Nothing happens round here, I do sometimes why I bother to get out of bed

Suppose we get someone to knock on your door then leg it?

It is what it is. They killed and ate all of our big koi that we brought with us from Brum years ago.

It can't get all the fish. It takes out the bigger ones.

It's the price you pay for having a pond.

It not only Otters and Herons that like Koi carp.

We used to have a tiny tabby cat.
He regularly used to bring home large Koi carp out of one of our neighbours ponds.
What made it worse is I used to work at Peugeot with this neighbour and he was always moaning about the Herons taking his best fish 😀😂

I do hate Herons. Nasty things

A beautiful, handsome bird but they look evil.
A few years ago one got tangled in the netting over our pond. I had to free it, very scary.

Weather impact 7.6%. Headwind 17.5 - 34.8mph. I think that qualifies for a touch more than 7.6%!

46 miles, 3800 feet, 12.3avg. Even Mrs P said "I did think about you."

7.6% more like 76%

Spring seems to be well and truly underway here. In recent days we have heard skylarks, seen a butterfly and a bumblebee, and today I noticed some black-headed gulls. The daffodils in the garden haven’t quite managed to come into flower yet but they look as if they are just days away.

A nice walk down to the chine. Arrived at granddaughter’s school in good time. We’re having Halloumi and chips from the highly regarded “Chez Fred “ 👍

3 out of 4 on the quordle again today, seems about normal for me, I've only got 4 out of 4 once so far.

Our fellow thread-dwellers may not quite appreciate the significance of that bridge being blocked. Here is a map showing the diversion...!

PS You can see why the lorry drivers want to use the bridge. If they are on the south side and need to make one delivery just over on the north side, they have a 280 km round trip to do it if they can't use the bridge!

My son lives near the wide bit of the arrow head so you can understand my fury and frustration at having to make that detour. When I got round to the road junction at the northern end of the bridge it was still closed. Would have been worse if it was open.
