I grew up with a cold house, you just wore woollen clothes and coal fires were lit whenever needed.
Face washing was always in cold water . . bath once a week ? or was that boarding school - or a false memory from some book ?

made my beakfast splodge of "greek" yoghurt, porridge oats and a dash of milk.
Turned 300 watts of kitchen lights off
Sat down with my pint glass of Typhoo tea and enjoyed the view from the seventh.

Great new specs. - so good to be sharp eyed again - can see the faint starboard light of a turning airliner . . . green

"Bird Song Mnemonics & Phonetics - Technically, mnemonics are gimmicks we use to remember songs and calls, while phonetics are actually what the bird is saying

. For example, pewees say 'pewee' and Phoebes say 'phoebe' so those are phonetics.

Barred owls say 'who cooks for you', but not really. That's a mnemonic.

I think that we all use the two interchangeably. There are also comparative sounds, i.e., when we compare a song or call to something.

For example, a red-breasted nuthatch sounds like a tin horn or a common grackle sounds like a rusty pump handle. Of course, all of this takes a great deal of imagination and creativity, but that's the fun of it, right? " Bird Song Mnemonics - listed alphabetically by bird
