Kingfishers

No, not the beer. Ever seen a Kingfisher? They're very difficult to locate and, because of the way they dart about, you're unlikely to catch anything more than a flash of bright colour as they dart by. You can therefore imagine the pain I endured from Molly last summer when I managed to see one several times in the space of an afternoon down on Romney Marsh - every time I saw it, Molly was bending over tying her shoelace, blowing her nose or undertaking some other mundane activity.

However...in January we both managed to see one in plain sight - now I can go about my home life without fear of reprisal for having seen something Molly hasn't.
