Well that's another year done, if I'd known I was going to last this long I'd have looked after myself a bit better, the weekdays haven't been too bad it's the weekends that's done the damage!😅.
Managed to get down to the Vale again on Friday 29th before the rain came again, it absolutely hammered it down while I was having my dinner in Morrisons.
How's that for a Mini fish and Chips, couldn't eat all that.
But I'm getting in front of myself, down the Vale I helped the children feed the birds with some seed, the girl was brave but her brother was a bit of a wimp!, think it made her day and their granny got some nice pictures with her mobile.
That's Beaky on her sleeve.
Further down the lower mill pond I did a bit of vertical snapping to get used to it.
The two Youngsters.
Big Daddy.
I was so busy with my vertical shots that when I looked down there was the huge Cob swan about 6 inches from my groin!, I didn't fancy feeding him by hand but steeled myself and offered him some seed from my hand and surprise, surprise, he took it quite gentle.
There was a mother and daughter there watching, that I've meet and spoken to before, I think they were showing friends or relatives the pleasures of the vale.
The Dunnocks are not given enough coverage are they, as they are usually hopping about in the undergrowth and not seen.
Squirrel Nutkin enjoying some seed before cadging some monkey nuts off me.
Couple of Cormorants on the top mill pond.
So I've been lucky this week really, down the Vale 3 times this week and missed the rain each time, can't be bad.
Whilst at Morrisons bought Alfie some of this, it's usually for kids lunch boxes but just the right size for tortoises too.
They have different type's too.
Think I'll have to cut his testosterone down, he's fancying this model one I think, he has put on 13 grams this week so I must be doing something right.
Males are smaller than females.
This weeks bargains from Amazon were these cable labels, you know when you've got loads of cables in a tower system they are real easy to mark them!.
You get 30 for £3.99 well worth the money to me, sorting out all my cables.
I also bought this Cordless glue gun, don't need it at the moment but you never know when it will come in useful, and it was 60% off, I do love a bargain!.
So a good week to round off the year for me.
