The color of my cat. The color of my walls, for that matter. Garden lighting. Meteor showers. Whether or not you've dusted the windowsills. How many candles are on my birthday cake.

I'd give anything to see colours. I don't think all the things on this list are entirely thought out.

Your new tattoo. Whether the carpet is patterned or plain. Which bored white guy is reading the news on telly. Whether everyone else is dancing. However, all these things are important if I'm married to you.

She was NOT impressed!! More than cheesed off..... She happens to be an active and successful birder, so birds DO matter.

But must admit for me most of this list misses the mark. Like others I find the bird comment particularly puzzling. They are so vocal and a constant presence year round in my life. I always take note of them and feel a deep and abiding affection for them and their lovely song and cheerful chatter.

He still can't solve it!

Walking around and hearing them sing, twitter and chat to each other enhances an otherwise boring walk through parks, woods etc. early morning bird song changes with the season: spring and summer would not be the same without bird song. hooray for tactile name badges, yes please!
