me by the staff, and two pairs
of cutters, they have a beak!!!
I had a lovely
birthday breakfast, bagels and cream cheese and smoked salmon at coffee time –
far better than a cake!! I did give myself a break from the nest building and I
am not exactly sure what I achieved today, but I am sure I managed something!!
I rarely do nothing.
My sister Anna
gave me some more, plants tokens so with those and the Christmas ones I am
going to go on a shopping frenzy!!! For plants soon, I love buying plants, it’s
so much fun, although planting them is fractionally less fun! But the end
results are great. I had planned to go today, but failed dismally.
I can nearly run
again, well trot slowly might be a better description and not for long, but I
will get there, not planning a marathon, but running is something I like to do
if I can. If only I could get my socks on more easily life would be less of a
stretch!!
The daffs are on
their way up again, and I expect to see a yellow head or two soon, which will
be so nice, I am fed up with cold now, I want to have spring!!
Have just been
out to supper, I drove my little van, but I have to say that having looked on
ebay, I really really want to get an old morris shooting brake!!! There is one
at a reasonably price and I am sooooooooooo tempted !!! They are just such
simple cars, and with so little to go wrong. The trouble with new cars is that
they are so complicated that they cost a fortune to fix. The old ones are
really cool, and there is no tax either!!! Oh well, I guess I had better be
circumspect – damn it!!
Hemp now has three eggs and we have the only Savigny's egg hatching as I write, that will be very good as my best owl was a Savigny's called Papyrus, who was wonderful. I hope this is a male!!
