    Well not many birds round here today - only the magpies and seagulls are braving the elements! it's very windy and pouring (as usual) and I need to go to the shops... I think it'll be a quick dash round to get the things I really need and then home...not a day for wandering. I still have a huge ironing pile awaiting my return so hopefully there will be a nice film on this pm to watch while I do it.

    Do they really need an army of cleaners? the ones I fancy at the mo need a fair bit of work but ripping the carpets up, a wash down and some light paint would do it for a while! much like what I did when I moved here...:D
