Walk to Sabrina Bridge via the post box and garage, and then back home along Pitchcroft, Worcester: Friday, 27th February, 2021.

If it's your birthday next week, 
your card's in the post.
If not, it isn't.
Our future's rosy Dave.
I've just purchased this week's winning lottery ticket.
I'm the Ivy Street Robin.
This is my street, and my tree, so jog on.
And don't come back.
We'd heard that Pixie and Scooter now 
have a new ginger neighbour.
Here he/she is in the park stalking spags.
Predictably, we have named he/she 'Ginge'.
We look forward to having a proper chat 
with he/she in due course.
I hope you've brought me summat today.
Of course we have.
Mmmm, lovely, see you tomorrow.
Another Robin.
Not singing or eating.

Glorious day downstream.

Not a cloud in the sky.

Q: How old is this tree.
A: Very old.
Worcester Cathedral et al.
Blue Tit.
Skyscape.
Clouds have suddenly bubbled up over The Racecourse.
Appalling.
We're off home now.

I'm getting braver.
Gorrit.
I'll bury that one for later.
