Grumps of the day: After complaining about minimum alcohol prices earlier this week my Asda click and collect order failed to include any alcohol at all. A family member who works for a different supermarket of similar quality says that the staff don't bother going to get items off the shelves if the warehouse runs out so it's tough luck for anyone who doesn't want to risk going into the shop. 17 items were out of stock in all. I'm amazed that supply issues haven't been resolved yet as people stopped panic buying a long time ago from what I can see.
I've also discovered that someone is ripping leaves and twigs off my rowan tree in the front garden. It's close to the pavement but not overhanging so I guess someone is in the habit of grabbing it as they pass for the fun of shredding the leaves. I've grown that tree from a tiny seedling so I'm quite protective of it. Now I have to work out how to catch them doing it and find something long and pokey to give them a socially distanced telling off.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I'm thinking wildife cam will do the job but I need somewhere to mount it where it will be safe from theft (and where the neighbours won't see it and think I'm a creepy weirdo). There is also the possibility that it was a sheep

I'm quite bemused by what's in and out of stock in the supermarkets. This morning in Morrisons, they had flour, eggs, loo roll etc and the full range of tinned stuff, but no soy sauce at all (not even the expensive brands) and no fresh grapefruit.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Some plants are just plain unlucky. I planted a salvia last year and forgot it. I found it this year half dead under a geum and rescued it. Pot on the patio and nursed it back to health. I was just about to plant it out again when I accidentally knocked the main twig off. I've used the twig for cuttings and planted what was left of the plant in the ground. Maybe its luck will change😕

Is it possible to put the camera in a window facing the tree. If it's movement activated check that it does still activate.
SM click & collect. It does not really work for us, too many items missing when you can walk into the shop and get 98% of them. I suppose it helps in that we can just do a quick sweep to get the extras, but generally defeats the object if you are going into the shop anyway. We think we we are going to revert to our normal shopping, at least if something is missing from the shelves we can make a rational decision on a substitution.
