So, lots of things happening - the local elections, the first referendum I've ever voted for, the continuing dry, hot, sunny weather ... the fact that I messed up at work on Friday and that I cycled 10 miles (5 each way) to a wine tasting that evening and somehow forgot all about it ;)
The cats have caught 3 baby birdies now; two died before I could rescue them and the third wasn't claimed by its parents so I let it go on the local common. It won't survive, but it's better for it to die quietly than be mauled to death by a predator. Poor little things. I actually shut the cats in the house all morning on Friday to give the baby bird a chance to get away; by the time I came home at lunchtime, the bird had vanished and the cats were desperate to get out into the garden. I let them out and within 5 minutes they'd found the baby bird again ... it hadn't gone, it was just hiding, so I rescued it again and let it go on the common land.
This is the one thing I don't like about cats. My two are very sweet natured, cuddly, put up with no end of mauling and carrying around, they come running to meet us when we come home and follow us down the road if we go out on foot. But they are monsters when it comes to baby birdies.
Anyway, tis exercise time - kettlebells and stretches - I was doing the kettlebells without the stretches, but my muscles were getting so tight that when I had a whole body massage just after Christmas, it was AGONY! The masseuse said I needed to stretch after exercise, so I started up again. I'd given it up because it added another 10 mins on to my exercise time, which may not sound like much, but it made quite a difference to how long I needed to set aside for exercising.
