if "they" don't listen to human advice what chance has a computer ?

You are right there, but maybe the new round of marches and protests this year will begin to get through to the knuckleheads.

Thanks for cherry juice information. Got some for my son and we are trying it out. It is a nice drink anyway

better chilledalso good for gout and other ailments apparently

Perhaps it will keep mine at bay then

Websailor

it's squirts of wd40 in my joints what I need

Well that is said to work too, so why not I am worse in the cold and damp

Websailor

I've got a sort of tennis elbow (a strain)in left arm. the only thing I carry is shopping

I use a trolley for my shopping after I nearly did damage to my back. Trouble is I can get a lot in and buy too much

Our little friends are turning their noses up at the food at the moment. The only reason I can think of is that maybe it is freezing

up Not much I can do about that!

Websailor

put less out at the moment then maybe, so it doesn't go bad if they're not eating it

Some time over the last two nights they cleaned the dish to a shine, so i think the food must have been frozen

Websailor

they'll be wanting a microwave next then

I've asked the Council but they have run out of budget Snow might be heading our way by the weekend so I might try putting the dish under cover for them, they will soon nose it out

Today has been spookily quiet in the garden, hardly a bird in sight, I think the sparrowhawk might be around


Websailor

Had more Long Tailed Tits at lunchtime - they are such a tonic - full of life. Just don't know how they survive in these freezing temperatures.

Websailor

now and again down the street around the "circle" shops, I see a pied wagtail small and couldn't give a bugger about folk around"I'm on a food hunt"

We get them round here. People don't notice them and they have no fear of feet or wheels!


I know when the weather is really bad as they appear in my back garden, I even get yellow ones occasionally.

Websailor

too many local s round here, to allow birds to call often

does nature get any stranger ??

We are crawling with s here too but thankfully most of them have maatured and can't be bothered any more

not around a lot as still hospital visiting.

Websailor

PS that photo was stunning and is apparently genuine. Brilliant!
