Time to make a and then settle down to watch MOTD.

Yes, it was men digging up the pavement by using a jack hammer and digger, and the drills and who knows what. Not forgetting the noise of the vehicles like the tipper truck unloading tarmac, and the roller tamping down the tarmac. "Tarmac" is a brand name, should I call it asphalt?

With the jackhammer, over 100db, it can be the repeated vibrations that cause the damage.
Try and get some time away from the source.

That was why I tried to get out into the garden, as far away as possible from the noise and vibrations. They have now finished digging up the pavements, and taken away all the big red barriers, and all the metal plate put over the channels where they working on or near driveways.

Today was the first day in three weeks that there was peace and quiet. The men were very friendly and helpful in moving the barriers. Last week on bin day they went along the street and collected all the bins into one place.

No! Before anyone says it they were not good good good vibrations!

And it has just started to rain
Lightning ⚡ around and some thunder

Still can't get over the amount of money and heartache the couple involved with last night's showing of Grand designs went through , must admit the end result was nice and had fantastic views but even so was it worth it ?

First cuppa went down well
Garden birds have been fed
Thunder and lightning still doing a show outside

We have very wet and windy here. Not sure I fancy even walking. I’ll see how I feel after my cuppa.

Fairly clear skies this am. sun hasn't quite got up from behind the hills and tree tops but looks like a good day ahead for a bike ride.

Morning.
You may think that what is going on in government is shocking but that is nothing compared with what is going on in our back place !

Georgie has brought one of his friends in . I just saw him come in with something in his mouth . He dropped it on the floor and it immediately ran for cover ! I just caught a glimpse of it , it looked quite big and fat. Not sure if it is a large mouse or a small rat !
I had flash backs of a mouse running up inside my trouser leg ! So I put my socks over them . I have shut the back place so that nobody can go in there and set the mouse trap up .

Glad I have an indoor cat!

In some respect i am glad we have no cat , but we do miss our old boy at times

 

[Illaveago]

The little bu993r is as happy as Larry! He has gone up to bed !

I don't know what the rodent is as I'm a bit blurry eyed at the moment . It looked big ish for a mouse and small for a rat . All I know is that it squeaked when it ran under a cupboard .

Morning. Boostered arm is a bit sore. I’m wondering if my running clothes are dry yet, though given the weather outside it probably doesn’t really matter.

 

[Jameshow]

How the day looks! Full!

Raining here .
I have just been up to fill up our bird feeders . The Goldfinches seem to be emptying them quite well at the moment . I saw a large flock of them the other day . We usually get a small flock of 5. Could explain why they are emptying so fast .
I was thinking about the different attitudes of cats . When I was young we used to have 2 cats , mother and daughter. You would occasionally hear a scream from my mum as she found a dead rat that one of our cat's had brought in to help with the household budget! A few years later we had another cat Tibby . I would sometimes be greeted by her silently meowing to me through the window as I drew back the curtains in the morning . She would have the hind legs of a rabbit in her mouth! A friend who owns a farm says that his farm cats are just happy to sit around and watch the rats running about without even getting up .
