rowan - I know that you like birds and stuff, but I actually find them boring. I can see their beauty - colours etc, appreciate their ferocity - swans on the local pond and stare enviously at them as they soar above me - but they are still 'not interesting'.
I have had to rescue a few from behind my gas fire when the wind blows them down - they are not at all grateful. One crow was exceptionally noisy and troublesome - what a noise!
I was in Belgium when this came out - I thought that (music-wise) they must be a backward nation. Then I went back home and it was playing everywhere. Nice and cheery - chirpy even!
I have just opened two letters - one to say that I can get my flu jag and one to say my GP wants to see me. I think that I will ignore one - will ponder over which one!
