No Egrets

 We had a gentle start to the day. Diane had bought some twisty, shiny mobiles and installed them in the garden to try and discourage the local squadron of pigeon command from practising their various manoeuvres in our garden. In the early morning sunshine, the kitchen was illuminated with flashes of sunlight as the mobile rotated. It was like having glitter balls in the garden without the prancing and dancing.

Once we started on the day, I finished setting up some missing channels on the new TV service. Di headed out to the garden. She had purchased two ornamental cranes, storks, or maybe egrets which are destined for the back garden. Firstly, however, they needed to be varnished so that they wouldn't rust like the existing one that is being replaced. While she did the varnishing I removed the old egret after extracting the huge anchors that had held it steady in the coastal winds.

We had Kindle time this afternoon before I prepared dinner.
