No spitting allowed, Juliet! No throwing stones and no crows flying. Please.
:)
I'm hiding out in the one room of the house that currently has an air conditioner in the window. Supposed to be in the low 90sF today. _________________ "Language, however, is not language" |

Peter...I thought I was making a fresh and original witticism. Your reply made me go back through the thread. "Costa del Grimsby" was apparently your original one. How old am I that I thought we were both saying original thoughts? I've apparently lost my memory and have no idea where I saw it last... _________________ "Language, however, is not language" |

Alex, did you terry off the feathered friends? What's the outlook for your area for the summer? Here in the States they're predicting a more severe hurricane season and we've already had a much more active and deadly tornado season.
I also can't believe how hot and humid it's been for June.
I'm very thankful for air conditioning.
Beautiful day today, though, at about 81F and a nice breeze. _________________ "Language, however, is not language" |

Brrrr...southern hemisphere blues - top of 13 degrees C here today (about 55 F); so much for sunny Australia (in June, anyway!...roll on Spring...) _________________ 'I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?' - Andy Warhol |

The young magpies have found their wings and the fat balls and at have at least fended off the pigeons who eat everything in sight without a break.....loads of sparrows are constant visitors along with some young blackbirds...the rain has encouraged live food to burrow up through the earth so the feeder will be left for a couple of days. |

Poor Scruffy! That'd be hard to watch especially since nothing you can do to help.
We're in for higher temps. as the week progresses and a few thunderstorms.... _________________ "Language, however, is not language" |

He seems to have skedaddled....but I'll wait till summer is over before clearing the nest box.
Also, just the other day I mentioned to my better half that the young magpies all seem to have very long tail feathers...when what turns up...a magpie with NO tail feathers...christened "Stumpy"..... |

I miss the snow!
Thunderstorms expected through Friday, highs in the 80s and humid.
It feels like August and not June. _________________ "Language, however, is not language" |

There used to be a sarky expression used when one walked into a Dundee hostelry out of a rainstorm...utterly drookit.....and some worthy would ask, "Is it still raining?"*....the invariable answer would be..."NO!...a big dog peed on me!"*

I will not be posting in this thread again. Please just assume:
Aberdeen - raining.
