Great weather for flying kites, but a disaster for birds 🐦 🐦‍⬛ 😢

We've had wild winds up here on the west coast of Scotland, I've been watching a pair of magpies carefully construct a decent sized nest, only for the winds to tear it apart, I'm hoping they'll come back and repair it, and lay a clutch of eggs in the coming weeks, I always throw my bits of food out of the window, and I avoid throwing bread out, it's not good for a bird to digest this, yes even bird's should have a well balanced diet 😉 I think we take nature for granted, wishing you all a great Saturday evening, wherever you are 🤗

Weather not to bad here in Wales at the moment, we ve had some heavy rain but seems to have stopped now, hope storm Kathleen has missed us 🫰

Had a dose of the runs💩 for last week, last time big 'winds' in Northern Ireland, next door neighbour had shed roof, blown off, this morning neighbour other side of road, had fence blown down, just waiting for his greenhouse to go🥴 dashed back into bed head under pillow..... sun actually shinning outside, mr. do it yourself had repaired his fence😀 Not looking forward to next big 'winds' I should be next, hopefully not🤞

Essentially last seven years been through that many "diets" practically lost faith in them, ok have diabetes 2, but when so called diabetes "expert" changed my 'medication' , led to dramatic side effects, as usual new face cleared it up🙃 looking through between the lines, and basic common sense advice from good friends on HU, I usually come through, a simple basic diet, but SOMETIMES my "one off" cadaver likes to prove me wrong🤬🤫

[Midori in reply to Adlon57]

My son has Type2, and Diabetic Retinopathy as well. Still trying to get his diet to a place he's comfortable with. getting doctor's appointments, is impossible here!

Cheers, Midori

[Adlon57 in reply to Midori]

You want a appointment here, 9-12am Monday and Tuesday, to get a GP, even then GP 'grills' you via the phone, then you find specific GP is on holiday or 'unavailable' until next week🙄💀😤🤬

[Midori in reply to Adlon57]

I haven't been able to get an appointment for 4 Years!

Cheers, Midori

I've been lucky🙄 we got a new health centre in Feb 2022, that's why they are so 'fast'🤫😴😴🥱

[Adlon57]

Ah well Twinkly I probably do have IBS that many change of diets, especially in last four years diabetes 2, and misdiagnosed🤗 Prostate Cancer, losing of weight, essentially had to form my own "diets" in that time, with help of HU friends, bound to be a slip 💩 up somewhere! [does not help the temper either🤫🙄]

The gales and winds have been very severe down South to, it really makes me nervous. I also feed the birds daily, i love them all even though we get a lot of greedy gulls .

[Cb1963 in reply to secrets22]

Yes, the seagulls have a " healthy " appetite 🤣 but you've got to admire they're quite impressive birds to look at, we have a big community garden so when I throw scraps out I scatter the food in different directions to try and let the smaller birds get a chance to grab a bit of food , I even cut up bits of bacon rind up, I enjoy watching the magpies as they sometimes bury the food for a later time, even the crow's get bullied by the seagulls, it's different during the winter the seagulls tend to " paddle " for worm's as perhaps they aren't quite ready for mating, and they don't have such a big appetite, they've adapted to living around the chimney pots and nest anywhere, and once the chick's are roaming around I have to keep close to the building otherwise they will try to attack you, you have to keep your wit's around you, and of course they make a heck of a racket with their screeching noise 🫣

[Adlon57]

He is very like my sister's cat 'Joe' same colour, a real scrapper, but very soppy , especially with me, aged 14🐈

Nature, natural beauty. I respect and appreciate it, soothes my mind when I am often troubled with human problems. Take care of yourself <3
