The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Well, she turned really paranoid and kept accusing me of having an affair. She was punishing me for an affair I'd never had so I thought sod it, may as well enjoy the upside then.

And having scratched that itch I left her. Things were becoming so oppressive I was worried I was going to thump her. I'm not that kind of person and never want to be, so I walked while I still had some dignity left.

Fortunately the new improved, lower mileage, much younger model Mrs D is really chilled. We're totally different personalities and don't actually have much in common, yet somehow we just click and the relationship is really loving and comfortable. We've never had so much as a raised voice between us, and long may it remain that way. Much happier now.

Morning all, a bit late on parade today. Nice and sunny here this morning, but going to turn a bit rainy later on. I am looking forward to Pancakes later, some with just lemon juice and sugar, some with sliced bananas and maple syrup or golden syrup.

So far this year about Mr WD has found about 100 dead frogs beside the pond. The only thing left are the heads and skin.the culprit is an otter. At least while he is eating frogs, he is leaving the fish alone.

That must be soooo annoying. Yes, its doing what is natural but still annoying.
Our problem is herons........one of the b*ggers took 3 of my biggest fish last year.
I have now heron-proofed it.

It is but at least they leave the fish alone. Most of the big carp we had are gone because of the otter. I hate herons. Horrible birds although they do have a part to play. The one bird i hate with a vengance are cormerants. Nasty birds that just take as much as they can. So much in fact that often they can hardly take off they are so heavy with fish.

If you take a gander outside, in ten minutes or so, there'll be one winging it's way your way.

We watched one off Anglesey a few years ago. It caught a massive eel and we thought "no chance". It took him over 30 minutes to get it down but it somehow managed. It then took it several attempts to take off.

Both, but I doubt the non winged want wanging.
