We were late again today, leaving the house at 7.25 a.m. It was grey and damp, and a bit fresher than yesterday. No sun, but thankfully no wind either.

We made straight for the tennis courts, and the ravens were waiting for us in the cherry trees.
To our surprise, someone else was n 'our' court already - a man with a husky, which we've seen before. That husky is friendly, but an escape artist, and the man used the courts because he'd seen me do it!

We went into the adjoining one, but I am careful in there because there is a gap between the fence and the wall, where Miss Sophie would be able to slink through if a squirrel needed to be chased ... so I kept her on her lead.

The ravens were a bit confused - while the man and I chatted before he left, they sat on the top fence, looking down, not sure what was going on.

Still damp, grey and gloomy - but not too cold.
We went out at 7.20 a.m. - a bit later than usual, but at least it was light, and its being Sunday, the park was empty.

We went straight to the tennis courts, the ravens were waiting for us in the cherry trees.

Lots of rain overnight, and still raining in the morning. It was also grey, grim and cold - and MissSophie did not fancy going out into the back garden.

So we only took a brief walk along the avenue in Pontcanna Fields, me still creeping along like a hundred-year old who'd had mislaid her Zimmer frame ...

Thus - no ravens today either.

It was cold and foggy today, with rather heavy mist over the big field and the other fields in Llandaff Fields.

We only walked round the first field - make that: 'hobbled'! I didn't want to deprive Miss Sophie of her outing, and moving about if at all possible is good for me - and that sciatica ... or so they say ...

We didn't see any ravens because we didn't venture as far as where they wait for us.

Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day, sciatica-wise.

Posting at this early time, when Miss Sophie and I are usually out - because it is indoor games for her, and no visit to the ravens ...

Unfortunately, I have got sciatica and am a bit incapacitated.

Hopefully I can start creeping about tomorrow.
