Be a careful a small lonely boy and a group of insect friends don't move into one of them and fly off to New York attached to seagulls.

I have confidence in my guardcats. When they're awake.

A field that I know which used to have ponds which contained Great Crested Newts is up for sale . So the Newts will have to keep an eye out for planning application notices going up and then demand an Ecological Survey.

Newtonian Laws?

Sight-seeing dog...

[QUOTE 5331800, member: 21629"]Let him into the water and then take him home immediatelly. You'll see so called "quick drying dog". [/QUOTE]
He's been in that river several times this week, I think he is half duck the enjoyment he gets from being wet

Got back from the walk just in time, pouring it down again now...

I've just come back from a 4 mile cycle ride. I had gone out to test a repair I had made to a saddle. I had removed the old torn vinyl cover and replaced it with a piece of Chamois leather .
I came across a crossroads where some Policemen were checking out a road accident . I stopped to have a look and ask the chap if one car had come straight out of the side without stopping. He said that it looked like it .It was where some idiot tried doing it to me !
Anyway ! Whilst looking at the cars I noticed that they were both the same make and model and then that they were both last year's model.
I continued on my ride, thinking that the saddle felt better than the other painful one .

I have got the last batch of cheese on the go. Waiting for the whey to finish draining, and then I can mix it with salt, parsley, chives and garlic.

A rare contribution of mundaneness from me.

I've just been strimming the weed and shrub infested trench in my back yard.

Two things of note.

I found a newish football under one of the shrubs - it must have been booted over my yard wall and landed there unseen by me until now - it's marked UEFA Champions League Final Cardiff 2017.

Second thing was my strimmer ran out of strim, and I was able to put my hand on the new reel I bought for it at least five years ago.

Anyone for soccer?

Drier weather allows it, ploughing, to be done earlier than usual.

I think I have a family of hedgehogs in my garden. One just crawled past my feet.

It's a little difficult to see but it's right in the centre of the frame.

Four pints of milk gives me a pound of cheese on the nose.

Added a teaspoon of sea salt, three cloves of garlic, plus a generous handful of parsley and chives from the garden. Cost to me? 46p. And it's totally lush, so much nicer than the ghastly muck that's labelled as cottage cheese...

Would've made a delightful cheesecake if I'd omitted the above flavourings, and combined with eggs, cornflour, vanilla and sugar. Maybe next time...

 

[Gravity Aided]

I now have seven baby tomatoes.

They have a lot of growing to do, because they're the sort that grow to the size of a small planet. Allegedly.

Radiator Charlie/Mortgage Lifter?

He's not blue, is he? Looks rather brown. It's not sick. or gone off, or something, is it?
This is my only concept of a hedgehog, BTW. Being from the States, we don't have them here.

I have been bitten by mosquitoes.
