Bird silhouette sticker, designed to cut down the number of birds flying into the conservatory window. Seems to work, no casualties recently, as far as we know. 

Strange day of sunshine, blue skies, dark clouds and rain. 

Gordon has gone with a friend to the cricket at Chester-le-Street. They both had with them every kind of weather clothes - more like they were setting off to climb a mountain in the middle of winter than going to watch a cricket match. Oh dear - just looked and they have had rain. Hope they got something to watch.
