I have a garden peanut feeder for the birds.
For the last two nights something has pulled it off the branch it hangs on, opened it on the ground, and eaten the nuts.

I suspect a badger.

Should we call the Coastguard ?

Later.... 👍

Last time I ate there it was fish and chips accompanied by an uncommonly patient common gull.

I've just pumped up 6 tyres.

Those gulls do like a chip, don't they!! 😂

One dancer in hospital, seriously ill.

Not looking good.

Marmite and Bovril.

Both manufactured in the Devil's backside.

I was in a 44 tonne truck....

Yeh, I took that into account. I presume you didn't go via the road that goes through the reservoirs.

I read the original: it sounded like a career ending event for the dancers concerned.

The Stage Manager will have to answer a lot of very difficult questions, I suspect.

My mate Simon is well known for wearing an akubra hat. If he doesn't wear it, people don't recognise him

I splashed out on a Tilley, which I thought expensive, but I've been wearing it rather a lot. Worth the money.

Strictly A roads. Those other ones would be a bit tricky

The investigation's looking at the people who built the set it seems, and the material used. This screen was 4mx4m and weighed approx. 136kg.

Mr Cookiemonster, who is a Barrister, did say that there's almost certainly going to be criminal charges and a payout to the injured people that'll make their heads spin. HK does have very strict safety laws, on par with the UK/EU, and HK can be very litigious in these kind of cases.

Lunchtime stroll completed
Can I start to wind down to the weekend now ?

My smart gas meter is now communicating as it should with the company that initially denied installing it at the beginning of June. Also, there's a growing chance that the solar installation initially planned for the first week in July can happen in the next few weeks. Cats booked in for their vaccinations. It's all go for the mundane chez Hebe today.
