Went out to get the papers from Somerfields, and was treated to a few aerobatic rows between gulls and crows. As I walked up the road, a shell dropped by my feet. What the birds do is to pick a shell from the basin at low tide and drop it from a height to crack it. Once that is achieved, they eat the creature inside. Some birds follow the shell as it falls to the ground, particularly useful in the basin which is a mire of seaweed, rocks and stuff. Spend the afternoon getting up to date with 70 alerts. After sunset, it's dinnertime. Watch the lottery game, but no luck. Again.
