What's Short And Has White Things In?


This post.


Thursday afternoon I woke up to the sight of snow.


SNOOOOWW!!!!!


Ahem.


After driving home that morning listening to the world and their Aunty Ethel going on about the snow on the radio, through sheets of very cold but definitely liquid rain, this was quite welcome. It didn't settle much at all [corners of plant pots, that sort of thing], which is probably also good.



Wednesday morning saw me not driving home after work, but instead heading over to Brixham for Glonk II - The Revenge. Standing around in sideways drizzle for an hour wasn't the ideal way to spend time that should have involved sleep, but fortunately, a Big White Thingy decided to make an appearence;

1w Glaucous Gull


Actually a cracking bird - for the few minutes it sat sort of still in view. It was very mobile around the Fish Market area, frequently changing position even when not sallying down after bits. A couple of other brave souls were also there and fortunately we all connected with good views. [[I get any kind of picture means it was sat nice and close for a couple of minutes at least!]]




Weekend antics to follow. There may be more schnoooow, and possibly even a picture thereof. Consider yourselves duly warned...
