Number Six   10 #39 Posted December 4, 2012 I work for a living, so really dont have time to count birds.  Thanks for using some of your precious down time to tell us that.  I look in the garden while I have my breakfast - it's a very efficient method.

irenewilde   10 #40 Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Thanks for using some of your precious down time to tell us that. I look in the garden while I have my breakfast - it's a very efficient method.  I thought it. You wrote it.  Yup. Breakfast time, when I'm cooking or washing up, various times over the weekend. You have to feel sorry for someone who hasn't got a moment to look out of a window, it's a wonder they're not dead from the stress. Or maybe they're just going for pointless post of the day.  Besides, if we didn't work, we wouldn't be able to afford the bird food.....
