Hello everyone and how are we today then question mark hope everyone is doing well on the Sunday morning. I went up to a place just outside of a place called Castleford yesterday it is an area of 360 acres and used to be an open cast coal mine full stop it got flooded and the mining was abandoned and now it is a massive Nature Reserve. The weather was pretty good and saw some absolutely fantastic Birds. I got some decent pictures though to be honest with you not as many as I hope I would quite a few of them turned out disappointingly so stop still can't be a winner every day! Was going to go metal detecting tomorrow but that has been knocked on the head I trapped a nerve in my leg last night and to see it was painful is an under exaggeration.it has eased off this morning but very tender.
looking at the trump government..it is very similar to our own..yours look like they have just come out of jail hours look like they should be in jail! Amy is on the way down so we are going out for dinner later on. Take care everyone and have a great day

Good evening everyone,

LOL I thought it was Sunday when I woke up today too!!!! Took me half the day to figure out it’s Saturday.
Still not feeling the best but hopefully soon. Stuck close to the house today, don’t want to be spreading ‘it’ around, whatever it is.

Mick, sorry about the pinched nerve, sounds painful. I woke up with a severe leg cramp a few days ago, ouch. Your bird pictures were awesome & Elouise looks very happy & healthy.
I actually feel ashamed that we will be unleashing Trump on the world again. I’ll never understand why people think he’s so wonderful. His cabinet picks are a damn disgrace. I hope we all live thru the turmoil he’s about to unleash. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hello to all & wishing everyone a nice night.

Hello again,

This time it really is Sunday, Lol
I think I’m coming back to life - finally. These virus things are hard to get rid of once they’ve taken over your domain.

I hope everyone has had a great day & wishing a nice night for all!

I’m at D3’s & her husband’s house now; made the drive yesterday. I love being here with the little family. Ayla is so cute at 3 months old! So alert and looking around with her bright eyes! She looks rather like Elouise, as they are the same age. 2 y/o Andy is a sweetheart too. It’s warmer here, being further south; and we spent lots of time outdoors yesterday. They are such good parents, and so cooperative in both running their home and in co-parenting together. D3 is still on maternity leave, so it’s a good time to be here.

Hope that virus runs its course soon, Lav.

That sounds like a beautiful area where you went to photograph, Mick. Worth it just to be in nature, even if it didn’t have so many birds.

Hey everyone,

I’m back in business today - yay!! Tired of feeling like crap to be honest.
I had a 3 pm appt to take 2 cats to the Vet for booster. Luna flat out refused to be crated. We struggled & chased her for 20 min when I said screw it. We took Dave for his shot. &I explained the situation with Luna. Get this - I told them if they would give me the injectable that I would be happy to give it to her myself. They said No!!! I explained I was a nurse with 30 years experience & I would have no problem sticking her. Their response was bring her in another day. Yeah, maybe I will maybe I won’t. It’s not worth raising our blood pressures fighting with a cat. Unbelievable.
Working on some embroidery stuff for a friend now, nice sunny & warm day here.

Slo, I am feeling 100% better, thanks. Glad you got to go see your little ones, I’m sure you enjoyed that. I will be in touch with you soon.

Mick, enjoy the snowfall, early though it may be

Hello to PQ, Cyn, Pie & everyone.
Have a nice night all!

MAE ALL...well that week is finally over. I stayed late Friday and was in early on Saturday and all in all everyone said they had good sales, so I guess it's still worth it. Was exhausted on Sunday but did get out and got a new winter coat. Good thing as we woke up to a blizzard this morning. Temps are going to hover around -15C/59F for the rest of the week. Hoping by Wednesday everybody has figured out how to drive in winter conditions again as I have a Dr.'s appointment. Hope to hear something about the requested MRI.

Mick...I will have to check out your pics on MSG, especially Elouise, haven't seen her for awhile. Sorry about the pinched nerve, I know how painful that can be. Hope you had a nice dinner out with Amy.

Slo...I can't believe Ayla is already 3 months old. Sounds like you had a good visit.

Lav...glad to hear you're feeling better. I really must get my shots soon, my whole schedule got screwed up with my injury. I really don't blame you for giving up on Luna, I agree it's not worth it. It would have been nice if they'd let you give the shot yourself. Yeah, I would really think twice about whether it's worth it to take her in. It was definitely not nice, sunny or warm today. LOL

Shout out to everyone else. Have a good night all...PPQP
