The Purple Sunbird
The Purple Sunbird. Though found all over the Indian subcontinent, the scientists say that its movements are not clearly understood (they could be talking about me 😂).

Winter is Coming
She had done alright, she thought, looking at her partner of many years. He had kept himself well and had proved a good father and a good mate, if a bit of an airhead. But that couldn’t be helped. His beauty would always come in the way of any real need for self-improvement. He still [...]
