WIP, aloof, introverted, cat serving human. Sometimes by sheer luck, I might say something insightful; otherwise usual nonsense warnings apply. Currently awaiting upon the cat distribution system for my next calling.

I've an external USB plug in one.
Otherwise I've an old Blu Ray player plugged into my TV. In fact I'll probably be buying a new one which can play 4K ones in the next year.
I'm quickly moving away from streaming services.

Oh gosh, I'm watching more DVDs and Blu Rays now than I ever have. I'm even picking up DVDs and Blu Rays where I can get them now of series I've enjoyed. Recently purchased Parks & Recreation and just bought Battlestar Galactica.

There are few people in this world that I would approve being handed the death penalty. This madman would be on the list and I'd leave his body out for the carrion to pick at, then throw his bones in the sea to forget.

It is a dark, dreary and damp morning. Feels like we've gone back to February overnight and yesterday's day of joyous Spring was only a dream.

I'm sure you'll come to some compromise.

My cat seemed to know about the time change and adjusted accordingly... No idea how she did it.

Merlin Bird ID - Home Identify Bird Songs and Calls Sound ID listens to the birds around you and shows real-time suggestions for who’s singing. Compare your recording to the songs and calls in Merlin to confirm what you...

I'm using the 'Merlin' app:
merlin.allaboutbirds.org

Really easy to use and works quiet well.

Yeah, I do like to see a bird as well, especially if I don't know the call. I least I heard and saw this Chiff-Chaff.

There was a great big fat one in a crocus by my front door. Sadly by the time I'd got my camera out it had flown!
