Was it in this thread that we saw the disappearing rat video? :whistle:

Oh, @PaulSB - in case you didn't spot it earlier... You do cryptic crosswords, don't you? Would you explain this one to me:
I’m usually not too bad at them but damned if I can see the logic in that one either. :laugh:
 
Another wander done, a bit later than usual. I quite like dawn and dusk. Nice getting in just before the darkness comes down.

Another night of poor tv. It’s been rubbish lately. I will either browse and play games on the iPad or search Prime for a film.
I have not done a dark walk to see the Christmas lights around the village as yet

I see Boris is supposed to be making an announcement at 5. Joy! :laugh: Don’t know what channel as The Repair Shop is on 1. I won’t be rushing to find out.
 
Been listening to a couple of fascinating episodes of Scotland Outdoors, one an interview with a prof at Scotland’s Rural College about the 30% contribution to climate change of food production, the other with a lady from West Lothian who has just survived an entire year eating only what could be foraged off the land. Both very thought provoking.

I must confess that I've gotten to the point that I find I am heartily sick of Covid and find it totally tedious. Be nice to have something different to fret about.
My neighbor and I walked a mile or so to a nearby coffee place heading into 30 mph wind. It was kinda fun staggering around like a couple of elderly drunks. It was about 15C so it wasn't cold.
Mrs 12 is a definite foodie and last night we watched a Nathan Fillion flick..Waitress. Not too serious, had a great supporting cast, and lots of pies. We like pies. Nice respitefrom the abundant BS around us.
WD, I take it you haven't heard about the invasion of Morphing Rats that use an ultrasonic squeal that messes with your brain waves to make them seem like innocous objects, leaves for example. I've heard some politicians are injecting themselves with their stem cells so they can appear to be innocent creatures as well.
As usual the high winds of the last few days has been replaced by moderate wind and snow. In a few I'll slip on my winter bike togs and see how the Brompton does with the studded snow tires l put on recently but haven't tried due to the wind.
Be safe and well and avoid shapeshifting rodents.
