Okay Amy - I was mowing & strimming the front lawn yesterday afternoon & when I looked down at the pile of grass, I noticed something brown & fluffy with stripes. On closer inspection, I realised I'd been raking over a beautiful baby Chaffinch that had tried to leave its nest. I was so shocked as it appeared barely alive & I called out to my Granddaughter who'd popped by after school to pick it up. She fed it with water dripping from a leaf & before long it started chirping. She realised it came from a nest in our Laurel hedge & sitting in it was its baby sibling. My Granddaughter gently placed it back in there & the Mother soon came down to feed them. It was so lovely watching their tiny little mouths opening for food. Alas, this morning I went to check on the nest & the same baby bird had died. The sibling & Mother had left. It upset me so much to think that if I hadn't decided to do the gardening & hadn't raked it up, it would also had left & flown into the the big blue sky. Long but sad saga!

Last week I called to see an elderly neighbour (93 yrs) who is a bit creaky but mentally alert...or so I thought. He was watching the snooker finals on TV and said "How do men get time off work to play snooker during the day?" Supressing a giggle, I told him that the snooker players were professionals. This must have puzzled him even more because he said, "Well how on earth do men with a good profession get time off work to play snooker?"

In a dark cemetary, two men with torches were walking home. suddenly they heard a noise. And they saw an old man kneeling by a grave chiselling away at a gravestone.
"Oh, you frightened us" one man with a torch said. "we thought you were a ghost."
"Sorry," the old man said. chiselling away furiously "but these idiots have spelt my name wrong."
