    Why was your wife in the garden at 11.00 pm on such a cold night?

    Welcome to the corner @NorthernJoe. Take it easy. What if you injured your other arm? Then you'd be really stuffed..😟
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Definitely bull in a China shop approach going on. Can't help it,Β  it's my nature.Β  Once I start... I started before the injury just got too busy to finish at that point. Only has time after injury.

    I like the physical stuff and I get obsessed. I know it's wrong but it feels right.Β  :):smile: I'm paying for it right now though dull ache waking me up at night. Lesson learnt... until the weekend that is.

    This large stump is ugly and too much for us. Over a foot down and still a big lump. Wouldn't surprise me if the other end is growing in new Zealand it's that deep!!!Β

    @NorthernJoe definitely in the right place.Β  If you weren't it would give us something to be curmudgeonly about anyway. :D

    Just had a moan elsewhereΒ  about but seeing the more glamour wildlife like our son did.Β  He saw a fox and I only see a vole and a wood pigeon. Not as lucky with the wildlife.Β

    Gotta love a vole @NorthernJoe :) ... and the cooing of woodpigeons on a summer day as I sat on a bank under an old pollarded ash, reading Lord of the Rings when I was 11 is a memory that'll stay with me for ever ............. that's not really very curmudgeonly is itΒ  :|

    It is when the pigeon is eating all the bird feed! Where is that air rifle?!

    Not serious,Β  but I'd love to not see it again. It's scaring the various toys,sparrows and finches away.Β

    You need feeders with a cage around them
    so that the pigeons learn that the only place they can find food is on the ground below the feeders ... not the feeders themselves.Β

    Pigeons have got to be the most hopeful of birds. The little birds have been ignoring the feeder for a few days but the pigeons are forever grubbing about under the feeder. Ever hopeful.

    I was just looking back through photos from this time last year and it was so hot in early April that I had all my succulent houseplants outdoors to enjoy the sun every day. Today the snow hasn't even thawed in some places. :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
