Things I have learned in the last few days.

1. Bad weather is great for bird watching. We've been making sure we keep our feeders topped up over the last week. We have been rewarded by tens of birds visiting our garden. We've had feeders that look like pictures in an RSPB catalogue. We've also had some rarish visitors like flocks of waxwings and fieldfare. So feed the birds! (bit more than tuppence a bag but it's worth it)

2. Get a job as a banker if you can. How can they get bonuses? A bonus has to be performance related. Some of these guys seem to have negotiated contracts where their bonuses are guaranteed!!!
