LONG-TAILED TIT

A couple of these little beauties landed near me while I was out walking. I love them. It was colder than it looked out, but that might be because I decided to go without a hat and gloves today.

I had a chat with Mum who was having a slight grumble about the "young girls" from the agency who are coming to see her safely to bed at night, and whether they'll keep her keycode and details confidential. "One of them is only 22." I reminded her that when she was 22 she was a staff nurse, married and expecting me, and that she was very responsible and could be trusted with her patients' confidentiality, as can the agency carers. She said she'd forgotten that. We'll probably have the same conversation next time we speak, though.
