[Anne Kilmer]

Well, there was a hail storm. And I won't be negotiating barbed wire and
chuntering around in the bog until my PLD (personal levitation device)
comes, and first I have to eat four more boxes of cereal before I send
for it. 
Furthermore, if they won't come up to the front courtyard and eat
breadcrumbs like a Christian, I'll have nothing to do with them. What's
good enough for Pine Martens is good enough for butterflies. 
sincerely
Anne Kilmer
Mayo
Ireland
Besides, I am having enough trouble with all those small brown birds,
some of which are house sparrows, but not all of them.
