So.....

So, I am still here. Writing urges - not so many.... That's not to say nothing has happened, indeed my life continues to be extremely interesting and highly entertaining. Hem hem. No, really. Look, it has only been a few weeks but I have done so much that I literally do not know where to start and there has been zero time for writing. Let me summarise in bullet point format, and then if I ever get round to it I will expand upon each bit. I may build up a head of steam and simply pour out words. Alternatively I may not. At this stage it is simply not possible to tell and I cannot explain why. 

- Japan is excellent
- Blue Nuthatch is my new favourite bird
- I've seen a Lammergeir and came close to climbing the Matterhorn*
- There is a Red-backed Shrike on Wanstead Flats
- Autumn has started -Redstart, Pied and Spotted Flycatchers
- I used my bike

* more accurately came close to the Matterhorn. I did look up at it a lot.
