Also a Newt: I fell asleep on the sofa as I came in just before 7 tonight... I have only just woken up... I fall asleep on the sofa a lot, but never at this sort of time or for this long. I was feeling ever so slightly unwell, could not put my finger on it, so quickly lay down... I ralise I have just slept for 5 houts... ekkk, probably don't sleep now!

Got up to discover the Sparrowhawk had returned for breakfast. A pile of feathers on the lawn and this time it didn't take what it couldn't manage away with it. The remains are under a large pot at the moment because I can't face dealing with it and I don't want the dog to bring it in.

I do wonder if they were a pair of pigeons and perhaps nesting somewhere. Twice in the space of a little over 12 hours though is still a newt I guess but an even more gruesome one than yesterday's. I hope the neighbours don't look out of their windows and just see the evidence and say to each other 'we've always said that dog was nasty....' :-o

It's not as if we are in the middle of the countryside - we are in a village and 'relatively' rural in that you can be out across fields and so on within about half a mile of our house but we are still on quite a big development of houses with gardens all backing on to each other.

It’s very much a newt, Baroness, and I reckon has a lot to do with it being spring.

Every new jab is a triumph star

Wow to have one kill in your garden is (I’d have thought) rate 2 in 12hrs is madness! Don’t envy the clean up

I'm jingling like a good 'un this morning - second newt of the day already - I've just registered to vote at our new address. I didn't want to miss out being able to vote in the council elections on 6 May (our ward will be an interesting one for tactical voting) so I filled in the form this morning (having subsequently checked it would seem I have about another month to get on the register but no time like the present!)

Morning! We have a fire engine in the mews, that’s a newt! I think the woman over the way locked herself out with her baby indoors!
My newt yesterday was using a new programm on my watch. I ran 8 x 0.25 miles within brisk walking for 3.33 miles, longest this year.

No newt here other than the way I felt last night I decided to take strong anti-viral herbal medicine last night. I felt I was coming down with something.
Slept like a log till 9 am, occasionally waking bathed in sweat. I am not going for a run/walk this morning and I will take more of the anti-virals.
Then take it easy at my client later, after getting quotes for turf and shrubs for a project...

About This Thread

starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
