Crazy weather

Yesterday a temperature record for this month fell - the news say 21°C but I know better, it must have been more! The sun was warm like a hell and everything went crazy during Sunday! The birds,my crocusses, my tomcat - and my daughter´s sheep delivered two lambs!!! All in one day! I was hanging on the fruit trees giving them some pruning - it was so great, I didn´t want to climb down! So I can add myself to a list of crazy things!

That is a better temperature than we usually get for a summer month! Yesterday was dull and grey here but warmer than it shpuld be for February. This morning it is blue skies and sunshine but so cold the birds are using my neighbours hawthorn to sunbathe on as it is the only part of our North facing gardens that get any sun this early. I can see it from the window and there are 6 six sparrows, 2 coal tits and a blackbird on it. I think they are also waiting for my cousin Beth to get up and fill her bird table, they would have a perfect view of her garden from there and all seem to be looking at it. She puts breadcrumbs soaked in the fat from the Sunday roast on it on a Monday and it is gone in minutes.

Ah, I have to report a change - of course, this couldn´t have lasted! It is windy which always means a change - and cloudy and it is getting colder. But one just gets used to pleasant things quite easily...
Unfortunately Ii can´t watch birds like this, it is too noisy and people keep moving around.However we have got that fishpond just 10 metres from the house and I can watch water birds every day!
At present there are mallots and mating noisily - TOO noisily for me to sleep peacefully! Kva, kva, kva!!!

Do you mean Mallards? They were in the first stage of mating when I was out photographing Fourteen Locks, chatting up the females but quietly, following them around as if being towed and frightening off other males. I imagine it has got a lot more noisy by this time.

It keeps my brain nimble, but you are making far fewer mistakes now than when you first came on to lj and your grammar is very good now.
