I couldn't be bothered to lug the gear out. It was too cold for me. I just thought we'd have a quick look for it since it was clear. It is supposed to naked eye visible now.
No snow forecast here thank goodness, but a windchill of -11 is putting me off doing any more comet/meteor hunting!

Fed the birds this morning then went in to make coffee and watch them. Not a bird in sight, except for one on the apple tree. I thought at first it was a pigeon but then I put my glasses on and realised it was a sparrow hawk! No wonder all the little blighters had scarpered.

Spotted the tail of a Sparrow Hawk whilst it sat on a telegraph wire with it’s back to me. I congratulated myself for noticing the bird as I normally fail to see the blooming obvious things around me.
Before flying off the bird turned side on to confirm that it was, in fact, a pigeon. No wonder the flock of little birds in the nearby trees weren’t bothered. Sigh.

In Tunisia a few years ago I watched a hawk raiding house martin nests on the hotel facade; assuming it was an African “first” I poured through the guide book only to conclude it was a kestrel.

We have a sparrowhawk that raids the bird table nextdoor.
The blighter never sits still long enough to get a photo
Sunday TV isn't my thing so it's a movie on Netflix and beer...

Lucky you, our tv is on continuous Murdoch Mysteries. Which is why I am doing this.

Do have red wine.

The Apprentice is on. So are my headphones. Whilst Mrs LTL is watching I am listening to The Cult and being here. I have forgotten just how good they are.
Hot spicy apple juice for me tonight. There's a pot of it on the hob augmented with slices of orange and lime.

The QI repeat was worth a laugh. So it MOTD2 - Liverpool 3 Man U 1 always good for a laugh round here.
DH is from Oldam and as well as Latics he is a Man U man. I sort of follow Liverpool after going to see them back in teh day with an Scouse ex boyfriend.
Off to bed now.

Enjoyed the Liv-Utd game, good to see a positive result after so many boring draws.

Car turbo finally gave up the ghost.. I'm getting a wooooooo sound at every blip of the throttle.
I thought I'd insure my dads old car but before that left the driveway a coil spring broke. Now I'm all out of cars
