Me Da thinks Im mad but I have heard it in March. But the last 2 years it has been late April into May. I have a large area of bog behind the house fringed with trees and all my life I have listened for the cuckoo. I remember me gran standing out in the yard in the early morning to catch an earful of the annual visitor and she always lamented the loss of her hearing in the last year or two of her life cos she could not hear it.

Have horses all around us here and the kids love them but they dont have to shovel the shyte off the lawn.
Have a farmer across the way and he forgets that horses can jump. Course when he leaves all the gates open they dont have to.

Most mornings I go to the local deli counter for breakfast, being too lazy to make my own. The cheerfullness and banter from the deli staff, all of them non nationals, always cheers up my morning.

I made a point of seeing the manager and telling him I was very pleased with his Deli staff, and why.... and that it wasn't the food but the staff that brought me back day after day. He was quite surprised as he said that most customers who have anything to say about staff are usually complaining.
