Apart from a quick trip to 'Poundland,' I needed to check prices for Christmas presents for the girls at work, and the joy of cleaning the sink nothing else has happened today.
The dreich weather, gray clouds with almost no sunshine, a weary mind which forced me back to bed not long after my porridge, a very good breakfast they say, and a lot of time running boot scans on laptops there has been nothing to report or even question.
Of course there are major events unfolding, 'Brexit' has been brought before the 'Supreme Court (so named to aid Tony Blair in his US style 'Presidential' fantasies) this court must decide if this government can go ahead without a parliamentary vote or indeed by ignoring Scotland while doing so and begin leaving the EU. Elsewhere war and starvation continue while few bother to report it, tides rise and fall, Polar Bear wonder what they will be called when the Polar has disappeared, and the majority carry on regardless too busy with their own situation to care or do something somewhere to aid matters.
Just like me in fact!
I have however eaten well today. I began with porridge because Oats are indeed good for you. They say that this is one way to lower cholesterol and by adding Honey a good way to allow 'energy' to be available throughout the day. I am far from sure about the last bit! My energy lasts an hour or so and goes elsewhere. maybe I ought to cook a lot of it, let it harden and then chomp on it biscuit fashion. It might be difficult getting the right consistency mind, it might be difficult eating it of course...
However tonight I had a bit of STEAK! The woman next door is now searching for her cat...
Some may think these are old pictures, some would be correct! Nothing to see today out there. Dreich weather does not encourage outdoor pictures especially when there is little in this wee town to call attractive! I took my camera but the inside of the crowded 'Poundshop' was not really a place to start photographing things. As my hands were full of bird pellets anyway it made things all the harder. I met a neighbour there who has the same problem as myself, the birds will not eat anything but 'Poundshop' pellets. She found that by using a different kind of seed from that found in the shop the birds rejected that also. Imagine, we are henpecked by fussy Starlings! Who runs the feeding anyway I ask! During the breeding season it cost me £10 a week!!!! Good job I am kind and loving...

Porridge AND steak! Must be Christmas!
I had no idea that birds were so choosy!
Thank your lucky stars they haven't heard of Fortnum and Mason.
You are certainly a little ray of sunshine on a dreich day! You almost put those sunny flowers to shame! :)
I won't tell the neighbour about your fondness of her cat.
It matters not if the photos are old...that doesn't diminish their beauty. How nice it would be if similar could be said about us (me)!
Fly, Wheeesht! They think these seeds come from Harrods!
