Hey, Rusty!
I hadn't heard of "The Giraffe" either, but I have now discovered that there is one in Bromley!
Under our noses, so to speak!
And we didn't even know of it existence or whereabouts.
We shall have to investigate - we may even eat there one day!
I like trying out new places!
My picture from the loch is still partially obscured...but not all the time; it is a little better than it was .
I haven't seen Laddie today?
I have just finished watching tonight's episode of "Broadchurch" - the serial I am following on Monday nights.
The plot is very confusing...I have no idea who is guilty.......
And they say that members of the cast do not know either!
Intriguing.......

Hello, Elle!
Your post number is a palindrome?
My picture is not obscured in any way.
So, I am wondering what is wrong with your picture?
There was some buffering, I think it is called, in computerspeak, on my picture..
But all is fine now. Picture perfect.
Laddie would be perched on a nearby branch, or chasing intruders away, perhaps.
He would have been gainfully employed!

Good Morning rusty
I still haven't found enough time to watch the Mighty Shannon but hopefully today I will . Meanwhile, I have just signed a petition which Colin S-J has posted, to stop a new law which is proposed by the TD to allow the burning of vegetation and cutting of hedgerows in Ireland. We have lost enough wild habitats already and several species near to extinction. :(

Good morning, Rusty!
Another glorious day here and this time....wait for it....it is actually warm (er)!!
You would be able to go out in your shirt sleeves, I am sure!
Altho we Southerners (not that I am one "at heart") being more "nesh" will still be wearing our fleeces!
Well spotted that my last post number was a palindrome!
I hadn't noticed that!
I am home from the park a little earlier than usual this morning... a friend very kindly came to collect me (and the dog) and also he brought me home, as the car is with Chris today for its service and MOT.
Are you meeting up with Miss O today?
You mentioned possibly learning more on Tuesday about her future teaching plans?
It sounds as though it would be ideal if she were to take a post at one of the schools where she did her teacher training?

Good morning, Jazzgirl.
Well done, Colin and you!
I fully agree about wildlife habitat.
I think you will like The Mighty Shannon.
I am still mesmerised by the starlings!
I'll say no more lest I spoil it for you!

Good morning, Elle!
Oh no! Back to dreichness here!
Had an anorak on earlier!
I am not sure if there are such things as "numerical palindromes"?
Well, the plan was for Miss O to come and see me this afternoon, but I think she has a degree in "scattyheadedness", and could well forget all about it!
I hope not.
She has been at two high schools on placement and both would like her permanently.
She has another placement in May at one of those schools, too.
She likes them both, a lot.
So, we shall see.
Good luck with the MOT!

I am guessing the starlings will be in a "murmuration" which is an awesome spectacle. There are some happening every evening at Studland (just across the harbour from Poole)
I will have to watch T.M.S. this evening. as I am off out now until late afternoon. Have a good day all

Hi, Rusty!
Well, I'm sorry about your weather!
I guess that here we have been/ are being / unusually fortunate this Winter cum Spring.
It has been extremely cold, but we have had a lot of blue skies and sunshine (even if this last has been watery!)
I am concentrating (hard, as I'm finding it difficult!) on the Times 15 x15 right now....
As I didn't get chance to attempt any crossword at all yesterday, I decided today to prioritise, and do them first!
I am three-quarters way through....so not doing too badly......only one clue that I cannot parse so far.......
I shall say nothing more until I know you have finished your own puzzle!

Hello, Elle!
Just had a text from Miss O, inviting me out for lunch tomorrow!
She did not mention today!
Ah well, I am looking forward to seeing and hearing her.
I will tackle the crossword now, then head out into the gloom!


Hello, Jazzgirl!
Best murmurations I have ever seen!
Enjoy your day, too!

Hello, Elle!
Just finished my crossword.
Quite a good one today.
Apart from a homonym (if I am correct) that I disagree with!
And 4d took me ages because I was on the wrong track!
Did you get your parse?
