Dogs, birds, and food.

Good evening. It was doggy heaven at the Park on Sunday. Paws in the Park is an annual event. It's a bit like a mini Crufts only it's outdoors. There are competitions, agility tests, search and rescue demonstrations, and plenty of doggy related stalls selling just about everything for our canine friends. 

Look what I saw when I opened the curtains to the back window overlooking the garden. I never knew that ducks rest on top of a six foot hedge. I always trim it so it doesn't grow any higher. It makes a nice landing platform for them. I wonder if they sit up there to keep out of the way of the cats. 

I took this photo through my front window this afternoon. My friend Barry up the road has one of those massive feather duster bushes in his front garden. He doesn't like it so I always take my secateurs and remove a dozen or so of the dusters before he chops it down. Then I 'plant' them in my own hedges in the front garden. The birds come down and gather the fluffy feathers for their nest building. I leave them there until they are all plucked to bits. 

I am craving omelettes at the moment. This one has a cheese and onion roll cut into four pieces, and a handful of butter beans. I beat one egg in a bowl and add a splash of milk, with seasonings and spices. Transfer everything into a small pan, and finish it off under the grill.It was blooming deeeelishus. I like the way you can put anything into an omelette. Another one I made after this had steamed vegetables in it, left over from the day before. Quite a substantial meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 

It's been very windy today. Coffee Morning was a hoot. I did a biggish shop at Aldi this afternoon. Boring but it had to be done. 

I'm not sure what I will be doing over the Bank Holiday weekend. Possibly stay here if the weather is cold and miserable. Everywhere is bound to be busy, there are lots of events on. The roads will be busy with extra traffic. Not much fun sitting in a traffic jam. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
