Weekend...

...weird weekend. It started well - will hopefully end well - but I went to bed at about 1am this morning and found myself awake around 2.30am and couldn't get back to sleep after that! I eventually gave up and got up and watched it get light, but now I'm sleepy and don't dare go to bed cos I won't sleep tonight. Ack!

I did go off for a wee

And now I'm all awake and staring out at a rainy day, so I'm even more glad I got out on Saturday! Oddly enough I didn't feel nearly as sleepy yesterday as I thought I would - but I did sleep well last night. Yeay! *g*

I had my telescopic lens with me, so I didn't have to get too close to the robin - but he was six feet or so away, I guess. *g* There was a trio with a dog walking the path behind me, and I was desperately trying to get a shot in before they caught me up! *g* Robins are winter birds over here too - in fact to me they mean Christmas and snow (I blame the Christmas cards of course) even though I see them all year around too. The American robin is very different to the English robin (oh, I just looked them up to double-check, they're not even in the same family - the American robin is a thrush and the English robin is a flycatcher (though they used to think it was a thrush!) They look very different when you see them side by side, too! *g* Like English magpies (which I've just started seeing around here alot - I wonder if they were away somewhere for the winter, or if I'm just more aware of them now because of the KJ Charles books?!) and Australian magpies...
