A pigeon fell out a tree

I have had a very relaxing day today, which is really what holidays are good for.  A nice way to start my 22nd year, I must add!

Today, the weather is vicious.  It snowed overnight though that quickly melted with the wan sun this morning.  Now though, we have gale-force winds and rain - it's so windy, I saw a pigeon get blown out of the tree in my back garden!  (That was quite funny to watch, though).

I got to score off something nice today, which was Get a massage.  £25 for a hot stone massage and I can tell you, it was awesome!  It's amazing the difference it makes to have someone who knows what they're doing unknotting your muscles.  There's still a lot of tension there, but it's something I certainly want to make a regular habit.  Not too expensive either, when you consider the benefits.

I also finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today whilst curling up in my duvet to stay warm.  It's certainly a different experience reading them all in quick succession, and a better one I feel.  I'm following the story a lot better without the long interruptions between books and Half-Blood Prince is a particularly sad one.  I've started on Deathly Hallows now and I can honestly say I'll be a bit sad when I'm done!

Finally, I've been playing with my new camera (heart!) and this is the result for today:

Not brilliant, but an experiment in manual focus and learning how it works with my camera.  See - told you it was raining.  :-p  I was trying to get a shot of the raindrops as they fell, but lost patience.  Unfortunately, you can also see Will in the corner of the shot working away.  Never mind!
