    Another lovely walk today. With views like this (please don't quote it as I will remove in a day or two)

    and interesting history as well :T. So lucky to live in such a beautiful place :D.

    Still sitting outside :T, temperature is rising, though some rain forecast for tomorrow so I will be trawling the charity shops and second hand shops - some habits die hard :rotfl:.

    Pruned and fed lovely neighbour's plants so feeling :A. Spoiled it by sitting on terrace and eating a family sized bag of crisps so feeling keech now :rotfl:.

    Just been dive bombed by a mossie - it will regret it axe-murderer.gif.

    In financial news, £6.54 to savings :T.

    Well, oddly enough the gestation period for an osprey egg seems to be spot on when we're due, was 6 weeks on Sunday. Is Osprette a real name? :D

    Today the sun is shining :j.

    And I have bought a laundry basket, two small wicker baskets to store candles, some light bulbs (Spanish light bulbs are atrocious, I'll be bringing out loads :eek:), some cup hooks and some bacalao to make a version of this - never used it before, stinks a bit :eek:.

    Off for a siesta in the sun sleeping-in-hammock.gif

    Gallygirl: Really enjoyed looking through your photographs of Spain. :)

    Ed: I oddly like "Osprette". Mind, I'm not exactly good at names; my son was named after a character in my favourite opera and at first my wife wished to call him by his middle name because she didn't like the name very much.
