Aaaaawwwww!
This morning (before 7.00) I let the cats out and went off to open up the chickens. The cats ran straight into the greenhouse and found a female blackbird (they're brown oddly enough) and began to toy with it as cats are wont to do. I chased the cats away and attempted to retrieve the bird. After some faffing about involving both fur and feathers I managed to pick the tiny bird up in my hand (holding down the wings firmly and with the beak facing away from me). She squawked as did her mate - he was nearby sending off the alarm to the resident avian population. I put her on top of a high fence post (well over 6ft), she shook herself and then.....flew off.

For the next hour or so I had the biggest grin on my face possible.

So, today tell us what has made you smile.

Open up the chickens?
Eatin' time already?

It's still early though.

The only things that make me smile nowadays are my nephew and the family dog.

This morning I smiled
When my girlfriend reminded me that I was seeing a load of strange people from the internet on Friday, and that I was going to spend the week with her on Sunday.

A friend of mine phoned me this morning telling me how good her weekend was.

She's been suffering from pretty bad depression recently, and it was nice to hear how she managed to have a good weekend, without drinking, and doing very little. She just either relaxed, or saw her family.
