Tangential Thread

Yesterday’s blog mentioned minds going tangentially, Facebook threads do too.

This time last year things were beginning to open up slightly.

2nd Jab done at 1.30 this afternoon.
First tadpoles out today, teenytiny things, so some of the frogspawn survived even though it vanished.
There was also a small tortoishell butterfly in the garden - Teddycat ate it!
Cowslip, violets and grape hyacinth all flowering next to the drive.
Emile has used up all his owed holidays and Ferretfingers will start going out with him again on Thursday 1st April, then every Thursday and Friday from 8th.
Thunderthighs to start going back into college on Monday 19th.
Miss Doozer  OH TEDDY??!!
Bentonbag  And there have been some very suspicious looking grey feathers decorating the lawn for the past couple of days - it looks as if a pigeon has had a lucky escape.
Miss Doozer  He's welcome to the woodpigeons.  They just sit on the birdtable being fat and annoying and there's no room for anything else.  Sometimes they're not even eating, they're just sat there like piffy on a toadstool... I'm all for contemplating your surroundings, but can't they do it somewhere that isn't the bird table?
Bentonbag   At least he's not leaving them on your back doorstep.
This one chose our garden bench last July
Miss Doozer Contemplating it's navel
Bentonbag  I don't think birds have navels.
Drummerman Just seabirds...
Bentonbag  Eh?
Drummerman Naval?
Bentonbag  The one with an Ee is the bellybutton the one with an Eh? is seamen. McChurch can explain.
McChurch  Ah,but will he?
