the nailpolish I'm wearing is called "kung fu blue". I'm pretty sure that's why I bought it.
oh, I wish I had a suntan
oh, I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine
oh, I wish I had a beach house
then we could make a big fire every night
instead I'm just crazy
I'm totally mad
yeah I'm just crazy
I'm fucked in the head
and maybe if I really tried with all of my heart

Saturday night was just myself and Bella and we went into town. A much more unusual night for us, mostly away from the usual haunts.
We did go into the Star early on and I did karaoke in there. Very enjoyable and much much better than my last performance in there (which I didn't post - it was a proper disaster, ha ha).
After The Start we wen to The Mission in the old town, then on to the Scale and Feather, then I took Bella to Spiders nightclub, the alternative nightclub where I spen a large portion of my youth!
It was a top night, hugely enjoyable.
In The Star.

You know, we wait long enough for things to start blooming and the world be pretty and just when everything looks gorgeous for a day or two, here comes a nasty storm that robs us of all of this beauty.. Yesterday the weather was foul, the wind gusting to 90km/h or so and the rain was pelting everything around. Most of the blossoms were blown off the trees and bushes.. My furniture was blown off my deck and half of my fence collapsed on one side. I'm sure there was more damage done in other parts of the city as well. Mind you, when the sunset came it was quite wonderful...
Advanced thank you to all for the views, comments, awards and faves for the photo.

I bought this dress back in 2017 and have loved it ever since I first tried it on. Quite modest and subdued, nothing too flashy, but I feel it suits me really well.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to everyone who celebrates this special day today!
What a mess Flickr was last night! I had difficulty adding titles to my uploaded images, comments didn't save and, after I had added a description to each of the 20 photos, the descriptions all disappeared. When I opened Flickr this morning, there was still no sign of them. Then, suddenly, they re-appeared.
My photos taken at the National Butterfly Centre, Mission, South Texas, have now come to an end, so you can sigh a huge sigh of relief : ) After that, I have just a few photos taken at another place that we called in at later in the afternoon. Unfortunately, we only had an hour there before closing time, but how glad we were that we found this place. The highlight there was watching 25 Yellow-crowned Night-Herons coming in to roost for the night in the trees, right where we were standing! What a great sight this was, and we were lucky enough to have a good, close view of these gorgeous birds. We also saw some Purple Martins and their circular, hanging nest "gourds".
On Day 6 of our birding holiday in South Texas, 24 March 2019, we left our hotel in Kingsville, South Texas, and started our drive to Mission, where we would be staying at La Quinta Inn & Suites for three nights. On the first stretch of our drive, we were lucky enough to see several bird species, including a Golden-fronted Woodpecker, Hooded Oriole, Red-tailed Hawk, Crested Caracara, Harris's Hawk, Pyrrhuloxia male (looks similar to a Cardinal) and a spectacular Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. I'm not sure if this stretch is called Hawk Alley.
We had a long drive further south towards Mission, with only a couple of drive-by photos taken en route (of a strangely shaped building that turned out to be a deserted seed storage building). Eventually, we reached our next planned stop, the National Butterfly Centre. This was a great place, my favourite part of it being the bird feeding station, where we saw all sorts of species and reasonably close. Despite the name of the place, we only saw a few butterflies while we were there. May have been the weather or, more likely, the fact that I was having so much fun at the bird feeding station. We also got to see Spike, a giant African Spurred Tortoise. All the nature/wildlife parks that we visited in South Texas had beautiful visitor centres and usually bird feeding stations. And there are so many of these parks - so impressive!
nationalbutterflycenter.org/nbc-multi-media/in-the-news/1...
"Ten years ago, the North American Butterfly Association broke ground for what has now become the largest native plant botanical garden in the United States. This 100-acre preserve is home to Spike (who thinks he is a butterfly) and the greatest volume and variety of wild, free-flying butterflies in the nation. In fact, USA Today calls the National Butterfly Center, in Mission, Texas, 'the butterfly capitol of the USA'." From the Butterfly Centre's website.
The Centre is facing huge challenges, as a result of the "Border Wall". The following information is from the Centre's website.
www.nationalbutterflycenter.org/about-nbc/maps-directions...
"No permission was requested to enter the property or begin cutting down trees. The center was not notified of any roadwork, nor given the opportunity to review, negotiate or deny the workplan. Same goes for the core sampling of soils on the property, and the surveying and staking of a “clear zone” that will bulldoze 200,000 square feet of habitat for protected species like the Texas Tortoise and Texas Indigo, not to mention about 400 species of birds. The federal government had decided it will do as it pleases with our property, swiftly and secretly, in spite of our property rights and right to due process under the law."
"What the Border Wall will do here:
1) Eradicate an enormous amount of native habitat, including host plants for butterflies, breeding and feeding areas for wildlife, and lands set aside for conservation of endangered and threatened species-- including avian species that migrate N/S through this area or over-winter, here, in the tip of the Central US Flyway.
2) Create devastating flooding to all property up to 2 miles behind the wall, on the banks of the mighty Rio Grande River, here.
3) Reduce viable range land for wildlife foraging and mating. This will result in greater competition for resources and a smaller gene pool for healthy species reproduction. Genetic "bottlenecks" can exacerbate blight and disease.
IN ADDITION:
4) Not all birds can fly over the wall, nor will all butterfly species. For example, the Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, found on the southern border from Texas to Arizona, only flies about 6 ft in the air. It cannot overcome a 30 ft vertical wall of concrete and steel.
5) Nocturnal and crepuscular wildlife, which rely on sunset and sunrise cues to regulate vital activity, will be negatively affected by night time flood lighting of the "control zone" the DHS CBP will establish along the wall and new secondary drag roads. The expansion of these areas to vehicular traffic will increase wildlife roadkill.
6) Animals trapped north of the wall will face similar competition for resources, cut off from native habitat in the conservation corridor and from water in the Rio Grande River and adjacent resacas. HUMANS, here, will also be cut off from our only source of fresh water, in this irrigated desert.

Found this at an estate sale.
The owners had passed away. It's always so interesting to see people's belongings.
I think the woman who owned this beauty suitcase was such an interesting person :)

Friday night out in Sheffield with the lovely Trisha and of course my bestie Gemma!
At a club called Soyo which we enjoyed very much, and was quite different to a lot of the places we usually go. Very subdued lighting, and different music to what we normally go for, but we had a great time!

Blimey, it seems I went a bit camera-mad on this particular evening! And old favourite but a goody, this French Connection bandage dress was one I used to wear almost as often as my signature pink dress!

Surgery day! I was third in so had to wait until around midday and was done and back in my room for 2.15!
Amaxzingly, no pain. Obviously I was under general anaesthetic and I also had an epidural, but after waking up I only had paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Morning selfies before the surgery.

Had a really lovely weekend with two lovely friends over to Hull for a weekend visit.
We did a long slow wander around town during the afternoon, taking in a few of the notable spots (yes, Hull has a couple!) then out on Saturday night for a few drinks.
At Hull Minster.

Tons of pictures from a great day!
Gemma came up for the weekend again. It was her birthday on the Saturday and it seemed a good idea to spend it together.
These were from Friday when we went back to Flamborough and then later went to our favourite French restaurant for amazing food!
