Huzzah !! This morning ( 11:07 am to be precise) a Chiffchaff sang loudly at the bottom of the garden ... and when I went for a stroll, I got two more. They're "in" as us lot say. And to add to the excitement after what seems like 8000 years of rain and tempest, one of our neighbours told us that a week ago (!) they heard a cuckoo. Crumbs !! Crikey ! Briwsion ! Jings ! Well then ... what is the correct/polite reply ? Luckily The Significant Otter was at my side, and said something nice. Phew ! A lucky escape there. And this afternoon, I cracked that grid puzzle I wrote about a short while ago. I was chuffed ... not least because the "instructions" were rather useless... distinctly misleading actually. For a start, it seems to infer that the first clue leads to a bird that starts with W ..but it doesn't. Brilliant. It's a clever clue though. It was clever clue And so were all the others. But I battled through And the answers I discovered ! But ... I worked out my own sweet way of "doing" it .... aha ! It's on post 812 if you want to have a go..... ... a mere 3 posts back. In these troubled times, we need distraction from the seething hordes of ignorance. Not mentioning any actual names. And certainly not any rhyming with Crump or Bohnson. I bet they couldn't tell a Chiffchaff from a Chuffer-train. We've also spotted a few Bees, and a tortoiseshell butterfly flew through the garden. Wizard !! And one of the Blackcaps, or maybe a "new" one, appeared. Just another day .... I'll put the "answers" somewhere or other on here .... watch this space...
... but just as proof that I've done it, the " hidden message" is HAPPY CHRISTMAS .
