Y'know I adore Curlews, they're stunning looking and I am impressed by their mournful wail. But......Jesus they're a bit dumb. Yesterday on my drive to the ferry I came to a complete stop twice, and had to slow to almost zero once, and be very very slow around another two. So basically five close enough calls.

This morning I slowed right down for one and it took off, flying in the same direction as my car and trying to land ( they don't seem to want to fly too far ) a few times right in front of me. ( The Prometheus school of escapee I suppose ). I ended up waiting for it to gain a bit of height again and flooring it to get underneath and continue with my journey. The Curlew lived to flight another day.

Also, looking at the thermometer before I left caused me to not wear my hoodie this morning, that may have been a mistake. It certainly doesn't feel like 22. ( Mind you that was the temp inside my house so maybe I'm dumb ) Have a lovely day.

Here's another random tune recommendation from my list of "songs what I dont hear on the radio"

This is from Friendly - an Australian DJ who had a bit of a hit with a song called "I love you but.... " that was pretty big back in the very early 00s.

This song is from the tail end of the Akimbo album which is another physical copy I actually bought (and then ripped to FLAC). It's called "The Soundtrack To The Story Of My Life" and is very tuneful. Nothing like the booms and oonce-oonce of "I love you but...".

The Soundtrack To The Story Of My Life

And just in case you want to be reminded of his big(gest) hit:

I love you but...

If you want a bit more Friendly, these are another two that were somewhat successful at the time:
My Mother Was A Deejay
Some Kind Of Love Song <-- (featuring Sia no less!)

Just checked my super to see how bad it is after the start of the week, and wow, not doing to hot right now. Graph going down...

Just glad I am not retiring any time soon. RIP to everyone else though.
