Lazy birds

A lovely day out yesterday with Elder Son and family at the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Not a lot to be seen flower-wise but we very much enjoyed the flying display at the British Birds of Prey Centre, based there.

The only brief clip - which came from Elder Son - worth showing.

Did you know that eagles are lazy birds? A research program has shown that they spend, on average, only seventeen minutes out of every twenty-four hours flying. But they can see a rabbit two miles away - I suppose then they decide if they can be bothered to go and catch it.






This morning we went to watch GrandSon1 play football. We got there in spite of a slight communication problem. Elder Son wrote "At Daniel James School." That's not far, I said to Husband.

But that was because I read Daniel James but thought Dillwyn Llewellyn. DJ was actually about twice as far. And, incidentally what I thought was Dillwyn Llewellyn School is Dylan Thomas School.

Husband meanwhile read the message as Daniel and Jamie (the grandsons' names) and was also confused.

But here's my new t-shirt.

Im impressed that you got to the game after the name mixup!
I think animals rest more than we know. We only see them in a flurry of activity. Except I do see bees sleeping in flowers now and then, very nice sight, like a picture book.

You're looking very chic!

So, y'all took the scenic drive to the ball field - right? That is an interesting looking flower - do you know what it is?
