    I'm changing the subject (probably temporarily) by having a whinge at the jackdaw family, who clearly think it's fun to whip the labels out of my plant trays and pots and scatter them round the garden.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    I bet they watch and snigger as you try to work out where they go😊

    If only it were just the labels @Liriodendron ... the starlings are pulling the seedlings out of all the trays here 🌱

    Oh dear, Dove...
    You're right about the snigger, B3

    It's oddly reassuring that even NASA can't predict the weather.

    Have given up watching the BBC, for that very reason.

    I just had to climb into my duvet cover to sort out a twisted duvet😠
    Is it beyond human ingenuity to invent a duvet cover that can be fitted without wrestling it into submission?😠
    Ive tried the clothes peg trick. That doesn't work. You end up with two pegs at the far corners of a half filled duvet cover.
    How about an inflatable cover? That would dispense with the duvet altogether.or buttons at the bottom and along one side? Then you could open the cover, lay the duvet flat inside and do up the buttons.

    My wife has refused to fit a duvet cover in all the years we've been together. Luckily I must have been bitten by a radioactive duvet cover as a baby so I now have the superpower of being able to fit one with minimal fuss. Even a king sized is no match for me.

    My grump is the usual weekend parties are all in full swing including the DJ blasting crap wedding music loud enough for the whole town to enjoy it. No distancing going on and loads of houses having visitors and all hugging and kissing.
