I have experienced many fantastic wildlife sights over the past few weeks, including; a buzzard hunting pigeons, a close up of a dragonfly (they are so fascinating!), bats hawking for insects at dusk, a brief (very brief) glimpse of a shrew, two robins engaging in an impressive aerial battle and a group of angry moorhens seeing off a swan.
THE BAD:
My birthday is coming up.
This is the first birthday since dad's death. Birthdays and Christmas were the two times of year that contact always happened, no matter what. This time, however, there will be no card in the mail, no text on the mobile, no cheery email.
Nothing.
No dad.
...That is all.
THE GOOD (AGAIN):
A trip to the Sea Life centre and picnic for mother and me has been planned to celebrate my birthday. And also because it is my birthday, I am fairly confident that the day before that at our fortnightly Fish n' Chips n' Games Gala, The Grandpapa will allow me to postpone his turn and pick my favourite things to play.
This coming weekend will be very enjoyable indeed.
