Sounds reasonable but l would never get the french to help and l just don't have the time to carry out that method of control. I have four horses and four dogs to keep happy ! It is a shame because the habitat is unspoiled and vast in area but it is inhabited by predators like wild boar (loads of them) ,foxes and a variety of birds of prey. All of which make it a fascinating region in which to live l must admit.

Pity there is no equivalent to the Cats Protection League (la ligue de protection des chats, peut-etre?) over there ... I wasn't suggesting you do it yourself, that would be unreasonable. They're not your cats after all.

Feral (or, preferably, for everyone's health and comfort, semi-feral) cats in the right numbers, the right place and under the right conditions - and neutered - are a brilliant aid when hobby-farming, larger scale gardening, housing livestock, poultry-keeping etc - but are a menace to native wildlife if in the wrong place and especially the wrong numbers (and if not neutered they soon will be in the wrong numbers)...

P.S. The apple sauce was three Bramleys from the garden, two random foraged apples from a nearby hedgerow, plus three Dr Harveys and one Lord Burleigh from the community orchard.

Took my pulse earlier, returned a resting rate of 39.

I had tinned tomatoes on toast for breakfast.

I had Crunchy Nut cornflakes


Followed by sausages, bacon, scrambled egg, beans, toast and then a slice of lemon drizzle cake. My little treat when I have a night away is to go with the full cooked breakfasts the following morning

my Dad used to like to tell us kids, that one time he mistook Brylcreem for toothpaste

He mistook this

for this!

Did you never question how?

To save few pounds on the fare, I'd booked the train that left Nottingham 1 hour after the usual one, giving me an extra hour to wander around the city centre doing nothing apart from looking around and enjoying the unusually warm and sunny morning. This also left me with over an hour to kill at Peterborough, but there's bugger all to do there and I ended up getting home a coupe of hours later than normal. I'm not sure getting home later is worth the fiver saved, especially as I had to go straight back out and get some rolls for tea and milk for tomorrow's breaksfast.

The overnight bag has been relieved of the smalls that need washing and clean smalls packed ready for Thursday's trip to Leeds.

Any safety net used?

I had to mop the floor when I had finished.

Might explain how the two were mixed up then. Wondered how the two, very different, containers could be mixed up.

Juicy pear I take?

Been taking a gander at mobile phones this evening. Have decided to not go for a refurbished one, as most of what's in my (original) budget is around five years old, which will leave me in the same place as my Samsung S2 sooner rather than later.

Thinking the Motorola g31 is looking like an attractive proposition. It's a teensy bit over budget, but I can swing to that if it gives me more longevity. Does Google Pay which is useful too. And John Lewis do a 2 year guarantee and free delivery / click & collect.

On the list to replace my g10. The screen is bust. It jumped off my bike.

In truth the g10 is fine and not sure the 31 is worth the extra. For my use anyway.

 

[Gwylan]

Oh, I forgot to mention that the Motorola g31 has fingerprint recognition on the power switch, so that's useful. Although the reviews say it's a bit of a PITA for left-handers...

Hey ho, that's all in a day's work, being a leftie.

Not true, in my experience.

The funny Google button needs disabling at the first chance.
The finger recognition thing is a pain, I think.

The g31 is the replacement for the g10 from what I've read. Could've gone down a level to the e20 or e30, but the g31 has somewhat better reviews from the techy type publications. Any of those would do me to be fair.

It was something that came up in a couple of reviews. I guess it's one of those things that requires a certain knack, and until you've tried it, there's no way of saying one way or another. Neither issue is a deal breaker though.

Anyways, I need a
