Chicken and Waffles

 
The usual Saturday "Chicken Run" to the Co-op early this morning in the pouring rain. Decided to go in the car for a change and stay reasonably dry. Later to Hazel's Mom and sister's to drop off the chicken and waffles etc. Sat in the front garden but it was pretty cold despite the sun popping out briefly, so we didn't stay long. Hazel did a dance in front of the window to entertain her Mom. I read the local paper - full of doom and gloom! The enormous fat cat waddled up to say "meiow" and point at it's face for food. Audrey has been feeding him despite the knowledge that he might explode!

Robin

Nice walk around Shackerly Mere this morning while the sun was shining. We saw several robins or maybe the same one flitting about just in front of us - from branch to branch and turning over dead leaves to find bugs. He very kindly posed for this photo by the water's edge. part of the lake was frozen over and seagulls were skidding along looking most comical. The ducks too seemed to be in good spirits despite the cold and diving and splashing around as if they were at the beach at Brighton in July!
No boot sales today sadly but yesterday I walked into town and got a few "stocking fillers" and two scratchy records - one by a child progeny who plays the piano and sings Inka Dinka Do, the old Shnozzle Durante song- the worst version I have ever heard! The piano playing is Grade Two level and quite acceptable - her only claim to fame is that she starred in the film Girls Girls Girls with Elvis back in the 60's. The other record is a sleeveless copy of an old 50's Brunswick label 10" LP called Country Favourites Vol. 1" and it has a couple of real gems on it including Goldie Hill's "I Let The Stars Get In My Eyes".
