I have put the combings from his Zoom Grooming today out - in a little
basket that usually hold a suet block during the winter - for the birdies to
line their nests with.
I usually remember to do this a bit earlier, but it has been such a bad,
rainy, cold spring that I am hoping the birds who like cat fur for their
nests (the blue tits and great tits, like chickadees) have held off from
nesting. If they haven't their broods are doomed - it's so cold that there
are not many insects around yet and the birds depend on them to feed their
babies.
It was 10C today, around 50F.
Wettest April since records began in the 1830's. May is usually my
favourite month but is cold and cloudy.
I still have to put a blanket around my knees if I sit down to watch TV.
This suits Boyfriend. Now he knows it is not dangerous to sit on my knee,
he wants to do it all the time.
And he likes to knead before he lies down.

I haven't seen any young blue tits or great tits yet, I have seen young
blackbirds, thrushes, robins & goldfinches. There's a starlings nest in the
roof and I expect them to fledge any day now.
