Robbie's Valentine Spread.

Zac, he said, I saw an old bag with bugs in it and I want to spoil my wife.

A Happy Valentine's Day to all of the ladies on Hive.
Especially to each of the ladies that always support us. You are all special.

This is a valentine story of a difference, as it is the story of our Cape Robin-chat residents here in our garden.
Robbie saw some bugs in one of Marian's old bird seed bags and so Marian emptied the bag out for them to clear the seeds of the bugs.

One of the bugs tried to escape up the wall and Robbie took care of it.

His wife appeared and she looked surprised.

Then she investigated the gift and she was very happy.

After they had both cleared the seeds of bugs, she jumped up onto the normal squirrel seat here.

Then she popped down onto the bird bath.

She is always very neat in the bath and never creates a big splash.

Then it was her man's turn and this guy's bath is fun to watch.

Look at that splash! I think that he knows that our dams are full and he has no considerations about saving water.

Then the couple retired for a night of love, moonshine and mountains.

So, a bird love story for you to enjoy today and this couple showed us the value of love and care.
Life is what it is and we all get hurt at one stage or another. I am no exception, but there is always a way back and normally on the way back from a broken heart, we are a bit wiser until we meet the special one.
Others have the special one right from the beginning like the two little Robins and they are the lucky ones.

Life is what it is and love is also what it is. If a loved one is supportive, caring and builds one up, then it's love, but if a mate hurts and spites then that mate first has to learn the value of loving him or herself, before they can love others.
Love hurts and yet true mutual love can overcome any obstacles in our roads in life.
Like they have said, it takes two to tango.

And that's all friends, I hope only the very best for all here in their relationships on this great day and forever.

What a lovely story, my friend, these two robins are so cute 🤗

You said wise and right words about life and love, and I like the saying "it takes two to tango".

Happy Valentine's Day to you and to your Lady Marian 😊💐

Thank you Hannes,

I think that a certain mountain goat that I know also celebrates the day and I hope that you got some nice ideas and things for your missus.

All blessings to you guys not only on this day, but every day ❤️❤️❤️

Cheers and thanks.

No, not really, my friend, I don't like buying cut flowers any and especially not on such a day. Such a commercial event is nothing I like to celebrate.
If I buy my wife flowers it will be a living plant that makes she happy for more than one or two days.

Happy Valentine's Day, my friend 😀

!PIZZA and !BEER served with !LUV - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Remember that last year's Valentine we admitted to each other that we don't celebrate it?
Still the same here and I see at your side too, so all is good.

Happy Valentines Day my friend 🤣

Cheers and thanks.

So glad that we could hijack them as now we have a perfect alarm clock.

Oh yes, he is a very violent bather and she is the cutest little thing during her pert acts in the bath.
A real girly 😊

Oh yes, that little guy only makes a single tweet that is normally at the start of an adult's song. So slowly he will develop his own lovely song.

Early morning song is beautiful, then business erupts across the road making human noise all day long!

Hahaha, we have even learnt to count the cars, until they reach the full crescendo level.

Only thing that keeps me counting is wagons on a train, rare occasion I see them! Noise levels must exceed spectrum allowed.

Hahaha, talking of trains listen to this.
We went down to wait for the old steam train to pass through her and when we stopped at the line, the train was standing there. Imagine our surprise as it was only supposed to arrive 30 minutes later.

There was a big diesel unit coupled to the steam train and it must have had problems, so the unit pulled the whole lot faster over the mountain.

It was waiting for a signal as it had arrived early and the Cape was still miles away.

Noise levels are way beyond that my friend.

We still hear the diesel pulling wagons over the bridge at night, hoot before entering the bridge when wind direction is coming up the valley. No steam train anymore on Sunday's that line is now only from Kloof to the Drakensberg for a day ride.

So sad to no more have the steam train and the diesel's hooter sounds totally different, as the steam train has an almost melodiac call. Have you been on that day ride?

We did coastal trip a few times when children were younger, now planning inland from Kloof perhaps toward winter, too hot at the moment.

Autumn should be spectacular, or winter when Aloes are out in bloom.

Oy Vay! I can tell the Robins that some kind lady gave them a bag of bugs for Valentine's Day.

Sorry for my belated Valentine wishes and I think that you know that we are now struggling with our IT signal service.
We have the cheapest one, but signed a 24 month contract today with one of the big and expensive suppliers. It's going to be a pain with the expenses, but we simply cannot continue like this.
Marian has to lecture and mark 300+ Theology degree students every day and the breaks in the signal is driving us both crazy.
So hopefully from tomorrow no more as we will be loaded onto the new system.

@papilloncharity What a great bird love story. He seems to have really pleased her with the opening gift of bag of worms (which I suspect would be equivalent to a surprise dinner at a fancy restaurant) and then she really had a grand day with a dip in the pool. Wish all our human valentine days went so well 😀

Great clicks.

Hahaha, you have described it perfectly 🤣 !LOLZ

They did indeed have a A La Carte meal and her pert swimming action was great to watch.
So I am convinced that it was a night of true and tender love for them.
Humans are fallow my friend and we need to have our potential restored 😉
