Sinday. Lots of evil looking clouds lurking with intent. It's going to piddle kitties and pups later. Not on the canal today, but lots of catching up to do here.
Foxy and tiggy were in as usual. Foxy while I was in the shower at about 10 last night. I'd put his supper out and got in the shower, it was gone when I got out about ten minutes later. I put tiggy's out and he was on it in a couple of minutes. Must have been hungry, again taking bits away to his lair for Mrs. tiggy.
When the Boaty came in.
No sign of the pair of foxes, but it's too cloudy for them to see anything anyway. A sense of urgency in the badgers sett, lots of bustle and hurry. A sure sign it going to rain. Quite a large number of deer on the hillside grazing, The little roes were working their way towards the trees. I think that's where they spend the day, away from humans, It's only a small patch of trees, but it's out of the way.
Seagulls patrolling, quite a lot of them, they will go back where they belong when it rains. The river is about 6 miles away from here, no distance at all for them, noisy, messy scumbags they are. It's good entertainment watching when they get too close to the rookery, I've seen the rooks kill seagulls who get too close when there are young in the nests. There are always double sentries out when the shItehawks are about. Good parents, rooks!
A lot of scurrying in the undergrowth, more than usual, so something is going on, probably preparing for the coming rain.
I've got two loads of washing to do, so it looks like the shwer room is going to be the drying room today. I was hoping to get it out on the line. I don't think that's going to happen today!
Time for a coffee.
Have a happy day everyone. :o}

Morning minty. xxx Good news re dad. You must be pleased with that. :o}
The rain isn't far off here now.
It was not as busy as I was expecting in the heritage centre yesterday. Not as many people about asd I was expecting. It did give a chance to watch some of the aircraft at RIAT making their approach runs to Fairford. The Spitfire flew right over us. I love the sound of that Merlin engine. :o}The Red Arrows flew past, looking like they were joined together, as always. A joy to watch.

Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford minty. One of the biggest in the world. Three days of big boys toys doing their stuff. From a small aircraft flying upside down 6 feet above the runway to catch as flag on it's tailfin to a B52 taking off to go on patrol. Display teams from all over the world. The Royal Navy Helicopter Display team, they did a demonstration of finding and destroying a submarine last time I was there, the Army Helicopter Display team did things with helicopters you wouldn't believe possible!
