It's been a while...

An age in fact, since the last blog... Since then we've had sunshine and lots and lots of rain.

With the first feel of Summer came the influx onto the roads of the fair weather motorcyclists, you know the ones, they forget how big fast and heavy their machines are and spend the first few weeks of use re learning all those skills whilst everyone else tries not to be killed by them, the bikers appear oblivious, thinking that a) they're cool riding around in t-shirts and shorts 'cos it's just too hot and inconvenient to squeeze yourself into leathers on a hot day, and b) they're immortal... if helmet wearing wasn't mandatory I'm sure they'd go without. Hey stupid!! It's not as if the leathers have any other reason... I got off the soapbox when the sun disappeared and the rain came down as the fairweather bikers seemed to evaporate.

I am starting to think the birds have a collective eating disorder... They have been busy, the feeder has been empty and refilled every so often... I am so bad at keeping it topped up it often sits for days with the dregs at the bottom and then I fill it and it seems to go in 3 days, when I was regularly topping it up when it got empty it never seemed to be devoured so quickly. Surely they're not bingeing and then starving themselves waiting for me to refill the feeder...
