Magpies or seagulls should not wear boots!

The bedroom used by the Silver Vixen and Gorse Fox is in the loft of their bungalow (a conversion performed by a previous owner). This has advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is immensely cozy, and very large. On the minus side, however, it is noisy when the storms rattle along the coast... and when magpies or seagulls wearing hobnailed boots decide to hold races back and forth along the ridge tiles. This morning, these avian olympians were evidently holding the qualifying heats for a the 10,000 metres... and decided that they wanted the Gorse Fox to spectate. (Now, where's that H5N1?)

Though bright, flurries of snow scud across the south coast. The Silver Vixen has gone to meet up with Urban Cub to spend a day on chores and preparations related to the wedding.

The Gorse Fox sits at his desk carving out new contractual masterpieces for the trolls to ruin. This morning's call with Esteemed Client presages a flurry of new challenges. No doubt this will clarify over the next week.
