Sounds lovely! I am doing well. Drove to visit a friend for coffee and cakes, came home and spent 2 hours in the garden tackling brambles and ivy. I had a lovely robin for company.

Sitting down with my feet up now.

the two birds i fed were Robins. One kept calling to me to let me know it wanted food. I am a bit worried a third one hasn't been around for a few weeks... he usually flies in front of my face to make sure i don't miss him!

I love Robins. They are so gregarious. Mine was perched on the fence watching me fight with the ivy

waiting for you to disturb a tasty snacky snack for it! My one watches me taking photos as i might disturb insects... or have a bag of food (as it now knows)

I love them too, but I couldn't manage more than three, even as a main course. Too gamey

Good evening. Enjoying nibbles

They always watch you when you're up to something in their territory.

yes, the women's RR and also the para races in the morning. A deserved champion (again) in the RR.

Is this the same as ortolan? It is a delicacy in much of southern Europe. The practice is pretty cruel for the bird and I think illegal nowadays. I believe than when eating them you’re supposed to cover your head with a cloth, so god can’t see what you are doing!

I missed the paras in the morning but caught most of the road race in the afternoon. It was a thrilling last 10k and what a result!

the best won... i am a big fan of Lotte, saw her get a track gold last year. She played it brilliantly. Glad there is a worthy champion for another year.

Hopefully the men's race will have a great winner.

I think that's different.
