Yeah... but I walk through them without getting bit. Sadly, the midges here didn't lure Iolo.

Still not caught up yet...

To update you... umm... its very wet 

I agree great summation Rog.

Wet? Martin rocking the wetsuit again?

I couldn't get onto iplayer via Virgin last night, once my tea's ready I'll jump on through this laptop. *nods* So far behind! I haven't even seen MST3K for a couple of days.

Awww don't worry you haven't missed that much, apart from a mad badger climbing a tree trunk lol. Mostly been various animals soaked to the skin. Bill Oddie did a report on declining garden wildlife. Yes Martin did indeed rock a wetsuit but it was so rainy and and dreary you just felt sorry for him. 

Hows you be? Guess with early morning starts and work you're pretty knackered 

I'm all caught up. Sucks to be a cuttlefish eh? Poor Martin. I wish they'd let him stay in the snug studio for a change. I love that you can hear the bitterns all the time.

I'm alright... I've had a bit of a wobble, health wise, yesterday and today, but feeling much better. I rarely sleep, I can cope.

You alright?

Oh no sorry you're ill  are you ok?

I'm fine thanks. Gordon Buchanan got his curls cut off!

Anybody been watching the Blue Tit Cam? I meant to watch....but I got a new vacuum to play with instead.

Just put it on... they're still there, with the odd head popping out. 

Hope you like your new vacuum Fluffy  

Thanks, the vacuum seems to be performing well - several much cleaner floors than over the past few days!

Blue Tits still not fledged,

Those blue tits are such teases! I sat yelling "fledge!" at the laptop...

It's was only a sort of cold... made cleaning take a lot longer than it should've.

He had curls? I don't remember. I'm a little too distracted by Iolo still being in my neck of the woods... sort of.

When Iolo's on, concentration goes out the window. Heh heh.

Hope you're on the mend - colds are yuk 

Those blue tits are a bit spoilt - the amount of times they get fed!  They make much better parents than rabbits.

Well.. the blue tits have fledged. Whilst I was at work.

Yeah, I'm alright... My dad is being sent for a chest xray though, his is that bad.

Rabbits and duck are the worst parents.

I haven't picked up on any BBC sitcoms from Chris since the first episode. Maybe all the ones I was likely to recognise have been used up?

Oh no, your poor Dad  Hope he'll be ok.

The medication he's been put on seems to be helping a bit... He won't stop talking though, and that's not helping.

lol at least thats something   fingers crossed

He needs a 'Shock' suit - BB style, but on AUTO - as soon as he starts talking it gives him a wee shock!

That sounds like a marvellous idea.

Only all year round...

 lol, hope your Dad is improving 

His lungs seem to be in good working order? 

I couldn't get the Springwatch Camera footage to play (on my rubbish broadband) so I hope they show the tits fledging on Monday's show.

He is, thank you .

Hopefully, it's not the same though.

Nightingales on now... facing straight at the camera. Chicks just popped its head out from under her feathers awww. 

Good to hear 

Not sure when I'm going to see Springwatch this week. Altador Cup is on... and Iplayer has a bad relationship with other flash apps. I will try tomorrow.

You have to prioritise 

Springwatch isn't so much fun in the wet. Will keep you posted

G.O.T  

Hush, I'm still on season 1.

Will do - sorry Fluffy. 

Hope you're enjoying it so far.

It was indeed.... even when you know it's coming.

I won't spoil you, people's reactions to events are far too much fun to spoil.

Yes thanks,

However, don't worry about mentioning stuff about it, I'm reasonably good at avoiding things that look like they might reveal something significant, Also I can't expect you all not to say anything about it just because I've only just started watching it.

Nah don't worry its no prob Fluffy. Its good not to be too spoilerish in here - just in case someone wanders in. Up there^^ I was referring to a character you haven't met yet   

Watching Springwatch now - they said "Fluffy" at the beginning... 

You've done great with me  and as you're  a bookreader it must be doubly difficult.

 @ Stumpy the Fox on Springwatch  

I try. Bump me on the head if I say too much. *nods*

Still behind on the Springwatch. Behind on the AC.... behind in general...

I was watching it while doing the housework... there was umm.. fox cubs, a tawny owl chick, a cuckoo, bullfinches [they make good hubbies - he shows her nest sites but she makes the decision ] what else.. Iolo and eh... sorry but all I can remember is Iolo

How you doing in the cup? Good luck 

Baby tawny! I will watch on Saturday... get up really early monopolise the tv!

From what I've seen on Facebook, a lot of blokes don't like Iolo... He's too "full of himself"... Such Jealously! XD

Umm... well the first two day we got swept. (swept = beaten in all four games)... even worse one of them was against Faerieland.

Oh  ... a "slow" start then? Good luck for the rest of the tournament Maybe you're slow starters like the Italians...

Baby tawny was cute, twas on at the end of Monday's Springwatch.

Tuesday too but you may wanna skip that. It was gulping down a big long worm that was struggling to get out of its mouth.. for ages.  Oh and there were some chicks, doing horrible poo sacks round the edge of the nest. I'm not squeamish, but I was retching. Remind me to never eat supper when Springwatch is on.

Its on after 11 here 'cos of the Welsh footy. No more poo sacks please! 

There was a butterfly hunt.

Was there? Thanks 

Recaps of Wednesday's highlights for Hitch:

20-25 mins in - compilation of tawny owl clips so far

Just after that - Iolo rocking a wetsuit and lovely underwater photography. 

About 10 mins from the end - badgers.

 More of those chicks leaving poo sacks round the edge of the nest. The Parents just leave them! They got compared to Wayne and Waynetta Slob 

Thank you for all this keeping me up to date... tawny owls and badgers and wetsuits. Oh my! Butterfly hunt should be good, the p2s have caterpillars in class now... I wonder if they've cocooned yet?
