Where's The Pheasant?

-

 

"Where's the pheasant? Where is he?" is what I sometimes say to myself when I'm just around the corner from the place where I go for work training, because I have seen a male pheasant around there once or twice.

Well, today I got off the bus at a different place to walk the rest of the way in a nicer area than right by a busy road (like I have been doing the past few times), and since the bus was early, I thought I'd explore that area a bit more. I ws just looking at the map on my phone to see if it would be worth going down one of the other paths at some point or if I'd be better off sticking to where I know, when suddenly, a pheasant flew past!

So that meant I just had to go near where he landed to try and get some pictures of him. I don't know if it was the same one from near where I go for work training, it very well could have been if pheasants do get around places (I've seen a few in another area occasionally before, near where one of the people from my Thursday social groups lives). Anyway, the camera my Dad gave me has this thing where it records some videos as you're trying to take pictures and then puts them together for you, as you can see above, if the video will actually play (please excuse the noises I'm making, and the surprisingly loud zooming noise).

I Just Can't Win

    These bus delays are just ridiculous. Over 15 minutes late, how are they getting away with it? I got a different bus just because it said on Google Maps that it would take slightly less time than the really late bus, but it ended up arriving at the station several minutes late and made basically no difference. I think because its route has some diversion or something that makes it loop around a place it's already been past, but you'd think with Google Maps having live bus times and information about delays that it would also have information about diversions?

Nothing Interesting On

Something my Dad is bothered about is how there aren't many interesting TV shows on most evenings at the moment, or new episodes of shows released on streaming services. Monday has the Quiz shows, but one of the three they usually have on has finished, while the other two are close to finishing, and then we'll have to go a few months without those before they start up again. And then there's not much on the other days either. I've not got many shows to be invested in at the moment, and I have other ways I can entertain myself, so it never really bothered me when there was nothing interesting on. I don't know what my Dad could do to be less bored in the evenings.

Missing

Inspiration is everywhere! Seriously! Today I decided to go to my city's arboretum, and what I discovered there has given me some more story inspiration! So there's this bell tower, one with a Chinese design (although some of the letters on it look more Russian or something? I've forgotten the history of this tower). Anyway, I hadn't been up to that area in years, so I decided to go there, and...   There's something not quite right about this...   ...The bell is missing! I looked online, and it turns out the bell has been missing since last year in February. People think it was stolen by some people who I guess were desperate enough for money to go and steal it and sell it to someone who has probably melted it by now. Apparently it was just a replica but still an important one that had been there for many years. Seems like all they can do now is make a new replica and hope no one steals that. After that, I went down to the aviary to see the birds, but there were bar...
