I had quite a busy day today starting with a quick trip to the shops this morning. Because the royal wedding was on from 8:30am there weren't too many people around and a lot of the shops weren't opening until 1pm but at least Tesco and Wilkinson's were open so I managed to get the shopping I needed.
When I got home I made some coffee and sat down just in time to see the bride arrive at Westminster Abbey and she did look stunning. I got on with a few other odds and ends and after lunch I managed to give the car a good clean.
After I had finished I made a cup of tea and stood in the kitchen watching the birds from the window. There was the usual gang of sparrows pinging about and a goldfinch came over onto the thistle seed feeder. I watched him for a minute or so when another one appeared and then another. I rushed into the front room to get my camera and when I got back there were four of them.
Of course, when you want to do something quickly you suddenly find you have five unco-ordinated thumbs and cannot do the simple thing you were aiming to achieve. I carefully moved the net curtain to one side so that I did not frighten them and I was about to take the picture when another goldfinch appeared. I felt so honoured and pleased because I had only seen two at the same time before today and now there were five. I was so engrossed that I forgot to press the button on the camera!
Oh well, I will have to make sure the camera is in the kitchen and when I get a good picture I will put it on my blog.
