What are you all up to

Stunned pigeon 😲. Great outline though! We've had similar, but not such a clear outline, generally when the sparrowhawk comes through.

Again thanks for all your kind words.

ABM I phoned mum's GP as she'd been the previous Friday for the 2nd time that week,  I expected an out of hours doctor and the police. Instead we tied up an ambulance and crew, who arrived within 15 minutes, plus 2 separate paramedics although they went quite swiftly, for 2.5 hours - they had to stay until the police arrived. I had to keep the 999 call open until the ambulance entered the house. A few weeks ago a young lad who got knocked off his bike had to lie on the road for 4 hours locally 😲. The police were with us for almost 2 hours as it was a busy night and their control forgot to call the coroner's undertakers, who did come very quickly. All in all 6 hours.

B2. It's one of those things that happens when someone dies unexpectedly. I remember the same happening to a friend in our village but in some ways having the response people around her after her husband suddenly died helped with the initial shock. I spent quite a bit of time mulling over things when I lost my Mum last year, all the "what if's" because she was taken ill very suddenly and nothing really prepares you for these events. 

Stunning Photograph, OP

So very true! 

Can’t believe it a second pigeon has hit the kitchen window🐦

Perhaps it was the same one? 

We had a spate of Kamikaze Pigeons hitting our bedroom window a few years ago. Decided on installing vertical blinds and that seems to work as a deterrent or just lets them know there is a window there. They always seemed to hit the window the day after I cleaned them.

Lovely sunny but cold day here so I weather proofed a couple of fencing panels that badly needed it. Didn't think I was going to get around to it this year but better late than never.

We occasionally get the “ghost” print on the windowpane. Usually a wood pigeon, or a collared dove, and they are usually fine. But we sadly found a beautiful little goldfinch dead on our patio one morning. We have put those bird silhouettes on all windows now, which has helped.

Just returned from dog walk, went a little later and omitted the park, so it was dark our church has organised advent windows in the parish. First one at the church hall lovely surprise all 5 windows facing the road decorated 😃. Tried to photograph on my phone not easy with dog lead too! All dig walks will be taken via the windows as another joins in.

I almost volunteered to do our window for it - so glad I didn't in view of recent events. Maybe next year.
