You know one of my great successes of recent years was winning the "Identify the Breed of Sheep" competition at the PTA quiz? You must remember because I do go on about it quite a bit. (Too much, according to Master Aimson). Well, at Helen's hen do I won the "Identify the Celebrity Wedding Dress" quiz. I am very proud, I got a cup and everything. With the sheep competition, I just got two switched (Scottish Blackface and Leicester Blueface; actually I still think the competition had them switched, but enough of that, I have gone on about it enough); well in the celebrity wedding dress quiz I just got Ellie Jackson and Salma Hayek switched. I hadn't even heard of Ellie Jackson and who knew Salma Hayek would have such a traditional dress?
But I don't bear grudges, as you can see from the fact that I hardly ever mention the fact that I think the Scottish and Leicester sheep were switched. The following Christmas, Aimo bought me this book:

so I could check. I'm not saying we live in the country, but that's the sort of thing you get for a Christmas present around here.
The weather being gorgeous again, we went out for a walk again. This time, the bird we heard AND saw was:
A Woodpecker.
Here is a picture of our walk yesterday:

which Cheryl sent me from her phone, because we are up on that technology thing, we is practically the kids (and I'm cool according to Miss Miller-Lewis). It's quite cool living in the country actually. It does look rather good in this photo, don't you think?
