Things That Gladden The Heart

I'm not really a fan of vandalism, but this made me smile.

The Inverness Shinty Academy sign having the N in shinty painted out and replaced with an extra T... made me smile anyway, will take my phone tomorrow and get a pic;)
 
Standing by the patio doors with a cuppa watching blue tits, great tits, goldfinches, pied wagtails, chaffinches and a robin all enjoying the food in the feeders in our two trees. Assuming the blue tits in particular must have young as they were back and forth for ages.

We get blue tits, great tits, coal tits, the odd willow tit, but my favourites are the long tailed tits. Lovely pink plumage, and they usually come in groups of six to eight.

Watching the birds feeding is much more entertaining than a lot of the tv at the moment.

Are we having a "bird off" 😁
We have red kites dive bombing our garden most days, absolutely sublime animals they are, so smooth but powerful.
One grabbed something from the garden right in front of the kitchen window as I was at the sink, incredible sight, I swear it looked me right in the eyes as it swooped around.
 
Rupert looking over the garden wall the same way Baldrick did, all you can see are the eyes and top of the head. Baldrick sat for hours looking over the wall like this
 
Daughter talking about coming out on the course for some holes tonight, first time in over a decade or more at a guess. Be great to see her back out there.

Happy days.
 
HID being nominated for an award at her work. She has not been so happy and so engaged in any job for well over a decade, perhaps nearer 15 years and she's a different person. It is so good to see her being the real her again after years of depression (including self harm) and working too hard for little thanks or return in other jobs. Long may she grow and flourish in this role

Worked out she hadn't been out with me since 2005.

Magically evening last night finished just after 8pm 9 holes, it was great to see her out their. She must have hit at least half a dozen irons shots in the air. She even out drove the wife a couple of times with mishit drivers #potentiallongdrivernot:ROFLMAO:

I am still buzzing this morning over it, hope she keeps coming.
