    How is your recovery from Long Covid going, Noel? Any improvement?

    (I'm sure AK will be on the case)
    White Hall Wiggle isn't on the FRA fixture list, so doesn't count.

    Thanks for asking. I'm still getting better but it's very slow progress - it's been nearly 2 years now. It's a lot better than it was, and I can do most things that don't require sustained effort. I can walk about 5 miles, albeit slowly up the hills.

    I'm hoping I might be able to jog at some point next year...

    Cuckoo today.
    Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.

    Amazing. We have 3 or 4 here, plus the arrival of the house martins a week or two ago.

    I was wondering if your solitary swallow will be waiting for its partner to arrive and whether it will find another if he/she doesn't arrive. Here's an article on it: https://www.avcr.cz/en/news-archive/...%20is%20common.

    Like a lot of small birds, there's plenty of scandal in swallow love lives.
