I had a Triumph Album in my teens but I can't recall its title!
I think it was their only hit single here from an album. Not that we didn't like them here but not put on our radio playlists. I do remember me and a couple of friends loved the single they put out here and we got the album.
What where their hit songs? Im struggling to recall the one here.
The mid 70s to later 70s im thinking.

From 1979. Maybe?



 

Good morning and happy Friday.

There was an article in the newspaper a few days ago (remember those?) about native wildlife, and it featured the European Starling. (Which of course is not native at all, at least originally.). Among other things, it repeated the idea that they are a "nuisance bird". Which I can see why people would say that when a flock of a thousand of them descends on your yard. But then people in large crowds are often nuisance animals as well. But looked at individually, Starlings are unique and interesting.

Here's PeeWee the other day. I stood and held her in front of a sunny window on a chilly morning. She slowly spread her wings and laid down on my hand, sunbathing like she was in the tropics. She normally stays on her feet, but here she was fully relaxed, laying all the way down, feathers to skin. So cute, happy, and trusting.

Nuisance, my ass.

Young people living here have no idea how bad it can actually get.
Definitely can relate. It was common to miss going back to school after the Christmas break because of all the snow. But that hasn't been an issue in a very long time. I recall one year they had to bring out a bulldozer to clear one stretch of road near the house -- the regular snowplows couldn't do it.

Liking the mug.
I'm about half the temperature then it feels colder.

You know it's cold when animals snuggle up. This will warm ya up a tad.

Our chickens do that when they haven't been in the sun much. Warm day, they walk out into the sun, and just start spreading one wing, and they fall to the ground.
