More blue skies today.
Birdies have recovered from their shock and are back to their normal spring discussions (cor look at the fevvers on that, etc.).

Grey and soggy here

Damn damn damn damn damn. I thought that had been sorted out.
(directs a powerful healing impulse at Twelliesâ head)
Drat and botheration, Twellsy.
26deg here & very sunny
Slight tension headache, but nothing compared with yours Twellsy
I have seen the Podiatrist, & Orthotics will be made for me
I also toddled orff for a blood test, as Iâm sure this thing is flaring up again
Had a pleasant surprise when I got back - you may remember that I had cause to complain about Tilda rice , & they have found a tiny hole in the back of the packet which neither they, nor I made. Unpacking, & storing in shops is thought to be the cause
Anyhoo, it compromised the contents, & they have sent me ÂŁ20 worth of vouchers
I may need an Snoozette before long
Perhaps during TAâŚ

Best time forrit. 27°C nearby, and Iâve been in the garden most of the day.
But surely you donât want to miss the sleb appearance?
On which point, I note that Ms Dillon:
ââŚhas become increasingly interested in the link between diet and treatment and prevention of cancer. In 2013, she spoke to Jenni Murray on Womanâs Hour about her experience of the disease and her views on how diet can affect recovery.â
Yet sheâs going to voluntarily ingest Mankwold?
Itâs like chemotherapy, only less fun.
An enjoyable day has been had. Mr Soo was treated to:
A brief sojourn in a cafĂŠ in Bellingham - the capital of North Northumberland - where I pushed the beely boat out for a toasted teacake with butter, blackcurrant jam and a cup of tea.
A bit of a sunbathe in 24C.
A visit to the Kielder Bird of Prey Centre where we saw this chap:
and many others.
Fairly tame (the Sea Eagle isnât completely so) but it Was Good.
I hope that our Chatelaine has rested and send love.

Sounds like a very good birthday to me, Soo. Many happy returns to the mister. When you said Bellingham, I was most miffed that you hadnât dropped in for Ordeal by Gingerbread. There is another Bellingham just down the road from me. Rather less attractive all round than yours, it has to be said. And absolutely no sea eagles.

This Gingerbread, GusâŚany chance of a recipe? I promise that any ingredients will be easily sourced, so I shanât pull a fast one, this time
Soo xx
I shall type and send it, wiv Observations, wee Bee. And I donât recall anyone pulling a fast one, but there you goâŚ

Happy smile goes here:

Gingerbread is 1 of the few âcakeyâ things I like
Am alternating between Pottering & Flumping ATM

I am a Replete Birdie (liver ânâ tomatoes ânâ mushrumps ânâ mash, yum).
I shall make gingerbread for if, hopefully when, you might visit us, Carinthia.
Here is another of the Birds we saw, today:
Heâs a Bateleur Eagle and was adopted by the Centre as an act of rescue.
He is truly beautiful.
I must watch Simon Reeves - it is Himselfâs Birthday and sacrifices must be made.

Strewth, itâs Froat-Slitter McGurk! I knew 'im when⌠well, I shouldnât say really, 'eâs clearly making an honest life for 'imself now.
He has lost none of his menace, I can tell you, Hedgers.
Anyhoo, I am away to bed. Tomorrowâs celebrations involve DS and DiL, so I must attempt sleep.
Good nights, Cellarites.
Soo xx
