Damn the cold…..

Awake all night again, looked outside around eight this morning and everything was white over again, outside temp’ a chilly minus 5F….

Got my first proper gas and electricity bills for this place on saturday lunchtime…. not nice, gas is the worse one with it being gas central heating and water heating, I could do with a soak in the bath but now not sure I can afford the luxury, time to make some cutbacks I guess, no more treats, no more booze…..

Things are looking up with the birds, seems to be getting a lot busier recently with the continuing cold weather, taking a que from Daffy I’ve listed the ‘visitors’…..

Robins – x2
Great Tits – Numerous
Long Tailed Tits – x4+
Coal Tits – Numerous
Blue Tits – x4-6 usually
Green Finches – Numerous
Wrens – x2
Assorted Sparrows – Numerous
Dunnocks – X1 or 2…. Hard to tell as they hide so well !
Wood Pigeons – Numerous fat ones…. LOL
Collared Doves – x6+
Blackbirds – Numerous
Thrush – x1 so far, good for getting rid of snails!!
Starlings – Numerous…. noisy, greedy little buggers!
Crows – Were numerous until I stopped using ‘tray’ feeders

No doubt there’s some I’ve missed but thats the list of regular sightings!

Time to make a coffee and go chat to the lovely Dee on msn messenger…..

SeeYa…….

New Year Resolutions

Normally this subject is something I care very little about, however, this coming new year I may be tempted to try a few……

Tell us your thoughts on this…. do you intend making AND keeping resolutions or is it basically a load of crap ?!!

Mine: [Tongue in cheek.]
1. Take no more crap from people, especially family, and MOST especially my [ex] parents.
2. Take time to notice the things that are going on around me that are good and disregard the rest.
3. Continue eating Tesco cheapo pot noodles despite Daffy’s comments, if she was that concerned she’d come here and make her argument face to face. [and collect this bloody pink elephant pillow I've been saving for her for centuries... ]
4. Get rid of the wasters in my MSN Messenger contacts list, those folk that say ‘great, add me’ then don’t log in or don’t wanna chat, that does not include prior contacts I’ve known for a while who I know have busy lives.
5. Stop making New Year Resolutions.

So, is this gonna be a ‘comments war’ between my regulars here on WordPress and my new friends from the Mad Hatters? Go for it folks…
