Brew 5,409 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Why do you think it OK to make disparaging remarks about others interests? You know what the contents are so why look if you're not interested. If there are things you have read and don't don't agree with, post it there not in the general forum. What good does sniping from the sidelines do? I think some of the music posted here is truly awful... but I keep my opinions to myself. If that's what some like fine and me whinging and whining about it adds nothing useful or interesting. Didn't someone a while back post something about live and let live? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Nowt to do with politics, But as its How's your day, thought I would relate....Today I is sitting on me Patio, hand feeding a bloody HERON !!

Brew 5,409 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 On a call out one night I came across what I thought was a garden ornament some little devil had nicked and stuck in the middle of the road. I got right up to it intending to move it when it took a stab at me. Frightened the life out of me, it was a real Heron and as you say BK they have some beak on 'em 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 The big tourist trip boats were passing by our patio and people were looking and pointing over at us. Like an idiot, I waved back before it dawned on me that they were admiring the Heron. It occurred then that sadly, some folk can go all their lives and never see an Heron. But there was me feeding one. Only had a quick glimpse of the Otter this year though. The little Bugger is pinching somebody else's fish. B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,014 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Beautiful birds, but I admit to make nasty comments to them when they visit my pond, I sometimes remind them, never politely , that it is not a restaurant. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could remember walking down a wide paved road to the bullring and admiring the statues. You’ve jogged my memory, Ann, That is, if we’re right! Correct Ann and AfferGorrit.  We had a really fabulous day up in Ronda on Tuesday.  The intention was to catch a little train from San Roque to Ronda but when we arrived at the station we were told that the heavy rain they’ve had down there recently had damaged the railway line and although it’s been repaired it hasn’t been ‘signed off’ by the authority so isn’t open again yet. We drove up to Ronda from there and decided we’d go on a little tourist train around the town.  That train isn’t running any more, something to do with ‘politics’!  We weren’t having a good train day.  Instead we had a tour in a horse-drawn carriage which was very enjoyable.  Went into the bull-ring museum, bit of lunch in the Parador Hotel overlooking the deep gorge and then drove back the shorter way down to the coast to our friends place.  We’ve had a good trip, plenty of eating, drinking and relaxing in warm sunshine.  Marbella Old Town looked fantastic last night with beautifully decorated houses and restaurants on May Day.  Shame we’ve come back to grey skies and cool weather!  5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
