How are we getting through it?

Only ever see them nicking peanuts a few yards from our back door.....But the instant that they see movement....they're off.

Very pretty birds but a very awkward flight as if they're still learning.

[Techno II]

Such a shame that they allegedly take eggs from the smaller birds' nests, Steve.
Bloody corvids....Hey, ho.....that's nature.

Cheers - Phil.

They had a bad rep amongst the hunty-shooty types and had been persecuted for years.
However, they are largely responsible for acorn planting that grows our mighty oaks, so are being encouraged again.

Occasionally saw 'Jays' when 'wardening' in Gateshead area 1980's. No idea which variant. Have not seen any local, North of Tyne. Have seen Kingfishers in local Park, though... but VERY briefly!!!

Today's winner in the 'Now, that's a Bit Awkward category, we have a rabbit digging a brood burrow slap-bang in the middle of our onion bed, which is within twenty feet of our back door. 

[Techno II]

That's a bit of a pain !

Only time I take any notice of the rabbits around here, is if they dig a really big/deep hole in one of the fields.
As a hole that size could cause a broken leg on one of the gees, I just fill them in with rocks.

Cheers - Phil.

Lovely! Rabbit to casserole with your onions.

If I had a warren in my garden I would encourage them. Could then harvest the odd one for the pot.

!!! RESPECT !!! They are far to fast for me to get NEAR them with a rock!

I'm only capable (JUST) of being speedier than slugs and snails, now.

Second Covid jab into my stick-like arm, a couple of hours ago.......HUZZAH !.....(Still didn't get a sweetie, for being a brave boy, and not crying.)

Fielded a phone-call from a certain member of the forum, this morning, with "Pembrokeshire weather centre."..which made him laugh. ....It's truly frigging awful here, at the mo'
Mark, (Orcs) made me laugh, by trying to pronounce the village where Von & I 'shop', locally.

Mark....Just get to 'Eggysulu' safely, chum.
Hope you get to read this. ....See you in the next few days, my friend.

All good things - Phil

Sure your'e not being chased by Welsh Racing snails Phil. Talking to fellow invigilators it can take up to 9 hours for side effects on your second jabs to come through, heres hoping none.

Local weather ugh - not heavy rain but won't go away.

I've retired - so have worked every day this week, mostly catholic girls schools.

[Techno II]

Hmmmm.....

Ian ....I've got no 'proper' evidence....or whether it's simply 'wot folk say'(sic)....BUT...I was 'informed' that if you had no reaction to the first jab (That's me ).....You stand a better chance of feeling like a pile of poo, after the second.

Feeling fine, at the mo'.....I'll see what I feel like tomorrow.

Seriously....If I feel a bit 'poop' tomorrow....that'll be fine by me.

Cheers - Phil.

[Steve J]

Hmmm, can someone please confirm we are in late May, as the weather has been bloomin' awful here today, with heavy rain on and off and gale force winds .

My second jab was over a week ago and I had no side effects whatsoever and my arm didn't hurt unlike the first jab .

There seems to be a 'bug' going around here at present, with lots of people with sore throats and then some with rather dicky tummies. I've got the latter and felt really rough today, but feeling on the mend now, famous last words...

[Ben Waterhouse]

I have to say it was F-wording freezing and wet at the jabbing centre this morning...

[Techno II]

Weather bod was saying it was much more like Autumn than Spring yesterday.......Still absolute pants, in Pembrokeshire this morning.

Haven't had a single side effect from the jab....Not even a sore arm.
I felt a tiny bit 'washed out' last night.....But that was probably down to 'the excitement' of having the second jab.

Weird.....Actually looking forward to having an injection.

Cheers - Phil.
