I would just like to say

Today we made a bird table to add to the feeding station. Is just a round timber pole and a screw-bolt and a socking great slice of a birch tree fastened to the top.
Hopefully the ground-feeders and Pigeo-pirates can rock up to that and leave the little birds to have the tube feeders.

Your security light installation is much betterer than your naybors.

You are right. An edging can be added. We have a little brad-nailer for such tasks. And a small hazel thicket for the sticks to do it with.

Nite nite

Nite

Mornin all

I like working from home. I certainly don't miss the drive in! Whilst I obviously want the current situation to abate, I really don't want to go back to the office

Good morning. Overcast and a bit moist today, not cold though.

Mornin all.
Was watching the jet contrails in the sky last night.
Can't remember the last time I noticed them..

@My Old Landy ,
I don't think I'd be very good working from home. And with folks like you who do, the roads are clearer and my drive in is a pleasure. Win win..
Our lot of higher ups are definitely into this Zoom meeting lark, which is good.
They're not under my feet all the time

The heavy mist is lifting now as the sun burns it off, looks as if we are in for another warm one - pity really as I wanted to start my vehicle cleaning tasks.

It was only the little fellow who went out today but he had nicked the big 'uns Bonio which had been left in the mancave last night. What he is going to do with it I have no idea as he can't break them up and as he is not a digger then burying it is a non-starter. Never ceases to amaze me that he can crunch up the bones in his breakfast chicken wings but fails to break up a Bonio.

The woodpeckers are out in force on all peanut holders this morning so the little birds are all relegated to being observers.
Enjoy this lovely sunny day folks whatever you are doing.

Where we are, the planes are usually a plenty although always at high altitude but now there are very, very few. I assume the embargo on air travel into USA is the reason.
