A few soggy days ago, you might remember my excellent spotting of a female Blackcap only a few metres away in the garden hedge. And the intervening days have been even soggier .... it completely wiped out any remote chance of seeing those Geminid meteors .... But .... this morning, in spite of the wind and rain, a fine male Blackcap made a welcome appearance on the fat-ball feeder. Excellent. Will they stay over the winter ? Last year we had at least three, maybe four. And now here I am in my dinky writing attic, and it is still pouring down. And for the rest of the day, no noteworthy spottings at all. But there's some to find in this lot .. you get the 1st one free ... [1] We live here because of the low rent. [2] We run this town constitutionally [3] Hand over that gun, Marmaduke. [4] Have you renewed the offal contract, Deirdre ? [5] Cobble a Glee Club together tonight darling. [6] There's a butcher on the prowl, Derek ! [7] Bruno's Preying Mantis is an illegal immigrant, fishface ! [8] It's pure bliss wandering around the rubbish tip. [9] Bernard Shaw knows nowt. [10] Gareth has half-inched my spinach. [11] "What's pi ? " " Pi ? 'tis roughly 3.14159 .... , Gareth." [12] Once I saw a baroness wallowing in a muddy moat. [13] Crosby, Bing roused himself from his slumbers . [14] You're bloody 4 hours late, Allan ! [15] I hope this is normal lard, Hermione ? [16] Geraldine Smoggins was the finest wit ever to grace the stage. [17] A new star lingers in the night sky, Kevin. [18] You've got an awful accent, Orville. [19] Geraldine always writes "wif" though she actually means "wife." [20] There a many biblical chapters, including Genesis, Kings, Deuteronomy and last but not least, Job. Right ... music time looms ... all about swallows .. "golondrinas" ......... .. and here's the "sing-along-with-Nena-Daconte" words video ..... singing in Spanish is very sensual ..
