Is anyone actually remotely surprised by this?

Never mind the carbs, macros and other bits and bobs we put into our bodies what with this and the potential issues over water quality we are in danger of looking the wrong way.

Hadn't seen that. I thought the intention was to raise our standards after Brexit. Silly me! Where is the original of that clip? I'd like to read it through.
 
Fbg 6.9

Nighttime wildlife video
This is mostly Boy Badger, born last year, and he visits my garden nightly, sometimes with his parents. And Foxy Loxy always visits at the same time as Boy Badger (and his parents)...

Creative...I used a previous kaleidoscope, that I liked, which was red, but it came out predominantly yellow in Kaleider, which I rather liked as it is a sunny day.

Birds need feeding.

Have a good day...

 
6.4 this morning when the geese flew south.
I wonder what they know and we don't?
Funnily enough, the flocks, I do mean hundreds of them in formation were following a passenger jet, until the plane turned left into JLA. The flocks(?) Just kept on south at just above roof level. Honk, honk!

One dayer v is at Trent bridge. So an eye on that, an eye on Mrs L having her lunch, an eye on the garden after yesterday afternoon necessary tidy up, plenty of insects all around. I even (I think) swallowed a spider and web, unintentionally of course. I tried to get rid but the filament just stuck there. I drank about ten litres (ish) had a juicy tomato, more water, more tea, it wasn't until I cleaned my teeth (again) that it finally went.
Yuk!
Mrs L was giggling.
Lovely day again today.

Ordered new trek dvd. Shh! Don't mention it to Mrs L.

Must go, he back later, chores, kitchen duty, hopefully, Mrs L has a nap.

My best wishes to you lot as always.
 
Those birds are blessed to have your care and attention. Thank you for sharing two more wonderful kaleidoscopes. I like the smaller one better but I'm an odd mark. I somehow can't see those videos of badgers and foxes without seeing the random ducks heads and missing chickens from our home.

Standards of improving live for all, ended firstly in the Thatcher years.
but the final nail in the coffin was brexit.
goods get checked going to the EU, they don't get checked coming in.
The smuggling gangs (Not the people in boats) are having a wonderful time,
The number of standards officers in local government has been cut by over a half, if not more, since 2010, under austerity and even more recent cutbacks.
this country, has literally, gone to the dogs.
Animals have more rights than children, women and workers, thanks to the tories.

An example....
a man in Liverpool, went on a bit of a bender.
he assaulted a couple.
he kicked a dog, a couple of times.
he was arrested.
The couple were fine.
The dog needed treatment
The attack of the dog landed him in the dock. And a fine.
The assault, drunk and disorderly charges, we're dropped, with a severe warning.

This is Britain.
And why haven't the organisers of the rioters been brought to court?
Answers to Sir whatever.......

Be'ave yourself man and respect the memory of Uncle Mac In the right context all 3 bolded are perfect. 300 plus on the cards in Nottingham.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs

When I lived on the farm as a child, my first job of the day was to go with a wicker basket to the horses paddock and pick mushrooms, along the path which was strewn with our freshly killed chickens by the fox. So, it was a gory mess. But it is life...
There was always a shotgun or two behind the kitchen door to deal with any fox that was seen.

But this is one reason I cannot keep quail any more, not with Foxy Loxy about...
 
That and rats since you now need a licence to buy enough rat poison. I also wonder how to dispose of the dirty coop bedding here. I used it on the garden back home. Raspberries especially seemed to flourish with it as a mulch.
 
You need to keep your mouth closed when in the garden @Lamont D
You have to in my garden otherwise the clouds of flying midges will enter...flying up nostrils is their next bit of fun...

Jack the terrier used to take care of the rat problem @ianpspurs
A bit of a messy affair where a dog is concerned. Cats presented them in a nice neat tidy row for you to dispose of...

But who else do you know of who sang about that old lady? I used to sing the song to Em and she used to love it - probably wouldn't now, her tastes are much more sophisticated than mine.
