    Thanks for birthday wishes everyone. Unfortunately I don't keep cake in the house @AnniD - I'd be too inclined to eat it!
    The sun's now come out and the children have phoned so I'm more cheerful now.
    I think I just got a horrid shock, my friend had been a hale and hearty farmer's wife when we last met so I must go and see her soon if she's up to it.

    I thought of chicken wire doors @Hostafan1 but 10ft wide would be rather awkward.
    I have pegged down plastic wire mesh all along my bark mulch paths which the cats don't like much, would that work in the polytunnel?  I didn't realize you had neighbours, I thought you lived in the middle of nowhere!

    Happy Birthday Lizzie27.  Did I tell you my hip is killing me and I strained my back putting the mower in the back of car?  Have a great day :D

    We're beset by a belligerent wind today. It's been flouncing through the garden upsetting pots and throwing things about like a stroppy teenager. No matter where I put things to get some shelter it finds a way in there and scatters them about again.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    One or more large seagulls wheeling over the house.  It/they do it one at a time so I can't tell.
    We have our own pests in London. It is a moral duty of you coast dwellers to discard half eaten takeaways to preserve these protected birds . We have our own foxes, rats  etc to feed with these culinary delights.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    The oven light bulb failed.  I bought a replacement - right sized screw thread, and it won't screw in.  
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Had a blazing row with the old man.  He usually goes to bed at 9, because he gets up at 5, (or earlier) to go to work.  I put the ITV News on, he rants about the News, anything to do with the virus, oh boy, he was going on and b****y on, He said a very rude word at me.  I turned it off, waiting for him to go to bed.  Open plan bungalow, so he can hear it, and see it from the bathroom,(walks around cleaning his teeth).  He came back in the lounge asked if I was going to sit staring at a blank screen.

    Your maths are faulty.  Nine is 10 too many!
