Blackbird playing in a puddle

I love to paddle in a puddle
Do you?
I’ll bet you do.

I love to paddle in a puddle
Yes please!
Up to my knees.

Jackie and I have been laid low with seriously-sick-and-ill-itus this week, with the result that a good few days have just vanished into a big, vague, grey box. We haven’t been out and about to take many pictures – but when I looked through those we had, I found this picture of one of our blackbirds. He was just playing in the puddle and ignored us completely. He was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Just what we needed to cheer us up.
