Here's an interesting fact.  Well, in passing.

If you have the Citroen roofbars that have the pentagonal allen key you can't get a replacement if you lose it.  The guys at the Citroen garage have assured me of this. Absolutely no way what so ever. Impossible.

Which is odd, because I bought one off ebay from a part supplier.

Completely knackered after 6 hours spent in the garden this afternoon.  There's an 8ft square spot at the bottom where a previous owner had hard standing with a shed we think.  When someone took the shed down, they just decided to cover over all the bricks/rocks/rubble with soil and leave it.  I'm sure I've pulled out enough bricks and junk today to rebuild the whole bloody thing. 

Plus they've had a half dozen trees in at some point, but in a similar act of laziness, when they took the trees down they only cut the stumps to groundlevel or thereabouts.  So the lawnmower hits them every time we cut the grass...    We've got three stumps out, three more to go tomorrow.

Once that's all done, I can finally level off the ground, re-soil it and plant some new grass.

And all of this is in a rented house, it's not even our garden!

It sounds like its time for Pendraken to hire another intern and to 'engage in any other duties as required'

SIX Hours !!!

Mrs T and I wandered around 3 of the fields looking for, and pulling/digging out any odd bits of ragwort we found. (A yearly chore that's pretty much under control,)
We were only out there for an hour and a half, at most....but were both cream crackered by the time we'd finished.

No wonder you were shattered, Leon. (Mind you...You do have the energy of youth.)

Why are you digging up ragwort?

Why are you digging up ragwort? 

'Cos it's a very nasty cumulative poison to the gee-gees, if they eat it.
They eventually die of liver failure.

Having said that....If they've got grass to chomp on, they won't touch the 'fresh' stuff at all.
Trouble is...If it's in hay (and dried) they won't notice it...But the poison's still potent.

Mrs Techno goes ape-poo if she finds any in any hay we buy in.

Regarding the illustrations.....They would be more appropriate for the 'magic mushrooms' that pop up in the fields in Autumn.

Garlic has the same effect on cats, by the way. It attacks their livers, and they have no way of purging it from their little systems, so it accumulates. You are not doing your kitty a favour if you give him a slice of roast lamb which has been flavoured the way the Good Lord intended. Even cutting a piece from the joint before spiking it with the divine bulb is a very bad idea if the same knife has been used for the flavouring first.

(Listen, you bloody computer, I said "flavour" and I meant it!)

[Techno]

That....I did not know.
(Though now, I haven't got any felines to worry about.)

How then, do you protect cats against vampires?

[Techno]

How then, do you protect cats against vampires?

They're blood suckers already.....So they don't need protecting. 
(I've had blood poisoning from cats on three occasions, so I speak from experience.  )
