Go straight to "Birds:-" if you don't want to be upset and use up all your Kleenex reading this first bit..
boo hoo 😟😟😟.
A visit to Hatties Cafe in Harden Garden Centre today for lunch with some friends, afterwards Sue decided she needed a replacement tyre for her car, so we went to PSM Tyres in Brighouse , and ordered a new tyre for Wednesday.
The place is a one man band, very good prices and service.
(She saved well over £41 in a tyre price comparison to Cars2 Bradford).
In a bizarre coincidence, as we were travelling home through Hove Edge, the on board computer reported "Uno problemo da Pirelli" clever these French computers.
We stopped and I had a butcher hook at the thing and it was doing a mega "Hissing Sid" with the pressure way down, but fortunately the tyre was only flat along the bottom.
We legged it back towards PSM but we had to stop 3 times to use the air pump to inflate the thing - the air pump only just putting more air in than Hissing Sid was exhaling - a long job - with 20 psi the maximum we manged.
A broken Stanley knife blade was imbedded in the centre of the tyre indentation, and the 'hole' was too big to be plugged. Just wait till I see Stanley.
I let out a heartfelt PSI and said to Sue:-
"Fortunately the bad tyre was the one that we were replacing on Wednesday and not one of the newer ones!".
I know it's upsetting, but life is sometimes a bit of a let down...
ask Judd Trump (with only £200,000 to spend).
Birds:-
With all that fiasco, not much birding time till early evening today with a walk along the fields, up Ned Hill Lane and along Percy Road.
A good few Linnet are hereabout now.
Little Owl.
Lesser Black-backed Gull.
A few Swallow.
Curlew calling and Skylark singing.
Pr. Stock Dove, Pied Wagtail.
