Gallinipper is Dictionary.com’s word of the day –
|
Gallinippers were very much in evidence yesterday at the Osprey Watch in Kielder Forest, Northumberland. Fortunately there is excellent live camera coverage from the two nests inside the café at Kielder Castle, so we were able to escape for a bit to watch the chicks being fed fish while filling ourselves up with delicious home-made goodies. My veg and lentil soup was superb, with a fresh brown roll.
Today was devoted to bits of my body: hearing test, eye test and new glasses in the morning. The hearing aids will have to wait until I’m back in France, as they wanted a few weeks to fit and supervise early wearing.
Tomorrow: Durham, to meet Tilly about which no doubt there will be the odd (very odd) picture or two later. Wednesday: home to France.

One nice thing about the desert is the rarity of mosquitoes. (Reno is high desert, Palm Desert low)
They scare me now with the incidence of West Nile Fever since my immune system is so poor thanks to my kidney transplant meds. Enjoy your time with Tilly and safe traveling, happy home-coming!
