Hi, Rusty!
Well, the only reason I myself have been trying to contact the son is to hasten matters along.
The workmen cannot come to find and rectify the leak until all this is sorted.
Such a waste of water!
I reiterate........thank goodness we are not having to pay for it!
Now, the young man on Sweden's Got Talent?
He seems a pleasant lad; it was a pitiful tale he told of being an Azerbaijani refugee and wanting to live in Sweden.
But I do not think such facts should influence the judges' decision as to his talent?
Indeed, I do not think the judges - or the public - should learn of this at all?
Also, the choice of song was such as to emphasis the situation (I read all the subtitles)
I was sorry for him as an individual, but didn't like the stress on the (political) situation, nor was I all that blown away by his voice.
You speak of " The Voice: UK".....
There, the judges hear the singer unseen (hence the title of the show) and without at that stage learning any personal details.
They judge purely on the quality of "the voice".
Having said all that though...I am not unsympathetic .....I hope the outcome is good for the young man.




Hello, Pigale!
My cats would never kill anything hat they brought in ...we would have to live with mice peeping out from under the piano.......and frogs hopping around the kitchen.......
Thank for the link on the barn owls......... I followed them last year.

Hello, Elle!
I understand you are trying to hasten matters along, but I think you should leave it to Thames Water.
It is not your place to be chasing folk up.
Thames Water know the situation and I am sure can deal with it.
You have presented them with the facts as you know them, now let them get on with it.
I asked if you thought the lad was a good singer, that's all.

A very good morning to you, Rusty!
We have a beautiful day here.
It is a tad warmer at 6C, with blue skies and bright sunshine!
A great morning for a brisk walk!
I have looked in on Lassie...still by herself......but busily organising the nest.
Hopefully, Laddie will join her soon.
How are things up your way?
Anything planned for the day?

I missed your post where you said you had seen a Red Kite . Wow!
Are they common where you live ?
The last time I saw some was many years ago in Wales (genealogy research for Welsh ancestry of my husband)
We stayed with a friend in Llwyn-y-groes and he drove us to the Brecon Beacons. The film in my camera was not wound securely and the whole film came out blank :(

Hi, Rusty!
I hope all is okay with you and yours ?
You don't seem to have been around today?
Mind you, nor have I since late morning........
Firstly, my computer has been playing up off and on......and then I have been out all the afternoon.
It is glorious here......Spring has definitely Sprung!



Hello, Pigale!
I will take the opportunity to write whilst my computer is behaving itself......
I've just looked up the barn owls...both are there in the nesting box....no eggs yet though?

Hi, Rusty!
My computer is still a bit iffy...it keeps closing down programmes......I think it really needs an overhaul!
Our daughter has promised to take a look....but she has been extremely busy juggling work and family.
Maybe she will find time for it this coming weekend.......
It is good that EJ has returned.
Was Odin's "disappearance" ever put down to anything in particular?
Do you think he died...or is there a vague chance that he might return this year?

Hello JG
Red Kites are far too common round here, I live near where they were reintroduced and now there are no kestrels.....
One time I saw 8 together! I can often see them from where I am now.
I did once (about 40 years ago!) go to a very remote Welsh Valley to look for them, but didn't find one. Now I see them every day

I wasn't aware.
There are pairs of kestrels breeding in both our nearby parks, but no kites !
