I have a pair of blackbirds who like to sit on my windowsill and chuck angrily. Sometimes it's at a cat. Sometimes it's because they're out of suet.

I don't have the brain needed to set up a camera to actually watch them eat, so it's just a blur of wings and then a noise unless I'm stood up, but after a full year they're less bothered about the fact that I'm around and stood up. I can walk past and a blackbird is eating.

The magpies and sparrows are still extremely shy.


Ground elder is a delicious spring salad that is currently in season, and we certainly have a lot of it. Less than there would be if I didn't cut it back hard and on a regular basis.

I have a PIP refusal I'm supposed to be going through to say what's wrong with the assessment for the appeal and it's a real struggle, and I have a mental health appointment in July.

I like watching the plants in the garden building up to their summer display, even if I only get out there a few days a week. And then not having the heating come on is great too.

If you're in my timeline, it's because I think you're great, so this is your reminder that you are, in fact, great.

I need to reapply for PIP, and get Gary to apply too. It's pretty much guaranteed that they will turn us down and we'll have to appeal, last time I just couldn't face it.
