    The jackdaws around here would have been into that in 10 minutes. I swear one of them has an angle grinder.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I wonder how the pigeons here manage to fly, they are sooo fat, they waddle! My husband scares them off by clapping, the neighbours probably think we are applauding them!

    I have managed to splint a good few plants with nearly broken stems using small twigs and parcel tape. It's well worth a try. They seem to be able to repair themselves quite easily.

    So I wanted to mount the solar panels for my pond pump on a pole, rather than prop them on the ground, where they get less sun and are a pain to move round with the sun direction. The cost was pretty eye watering, two portable TV brackets at less than a tenner each however...

    I thought that was what the thread was! Sorry for hijacking it then! Loving the umbrella btw, it reminds me of dew harvesting

    It is turning into that, which is brilliant, I just posted it for a laugh really while having a cuppa... got half a bucket of rainwater though lol! We can’t install butts until the shed goes in and we can’t put the shed in until we move the rubble, can’t move the rubble...you get the picture lol!

    I get the picture! I’d have finished renovating my house by now if I could just fix that squeaky hinge and get on to the next job
