It doesn't look 31cm long, but it was. Well, yesterday my partner in "life", TSO, aka The Significant Otter, found she had "got" Covid. And that means I'm going to get it. I've had two negative tests, but surely I'll get it in the fullness of time. She's a lot more annoyed than me, because she is very sociable and goes to lots of things ... cinemas, keep fit, crossword clubs, friends ( friends ! ). But here's another sad thing. Yesterday I went into our "orchard" and behind the 8-foot mesh fence at the far end of it was a beautiful but dead male Sparrowhawk. After about 136 attempts to reach it and fish it out, I cobbled up a makeshift giant pair of tweezers out of two long sticks and some string and after lots of failures I managed to get it. And what a beautiful bird it was. The aforesaid wife has apparently taken a few snaps of it, but I can't find them on my "device". This could well be because my computer is getting increasingly unreliable ... as am I. I have found the snap now. AS for the bird, I buried it, very sadly. Time for a relevant song I think ... Lass uns verschwinden ( Let us disappear) By the way, I have "got it" now so I've got to keep out of everybody's way for a while. Lucky them.
