Nice quiet evening watching the snooker and then the Guy Martin great escape thing.

Now sat back with a last before I go catch some zzzzzzzz in a while.

We heard him rummaging for peanuts in my waste paper basket as we were enjoying our pork joint. We crept up the stairs and eventually he shot out of his hiding place and disappeared through a crack in the skirting.
Well, a formal declaration of war has been made, the traps are baited, and his days are numbered. Silly boy.

I could lend you Madam Lexi. She's really quite adept...

I can't really blame him for invading. It was cold and windy when I went out on the bike earlier this evening. I just wish he and his pals would stay out of sight and earshot, somewhere under the floor boards. Lord knows, there are plenty of warm pipes down there to snuggle up to.

Lexi has bagged two in the house, and I've bagged seven in the garage with the traps I set.

Thank you for your kind offer. I'm not sure if Lexi is a ferret, a cat, or a Jack Russell, but this a war in which I'd rather not use proxies.

It's personal now.....

I imagined @Andy in Germany had gone the full Les Hiddins (aka The Bush Tucker Man).

Not quite. More like this: they're extremely effective at keeping the rain off, although they can be a bit of a liability in high winds.

fortunately at my usual speeds thais isn't a problem.

PS: I had a hair cut this weekend.

Morning.
There seems to be a bit of a lull in the weather at the moment . There is clear sky above our house and I can see a bright glow on the horizon to the East . However there are some large storm clouds lurking around the corner .

Who has ousted Peter Purves ?

Morning, goodness, I’m tired!

And me after that blustery 23 mile ride this morning , good job back in bed now

 

[Andy in Germany]

I only managed 12k this morning.

It's getting blustery here too; there's a red weather warning up for later in the day.

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

The wind has a definite bite to it this morning. Hat and gloves went on.

 

[EltonFrog]

Just been for a 3 mile run, blumen windy it is.

 

[Illaveago]

Bright ⛅ sunshine here at the moment .

 

[Illaveago]

I have been out on my bike as it is nice and sunny. A bit gusty though !
I first cycled to my doctor's to pick up a prescription and then cycled over to Corsham and back via the Roebuck. I have now done 700 miles for the year.

 

[Reynard]

Bright and blustery here, and rather nippy.

I have spent the morning writing all my Xmas cards - they'll hit the post tomorrow as I have to go past the Post Office on my way to do my CP volunteering.

Neither Poppy nor Lexi have ventured outside, and I have caught another mouse in the garage.
