Sunny but coolish here. Feels more like Spring than midsummer actually.

Its great they're back   a bit of a wait to next year though.

How are you keeping, Hopefully no more migraines? Must be awful things to suffer from, poor Hitch xx

Seems to have turned to Autumn here.

Indeed. *waits impatiently*

I'm alright. Not for a week or two. But, currently got a bee in my bonnet about Neil Gaiman saying brits pronounce migraine as "mee-grain"... Which we don't! (I asked English people in case it was an English thing. No one will admit to it.)

Nobody pronounces migraine as mee-grain!  Don't think I've even heard it once?  

Ah well, at least you're free of 'em for now xx 

See... we thought it was the Americans that said it like that, but apparently not. Anyhow, we've decided if anyone does say it, it's the same people that say Kenya as "keen-yah". You know the ones...

Recommendation: Markiplier's play-through of 5 Nights at Freddy's on youtube... I shrieked at one point. Scary.

I know the ones indeed 

Scary eh?  Like what ... like The Ring scary? That's the last time I was scared[ish].

Indeed. 2nd and 3rd you get used to the jumpscares... then the forth one comes around and... ahhhhhh!

Gulp  Maybe I'll keep it for Halloween?

I'm a card-carrying Wuss   Haven't watched a single thing on the Horror Channel on Freeview yet!

The horror channel is fun. Maybe ease yourself in with Wonder Woman? She's not scary. If Christmas Evil comes around, watch that... it was on again the other week... they generally come around again quite quickly. There's a Spanish movie called (I think) Sexy Killer, about a fashion student serial killer. It's quite funny. Oh.. and Popcorn. Not sure if I liked that or just got excited by the movie posters in the cinema lobby (seen that! and that!).

5 Nights at Freddy's, if you watch the Markiplier play-throughs you can concentrate on his reactions if you think the game is getting too intense. Hilarious.

Thanks for these  shall look out for these stuffs as the nights draw in  I can't really do spooky in the Summer? Must be my northern / celtic blood or summat? Long dark nights are the time for dark thoughts... 

I can do spooky all year round. I'm all about the spook.

Anyhow... you what's scary and I don't like?

*dramatic tension*

Back to work soon.

 Awww shame xx   

Ah well... has to happen.

Have you found a Mad Men replacement yet?

Not yet 

How are you keeping, and when do you have to go back?

I started back at the cleaning a week last Tuesday. Big clean... but get it over with early in the day... and have the rest of the day free... back at the kitchen next Wednesday.

I've been on youtube far too often, I'm forgetting to go everywhere else. Watched a lot more Markiplier horror game playlists and the first 50 episodes of Steven Universe. The song in that 50th episode is amazing, and makes me glad Garnet is a capricorn gem. *nods*

Sounds like a good source of programmes. Funny, I only ever use it for cheapo music or cute animal vids. [ I'm trying to avoid the latter due to their highly addictive nature ]. 

It's not great for tv... Sometimes audio or picture has to be changed to fool youtube's "you shouldn't have posted that" algorithm. For example, the Steven Universe I'm watching is cropped in from the sides and bottom.. but as long as you can see what's happening.

Animal videos are. I think a large part of my tumblr is random animal reblogs.

Ooh, ta Hitch   I'm always learning tech stuffs from you. You young whippersnappers with your new fangled ways 

I haven't been called young in a long time.

You're young compared to me *waves walking stick cheerily* 

Early thirties... och sure you're just a wee babby   

I dunno, I'm to the stage of "He's rather hot... and 25... ew ew no!" People 20 years younger  than me can go on internet forum without parent consent... How is that possible? *blinks*

  to the first and  to the second. Yeah... its a scary thought. 

Anyhow. My friend was supposed to be having a c-section yesterday... and I've heard nothing. In worry mode now.

Oh no, you must be so worried Hitch. Hope all will be well for your friend  xx

I have since got a text, Zohra has made her appearance.

How lovely  Zohra is a beautiful name too xx

She named after grannies, her middle name Elizabeth after my friend's mum.

 Glad all went well for your friend, and wee babby Zahira Elizabeth 

*coughs*zohra*coughs*

Yay. Footie tomorrow. Planning anything nice this weekend.

Bliddy hell sorry  ... I do that a lot  Called someone by the wrong FM name recently too. Maybe I'm going gaga - at least I'm in the right place 

yay for Footyness! 

Umm...nothing planned... apart from going down A + E + asking for a brain transplant 

Don't worry about it, after 6 weeks away I'm calling the kids by the wrong names in work.

We were right behind the goal. I'm probably on Sportscene ducking and covering from the missed goals.

They do brain transplants? Oh goodie... I can maybe ask for one that's good at... stuff.

What match were you at? Sounds like you had a good seat [ apart from the nervous ducking ]. 

Celtic vs ICT. We won, but we managed to half the goal difference midway through the second half.

Well done anyway... a win is a win 

I sent my brother a window birdfeeder for his Birthday. Its doing great business... he sent me a vid [ They look like sparrows? ...would be brilliant, as their numbers have declined so badly in recent years ].

[ Sorry can't get vid to upload properly, so link will have to do  ]

Nice. I'd agree with the sparrow assessment.

I met Zohra yesterday. Still not a baby person, she will grow though.

Ahhh lovely  What's she like? Did you hold her yet...

Yes I prefer em when they're older and start saying cute stuff!

Oh and yep... Owen says they're a sparrow family. Looked up the rspb guide and indeed the juveniles have yellow beaks [ like the one on the far right ]. I'd like one of those window feeders but there seem to be no small birds round here whatever  Just gulls, pidgies and magpies.

I did, it was awkward. Umm.. baby-like? I'm not really a baby person.

Cool. I'm not sure how secure/refillable one of those would be for one up.

Good point. I may have to do with one of these [ they do a range of birds complete with real calls ].

I just ordered one for Owen's birthday   . He's hoping his latest robin sticks around the garden... but got him a spare just in case
