Still No TB and a Bop From a Blackbird

Faint howling again last night from TB. Was awake and worrying for hours about that sad beagle. Even wandered out to see if I could hear which direction it came from. Next door are still spending every available minute searching. Have also put adverts in the papers and around the village.

Got too close to the blackbirds yesterday afternoon and one tried to bop me on the head. How unkind - Was only watching their nest-building efforts.
