Pre Christmas Drivel.

Exercises done.  Tick.  Prom.  Tick.

It being Sunday, which is dog walking day, so not a lot going on bird wise.  Tide on its way out.  I walked and stopped to breathe.  Quite pleasant though cold, but then it is December.  No wind.  Bit annoyed there was a Police Car in one of the disabled spaces, with plenty vacant spaces around.

The Golden Horn, the beacon at the entrance to the harbour.

Now this is a Common Gull.  When you see Gulls massed in a field they are usually Common Gulls.  This one was on the beach.  Smaller than a Herring Gull.  Eye colour different, and legs, pale grey.  Pointy beak.  First one I have seen and snapped.

Now all the boats are into the harbour for Christmas.

All decorated and lit up.

The last couple of nights we have had this wee cat appear at the dining room patio door.

As you can see from the bowl we have fed her.  I have put her onto facebook to see if she is having us on and has a home or not!  She certainly cleans the bowl.

We seem to be getting sorted re the hedge etc.  We will be contacting our tree man to see what he advises.  Thoughts are as the roots would be massive to dig up to chainsaw the bushes off at ground level.  We then intend to knock the walls down in front of the house, as they have also been damaged over the years and they fall on someone - bad.  Then a simple low fence.  Inside which will be a Beech hedge.  After Christmas......

The DP has been busy in the kitchen.  Mince Pies, Puddings etc.  He got so far in front of himself we had our evening meal an hour earlier than usual!  But that meant we could watch a taped Midsomer Murders all the way through!!  

The Lion progresses - having a bad hair day.

Have a good Christmas everyone, this is for those who will close down for Christmas.  I will be probably be back tomorrow with some more drivel.
