Thoughts from the Shower #9

I've got a pheasant at the bottom of my garden (reminds me of a song that I used to sing to my kids when they were younger -  'There's a worm at the bottom of my garden . . . '!) it likes roosting in the Elder tree and there are two robins that are trying to claim the trampoline as their territory - all makes for interesting viewing out of my lounge window!
