Due to factors (sadly not good ones like going to the pub each night), I haven’t cooked a proper meal for a week. There’s something therapeutic about cooking risotto.

I still have that Liverpool shirt.

Last day at RSPB Arne this year. Great to watch a pair of marsh harriers in flight, and then a white-tailed sea eagle (not pictured) popped by for a couple of minutes. Also spotted avocet, black-tailed godwit, curlew, great crested grebe, grey heron, oystercatcher, redshank and shelduck. #birds 🪶

I did indeed see Martha Reeves and the Vandellas in a field in Leicestershire, just off the A6...

Bonus trip to see friends today which meant spending time with my favourite free dog, Cassie!

Thanks Daryll, I’ll add those to my next post!

Another bird watching trip to Arne today. Highlight was a marsh harrier swooping down.

A sunny afternoon at RSPB Arne (as seen on TV). Saw cormorant, curlew, teal, little egrets, redshank, oystercatchers, stonechat a grey heron and some hairy piglets...

For the 33rd year in a row, I’ve survived the first week of a University academic year. Time for a holiday. Prost!
