Found this in Poco Vino my local Aldi last night. Glass size wine bottles are not new, but the look, packaging and concept looked genius to me. Very clearly aimed at women. Wine i sampled (Malbec from France) was just OK. Back to full bottles for better quality, so...

Glass size wine bottles with screw tops branded Poco Vino (a little wine). Bottles are long and narrow, an unusual look more often associated with cosmetics or perfume.

Stupidly pleased with myself for this pic, though disappointed the museum is closed today. Lovely revamp of the market square, too. #Athy #kildare #Shackleton #Speirgorm

The mistle thrush is not part of the turdus family for no reason. Out resident one is actively minding our big, berried, holly tree.

Birders of #Speirgorm: a mistle thrush in my front garden yesterday perched on my car most daylight hours. It seems to guard our big holly tree (full of berries) which it uses for its winter pantry. Is this a silly interpretation from me? Noticed one last winter, too. @naturenymph.bsky.social

Beautiful mistle thrush perched on car window ledge. Is it guarding our well berried holly tree as its pantry against other birds?
