My clean out of the Hedgehog feeding station has reaped rewards ( for the field mice community ). No sign of hedgehogs yet. Had news that " Tripod " the 3 legged hedgehog has recovered from injury and has been released into a sheltered garden habitat somewhere in Dorset.

Good morning all.
Drizzle and rain in for the day.
Good sleep last night. Woke at 5 and debated getting up but decided to try again and got another 2+ hours.
I was sure what i am doing but I've lost my car key. The spare went missing when I moved into the flat and now I can't find the main one. I will have another search when I am more awake.

Morning.
Grey, damp, the usual.
If it dries up and it's delivered early enough I'll be installing a new satellite dish on side of garage for Freesat. The old one failed so I took it down yesterday. What should be a fairly straightforward job is tricky due to access. I wanted it on garage so out of sight so it's above oil tank so awkward to work on. Health and Safety? Never applies at home....

Found my car key . My SiL was sorting some cables out and it was among them.
I must get a spare cut but they are so expensive, especially when I just know my real spare will turn up as soon as the replacement is cut.

Look upon it as then having an extra spare key. Belt and braces and all that.

Good morning. Phew! Another reasonable looking day. The sort I'd go riding in. This is despite the dire warnings from the Met Office. At least their consistent.........consistently wrong.

A good day with #2SP yesterday and #3 is full of beans this morning. Here we go.......👋

Halfrauds!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬

My car lights have been getting steadily worse, dimmer and dimmer in recent months. I've been at a loss on this. This morning I popped into my local garage, first name terms, social friends etc. and service both cars.

Brian took a quick look. "These bulbs aren't fitted correctly." Voila! Problem solved. Both bulbs had been fitted by a Halfrauds technician.

Brian tells me I can get better bulbs and if I do he'll pop them in. He said he had one customer with a bulb so badly fitted the housing melted. His final remark was never let Halfrauds fit ANYTHING!! We see this every day. 😲
