I've replaced the filter in my water filter jug.

It's time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

The girls have beef mince, and I have bitsas from the fridge. That's how we roll here.

I think the only people who email me these days are Spammers telling me my Apple account has been locked and Booking.com trying to persuade me to book hotels in places I am not legally allowed to travel to.

Love Mel Brooks! History of the world Part one and Spaceballs are superb films.

I think that Daisies smell of cheesy feet, so why would you name a perfume after them ?

 

[Kempstonian]

In theory. But teazles spread like blazes in rich soil, and the spikes on the stems are rather vicious. As I discovered when mum planted them, and then later, muggins had to eradicate them.

I still have a two inch scar on my hand where a spike not only shredded my glove, but also, in the process, me.

Ah. I did say THEY will thank you. To a human teazels are a real pain (literally). Goldfinches on the other hand are supposed to love them. I don't have any here but they go mad for the Niger seeds - in fact they are the only birds that will eat them. I have sunflower hearts mixed in with my normal bird seed but I've never seen the goldfinches eat them.

When I first moved here in 2007 I used to get flocks of greenfinches but its rare that I see any now. I can't even remember the last time I saw one.

Why is it, when I go out walking and the ground everywhere is rock hard (like today), I find the one bit which isn't and my foot goes plunging into ice cold mud?

'Tis the Law of Sod mate!

That's advanced mundaneness. Are you sure you're qualified?

Never had any luck with niger seed - it just gets ignored.

I've given up on the bird feeders because I'm sick of the squirrels and rats trashing the whole shebang. Although I did derive a LOT of amusement by greasing the feeder pole...

Still no collection.

Most collections cancelled for the whole week round here.

Does nobody else clear the path in front of their house any more, or have they succumbed to the fear of being sued if someone slips on the cleared path (which is probably a myth anyhow)?

Out for a ride this afternoon and all the paths in the residential areas appeared to be still snow & ice covered with the attendant slip risk.

Used to clear the road, clearing one side, with the snow going on the pavement.
Stopped when others started parking where it had been cleared.

I am waiting for glue to dry.
