Look to the Skies

Two pictures from the last week. The first is the new cable car, opening soon, or possibly already opened. You can use your oyster card to ride on it, so I am going to test it out soon! It starts from North Greenwich, but I don't know where it ends up. The only other cable car I have ever been on is in Madrid. It goes to the Casa del Campo-a large country park just outside the city. We were almost the only people there. We had a coke, watched the many sparrows, had a little walk, then got the cable car back. There was a commentary in Spanish as you went along. An amusing experience. Hope this one is as good.

This parakeet and his friends were making loads of noise the other evening. They were in the cherry tree two gardens along. The cats and I were all out in the garden when the birds flew low over our heads, making their distinctive screeching squawks. We all ducked! I have seen them flying over here a lot, but really high up, and this is the closest they have got to our garden. I had my big camera out, so could take a zoomed in shot of this one.

I meant to come home early tonight, to continue with my tracking which I have only just started. However, events conspired against me, and I ended up not leaving until about half four, so I have decided not to do any work, but to knit instead! I am so tired I think I deserve an evening off!
