What a morning

I was up at three-thirty this morning and it was bright for that time of day. By half past four the sun had been up for twenty minutes and it was beautiful, blue sky and the sun beaming down.

Now it's quarter to six, I'll grab a quick breakfast and top up my tan I think. When you get weather like this you have to take advantage of it up here in Shetland, know what I mean :))

They're getting to know all about it

The robins are getting to know where the food is and they are also getting used to me having a cup of coffee in the living room as well - and all so quickly too.

Now, they take no notice of me, they just get stuck in, scaring away the little sparrows as they go about their breakfast, lunch or tea.

I'm surprised too. Along with this feeder I bought winter food, expecting it to arrive after the summer stuff. It really doesn't seem to have mattered to them though. Having said that though, when the summer order does arrive it will be put away for a month or so. Timing of the seasons here in Shetland does run a bit late, in fact it runs a bit confused at times so I'll be a bit more careful in the future.

In fact, I may make sure that both are out at the same time and then we'll perhaps find out whether it's winter or summer. A bit of confusion here I think. Where have Spring and Autumn gone. They might be around for a short spell, I suppose ;))

It's only eleven in the morning and I'm blooming starving. It's a bit ridiculous as I've already had a decent breakfast.

I'm not going to fight any longer though. Lunch will be kipper, carrot and potatoes and it'll taste great. No point chapping on the door in hope as there's only one fish that I'll admit to.

The problem is that I'll end up having dinner at about two-thirty in the afternoon.

Hope that you all enjoy your morning coffee - and please don't tell me that you're starving too.

Wonder if Alex likes kippers, should have thought about that before I only put the one in the pot :(
