    Well jokes on him, I was already awake as my son has some kind of viral throat infection and hasn't slept much all week :D and the owner/s obviously care enough to fit them with bells on their collars so that's something. I've been enjoying watching a wood mouse stealing bird food this morning and a vole collecting nesting material from around the stone wall so I'd hate to see them getting killed.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I thought I had the national collection of pernicious weeds in my garden @DyersEnd but I don't usually get thistles thank goodness. They would need proper thick gloves! Annoying to be ignored by a cat - so rude, the robin gave me a look which implied I should just keep digging and stop moaning. Probably got the missus on his back about the kids' tea.

    Glad you managed it @islander but not a good idea to go outside in your nightie at that cold time of morning - next time we expect to hear that you at least put a coat on!!

    I just sold my Landrover :( I needed to sell it and got more than I hoped for without even advertising it but still I'm sad to see it go and it was a really useful truck for garden stuff so it feels like cutting off a leg.

    Someone is supposed to be coming to buy my car tomorrow too and then I will have to buy a sensible car. :|

    And when you're old and baldy you can buy an open-topped sports car.
