5th February, 2024.
It’s official: it’s Monday.
And?
As ever, I’m up early: so I can get to my weight management class on time.
Hopefully?
I’ll find out whether I’ve lost some weight.

Getting up as early as I did … ?
Means I caught Radio Four’s Tweet of the Day: the (extremely brief) show that plays a bird call at listeners, along side a drive few facts about the bird in question.
Today’s Tweet?
Was presented by Chris Packham: and informed us about the bird making it, the (male) Great Bustard,
The one thing that struck me as funny — funny peculiar, rather than funny ha-ha — was the bird’s call.
I know ornithologists and bird watchers will define the word ‘tweet’ differently to me, and millions of Twitter users: but, for me, it’s got a light sort of feel to it.
It describes the sort of sound made by budgies, rather than anything else.
So, hearing the sound made by Great Bustards?
The only way I could describe the sound, is ‘Fart’!

Just as a final thought?
My Mac — like most of the ones I’ve had over the past few years — has a feature that lets me find symbols, and emojis.
So you know?
‘💨’ is the emoji that comes up when I search for ‘fart’.
Someone’s got a bit too much time on their hands: and it’s not me!
