I'm away birding, Patricia is sleeping cos she's on night shift, Rachel's at cheerleading and Louise is at horse riding.
It's the 1st Bank Holiday Monday in May and we really should spend it as a family ! Indeed we nearly achieved it today. All except Louise, who is studying for her exams, went on the Dysfunctional Family Day outing to Callander where the 3 of us intended to do some hill walking.
Sandwiches were packed and flasks were filled and we set off. Round about the time we crossed the Kingston Bridge I announced that I had forgotten to bring the rucksack. This meant that we would have to climb the hills carrying our Sainsbury polythene bags strapped to our wrists looking for all the world like we are on some kind of school kids trip out. I was not prepared to be risk the ridicule from 'serious' walkers so the plan gets changes for the David Marshall Lodge where we can leave the sandwiches and flasks in the car and do a "wee circular stroll" and sit at a picnic table and eat our sandwiches and not look like 3 prats.
Whilst not looking like a prat I am able to add Garden Warbler, Wood Warbler & Tree Pipit to my year list.
