Fri -- Mum came. Ate very nice supermarket ratoutuille. Watched Doctor
Who. Anna and Robert came round and borrowed some other Doctor Who.

Sat -- We drove diagonally across England and stopped in an out of the
way village in the Cotswolds, where we had tea, and walked up to the
hilltops to marvel. A stoat or ferret or something (I remember a
weasel is weaselly recognised and a stoat is stoatally different, but
I forget which is which). I expect on the theme for my dino game. We
go to Evesham and visit Dad's Mum's grave.

Sun -- We go to the Old Hills and see bluebell carpets.

Mon -- Dad and I stroll round the river to the cider pub for cards,
and back down to the local pub for pool. (13mi?)

Tue -- Dad and I paddle the insane boat up to the cider pub, and then
drift back in the gloaming watching fish jump.

Wed -- I sleep in and read in the garden. In the evening I meet Dad in
town, and see some friends from school.

Thu -- I do some computer stuff in the day, and mum and I go to eat
good mexican food and see Wild Hogs "the worst film she'd ever seen,
but in an ok way".

Fri -- I do more programming and sitting in the sun, and mum and I
talk maths and watch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I meet dad in the
pool pub. A nice waitress doomedly offers us tickets to a meaty
raffle.

Sat -- We go to Stow, great landscape gardens, thence to Cambridge,
river, Bite lock, Milton, pub, home.

Sun -- Botanic gardens and town.

A brief summary -- I may post more, but I'll record this here before I forget.

Blackbirds

There are two blackbirds on the fence, tug-of-war-ing over a scrap of something. It looks like they want to fight, but they might be flirting. Oops, they dropped it. It was very sweet, the male hopped down onto the bar and then the trellis, clinging sideways and looking dolefully at the bush where it disappeared. Then he climbed back up, they looked at each other, cocked their tails, and hopped off the other side. Under a rain of blossom.

For anyone else who likes warning, there's a round ceilidh on Saturday (check the website for location change).
