Scary, that. Shades of Alfred Hitchcock.
Still, thank goodness it was a red-winged blackbird and not an eagle!!

I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

I’m fine - these birds are known to be aggressive during nesting season. It felt its little feet on my head, but it just took one warning swoop and then left me alone.
Can’t really blame it, it’s just protecting its home and family!

The news crew (or whoever) got some good photo's at the annual cheese rolling contest.
Sheesh, I bet those people will be sore as heck tomorrow

So I overslept, got attacked by a bird, and then our hot water tank started leaking and flooded the laundry room.
It’s still only Monday…

And then we were both rudely awoken this morning by the cat throwing up on the bed at 4 am.

I decided to make some hot chocolate to cheer myself up.
Burned the hell outta my hand.
I think tomorrow I will just stay in bed.

Good news: the workers who are replacing my water heater have arrived.
We’re going with an electric on-demand (tankless) system, and with this, we’ll be able to get completely off of natural gas! It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a while, so I’m happy about that.

Bad news: they were missing something they needed, so they need to come back tomorrow to finish the job.
I have been told I will have hot water sometime tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.
