:lol: indeed - teenage lads up to relatively harmless hijinks which the police handled with common sense. The world is not completely insane.

What??? They should have both been handcuffed and committed. :eyebrow:

TheMercenary 02-16-2010 10:52 AM

Silly, but I can admit to being handcuffed as a teen for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They let me go without charges.

It's half-term here, so I knew that I would be the object of some interest in town today. Now I am used to the pre-schoolers saying, without artifice, "Mummy! That lady has pink hair!" and the older schoolkids complimenting me (of course) but I had a new one today.

Young lad said as I passed, "Mum, is that a wig?"
Of course he may have been speaking about someone else with an obvious syrup on the other side of Marks & Spencers... but I'm pretty sure it was about me.

Made me smile anyway.

We just had about 2 days worth of mini flocks of Robin's migrate through. I just thought I would let you all who live in the snow that the birds indicate spring is just around the corner.

That's because monster chased them out of Florida with all that inverted roller coaster screaming. ;)

It's sunny and 57 degrees here.

There was a huge flight of Canada geese go buy. I see but mostly hear ducks and geese everyday but this was an enormous group. They darkened the horizon.

Oh, yeah. I saw a big flock of Robins hopping around the snowdrifts in a neighbor's yard. I think they just winter here. Too much trouble to fly south. Lazy little bastards.

We have frogs and they are very happy tonight. lol

I had forgotten how many frogs were out this way at night. I remember as a kid it was quite a racket. In that respect along with the geese and ducks it still feels country. Tonight this one frog has found a partner. The tone and the timber are different. I imagine they sound happy and that amuses me.

We love the sound of the frogs, they have really kicked up in the last 2 weeks, but now now because we are back into a night time cold snap with daily highs in the high 50's. But when they are really chirping the sounds is deafening. Lovely.
