Wednesday: dig a hole and bury it

Wheelspinner

This refers to the remains of the rabbit the dog caught. Good girl!

Also will be good fertiliser for the tree we're planting on the remains. Big hole dug, soil mixed, tree positioned just so...

In other news, picked up a handlebar for the Cervelo today, carbon lovely.

On the train, more of the same in the morning then stuck in a meeting room for most of the afternoon. Possible early finish with a crafty cider afterwards though. Then a spot of packing for the trip up North tomorrow.

Didn’t check the toe tag, hard to tell. There’s dozens of the critters in the garden, means the dog is never short of exercise or snacks. Think she’s learned to leave the echidna alone however.

Morning, sunny and bright here although a tad windy. Bikes after work which should be good, might enter a race in Ft William as a break from work

Morning, sunny but dark skies looming, ex Hurricane Dorian making itself known.

WS mine has no idea what to do with animals, it found a stunned pigeon in the garden once. didn't know what to do with it so proceeded to bring it her favourite toy then lay on the poor bird. Hedgehogs she's learnt to leave alone though.

My hound is generally terrified and intrigued by live animals in equal measures. Frogs are an immense conundrum for him. I've thrown dead pheasants for him in the past and he is very intense about them due to his previous training (in the same way he is for his toys) but if they don't move he leaves them alone. I have caught him rolling in dead animals in the past through. Tw4t.

Ours appears to treat the rabbits with disdain. Will often just sit on the balcony watching rabbits in the garden with no apparent concern, but occasionally decides they need to be reminded who’s boss.

Chases possums enthusiastically too, but they cheat and climb trees.

Bar pigeons, hedgehogs and squirrels most other garden invaders tend to be larger round my way. Badgers, foxes and deer usually. Apparently there used to be Boar in the wood but thankfully they are now gone.

Hogs she just avoids, frogs an toads she will bark at and then run away, squirrels she's not bothered with at all more interested in things they knock out the trees usually.

This is the same dog that sat in front of an open door for ten minutes whining she couldn't get it, until I pretended to open the door, smart she is not.

My Spaniel took off after a rabbit when he was barely 2. Off into the distance he went and finally, I decided I must catch up with him as he didn't return to my calls. I found him some 800 yds away. Rabbit was in a hole and the dog was licking it.
I bet the rabbit was thinking "...this is going to be a slow death...". He hardly ever caught any after that but was excellent and so so patient catching rats.

Anyhoo, weather is a mix. I need a nap after some work this morning and a bad night's sleep.

Laters.

A colleague's dog once killed a heavily protected UK animal at the feet of an ecologist from an organisation which were statutory consultees for planting schemes. Not ideal

Afternoon folks,
Another busy day in paradise, at least I seem to be getting somewhere today. A touch warmer for the wobble in this morning, have to drive in tomorrow as I finally get my car back so need to swap it for the shitbox hire car I was given. I know they say it's like for like but it really wasn't.
Beer and curry later for a mate's birthday, well it is Wednesday.

Weather is weird, its windy an the wind is warm. Confusing me this is.

Kind offer but I'm up with fellow wurzells so can't disappear. Flew up on a rickety flybe toytown plane.
