Years ago I started to use an old empty diary to keep a record of my best birding exploits. That section there ( for August 17th) reminds me that on that day in 1993 I saw the Titchwell Oriental Pratincole ..... thus completing my Pratincole collection. I remember it well. Mainly because I got lost on the way. How could I possibly get lost on the coast road ? I don't know. It was a long time ago. You can also see that on the same day in 2003 I spent a whole day on St. Martin's ( Scilly) but obviously I didn't see owt much. And the same date the next year I was returning from Scilly on the boat and got a Sooty Shearwater and 4 Storm Petrels.I think that was the trip where our luggage didn't come back with us.... which was a bit awkward. We weren't the only ones though. As all the cases etc were dumped on the quayside in pouring rain, and people left with their stuff, a few bedraggled wrecks remained in the wet waiting for their luggage ... and waited ..and waited. We were a bt irked, to be honest. Anyhow, we got it back the next morning. But I was young then ! Sort of. Anyway, I can thoroughly recommend this idea of keeping a sort of multi-year record book of what you did. Right then ... here's top French band Indochine with " Pink Water" .. . Je pars, je ne reviendrai jamais
Bientôt le monde m'aura oublié tu sais... Que j'aille... la, la, la, la Tu vois... Je recherche un endroit pour me cacher et pour me faner en paix Ne jamais les croire Quand ils t'en parleront Si tu pouvais me voir... Je partirai et je resterai Seulement vêtue de toi Souviens-toi encore Quelques fois de moi... Et ne leur pardonne pas Je pars je ne reviendrai jamais Des roses De l'eau de rose sur moi... Deux filles dans un jardin Un jardin étrange Mais retiens-moi par la main Et si demain tu ne me rejoins pas Alors continue sans moi Je partirai et je garderai que des restes de toi Souviens-toi encore quelques fois de moi... Mais ne leur pardonne pas Je pars je ne reviendrai jamais Bientôt le monde m'aura oublié tu sais Je partirai et je resterai Seulement vêtue de toi Souviens-toi encore Quelques fois de moi... Et ne leur pardonne pas Je partirai et je resterai Seulement vêtue de toi Souviens-toi encore Quelques fois de moi... Et ne leur pardonne pas
