Well, it’s been unusually quiet here in Camp Chandler, Paul has had the cold from hell for the past 2 – 3 weeks and we didn’t manage to join the chums in Blairgowrie for the annual Folk Club getaway weekend, which was very disappointing but sometimes you just have to acknowledge when it would be a step too far to carry on.\u00a0 I had a quiet birthday, although we dad manage a trip to ASDA for more cough medicine.\u00a0 Thank you all for the lovely cards.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day and we went along to Aberdour beach with Sarah and Daniel.\u00a0 Saw eider duck there for the first time I can recall, among the mallard, lesser black backed and herring gulls.<\/p>\n

I am reading this <\/a>just now, it’s fascinating.\u00a0 And listening to this. <\/a>More birdy rock ‘n’ roll, folkier but some tracks produced by Craig Potter who may or may not be the guy from Elbow.\u00a0 A bonxie is a great skua in Shetland.\u00a0 All these years I thought it meant a puffin.\u00a0 Tammy noddie.<\/p>\n
