Tea was initially an enigma, as it was some thing I’d put in the freezer without labelling it. It turned out to be the spicy chicken thighs with shallots and cherry tomatoes that I made the other week, so I made some chips to go with it. Pretty nice actually 
The rain’s been back, but there’s a nice double rainbow too
I’m concerned about the young magpies in this wind though. I was thinking earlier that it might be a lot for them to cope with, and I just spent several minutes watching the parents looking as if they were searching for them; they weren’t pecking at the grass at all, and were going around looking under the hedges and so on. They may have been calling too, but I can’t hear that up here through double glazing. Anyway, now I’m worried that the young ones have let themselves get carried away by the wind and can’t find their way back
