AM PM

 The strangeness with the weather continued with 1.5 inches of rain from 6pm to 6am and when I was finally persuaded outside by the hungry critters calling for room service the hills surrounding us were a whiter shade of pale. Its not the first time its snowed in May in the UK, I know cos I was there 20 years ago on the sunny slopes of Plynlimon looking at the source of the river Wye and river Severn, we camped out and woke to a fresh covering of the white stuff.
And it still rained as I fed the critters. Thoughts of bike rides around today's appointments were changed quicker than my foul weather gear before breakfast and so Miranda was mode of transport for the day. But by going home time it was a different world, the sky was blue, the sun shone, the birds sang and all was well, for s few hours at least. On the subject of birds the aviary was attacked today by a Sparrow Hawk who was looking for an easy take away. Thankfully the wire held under its onslaught but if it comes back with bolt cutters things might be different.
