I am accessing blogger through an anonymizer right now and it does load, but it looks as if blogger was ISP-blocked or barred from being accessed from a Spanish IP. Readers from other countries may be experiencing the same issue.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-83309394503545902532017-04-09T20:33:35.942+01:002017-04-09T20:33:35.942+01:00I long to give it a little hat with corks round th...I long to give it a little hat with corks round the brim.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-84432868934397016042017-04-09T19:31:42.308+01:002017-04-09T19:31:42.308+01:00Poor pestered Little Owl.
