A photo of a skirted Mr GG (minus face :rotfl:) will be posted in due course
. He has also taken to doing THIS so has been christened Bruno :rotfl:.
Anyway, I am having a big clean up and Mr GG has been decluttered to the UK for a few days. After a few hours work I went down to the playa naturista - lot's of Nature Notes but no photos :eek: :rotfl:.
21.30 and still 33 degrees :eek:. Too hot for anything but melon and cherries and some rose wine with ice.
Nature Notes:
1. 'We Are a Grandmother' has gone a bit pear shaped. Baby sparrows have disappeared :eek:. They didn't seem ready to fledge but nest was abandoned and no dead sparrows. Hoping they haven't fallen down vent into extractor fan in kitchen :eek: but will know in a day or two _pale_. Vent cleared (putting extractor fan on full once slats were removed resulted in flying nests :rotfl:) and redone with mesh to stop it reoccurring.
2. Flamingos still there :T
3. Had to wait to turn into street while 100 or so goats crossed the road.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

It learned to fly by scrambling up onto her big plantpots and flapping its wings
and did indeed survive to fly off to join mum and dad on the chimneypot once again :beer:

2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Kc - one ended up in our woodburner last summer :eek: Fortunately DH managed to take the stove apart without crushing it and we took it to a bird hospital because it was tiny. It made a huge mess though!
When the other babies got bigger, one fell in the road so DH went up the ladder to put it back on the roof. This happened a few more times before they were clever enough to stay put.
No babies on the roof this year thank goodness, I couldn't handle the stress of it!"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." Terry PratchettBought our house 2012Married 2015
Started renovating 2015 :eek:
Renovation fund... what renovation fund? :eek: Emergency fund 40% Future fund... ongoing...0 -
Good heavens! That sounds a *lot* more stressful! I saw the adolescent - he was called Splot2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Nature Notes:
1. Sparrows having a dust bath
2. Murmuration of starlings last night, around 750-1,000 of them :T
3. Em, I may have some pink bits due to falling asleep on the beach earlier - let's just say it's not just my face that looks like this.
Finances updated, spending a bit better so far as boozy neighbours have gone home :rotfl:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0
