What's mildly amusing you today?

[ZenGum]

indeed - teenage lads up to relatively harmless hijinks which the police handled with common sense. The world is not completely insane.

[classicman]

What??? They should have both been handcuffed and committed.

[TheMercenary]

Silly, but I can admit to being handcuffed as a teen for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They let me go without charges.

It's half-term here, so I knew that I would be the object of some interest in town today. Now I am used to the pre-schoolers saying, without artifice, "Mummy! That lady has pink hair!" and the older schoolkids complimenting me (of course) but I had a new one today.

Young lad said as I passed, "Mum, is that a wig?"
Of course he may have been speaking about someone else with an obvious syrup on the other side of Marks & Spencers... but I'm pretty sure it was about me.

Made me smile anyway.

apparently we have a box of deals upstairs from 2007 that contains deals with last names ranging from DIL-DO

We just had about 2 days worth of mini flocks of Robin's migrate through. I just thought I would let you all who live in the snow that the birds indicate spring is just around the corner.

[xoxoxoBruce]

That's because monster chased them out of Florida with all that inverted roller coaster screaming.

It's sunny and 57 degrees here.

There was a huge flight of Canada geese go buy. I see but mostly hear ducks and geese everyday but this was an enormous group. They darkened the horizon.

Oh, yeah. I saw a big flock of Robins hopping around the snowdrifts in a neighbor's yard. I think they just winter here. Too much trouble to fly south. Lazy little bastards.

We have frogs and they are very happy tonight. lol

I had forgotten how many frogs were out this way at night. I remember as a kid it was quite a racket. In that respect along with the geese and ducks it still feels country. Tonight this one frog has found a partner. The tone and the timber are different. I imagine they sound happy and that amuses me.

We love the sound of the frogs, they have really kicked up in the last 2 weeks, but now now because we are back into a night time cold snap with daily highs in the high 50's. But when they are really chirping the sounds is deafening. Lovely.
