Olives and ice cream

A few weeks ago after not eating anything for a few days I got back into the habit alternating Rice Krispies with Fairtrade organic bananas (they tasted gooooood) and now for a while it's  olives and ice cream. 

Yesteray morning there was the incredibly loud rasping call of the machine-gun-football-rattle-of-death bird in the garden. It comes around every few months, always remaining unseen, and intimidates every other bird into silence. 

It's early Saturday afternoon and I'm waiting for it to warm up a little bit and for the clouds to clear so I can go watch the sky - and maybe read a book - and the regular conversations of littler birds overheard once more.
