    Looks pretty good. Is that a bowling green over the back fence? Looks huge

    Yeah. Bowls club. Noisy b@ggers in summer. Better than being overlooked though, and if you're not in a seafront paradise like you, that's a plus!

    We've had to fight them applying every other week for a 2 a.m. license for the clubhouse mind you. No-one minds normal pub hours; they've been there nearly as long as the houses, but they built a new clubhouse (and the new houses in the background) and want to hire it out for "functions".

    Lil fukkah climbed 180 cm vertical fence.

    You have to hand it to him.
    It's a Vole. Tail is too short for a mouse and the nose is too stubby.

    Bolle safety specs for £7 as usual. Wfh tomorrow so a bit of a lie in and a decent breakfast.

    Have you tried the yellow lens one's for anti dazzling headlights and bad light? They're very good.

    Mrs H³ loves you. She's been saying vole. Ive been saying voles are water loving critters. There's 2 of the buggers. They're bound to procreate.

    Is that your crib at the other end with the massive open bi-fold doors?

    Yep. Though massive ain't the word. Let me see if I can find a picture.
    I think Mrs H³ is suitably unrecognisable.



    Looks well pukka lush. Am liking the outdoor soft furnishings. Top work that man.

    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

    its not unfortunately but it is like one of those posh middle class chalet things - 2" wood thick walls, double glazing,

    Authentic middle class home office here. No wood, steel and glass and insulation. Air conditioning. Me? I get the box room. Though she did actually pay for this.





    Now that’s sweeeet.

    Can the MF in V’s garage move into there please? We feel he’s going a bit feral where he is.

    Only if the fokker tidies up before he goes.


    Ooh, Stevo's lookalike just appeared on the tellybox
    He’s just dropped a line to say it’s a kind offer but he’s happy where he is. Sorry

    😐

    little fukkah needs to find an electric fence at the top.
    What i need is one of those catapults my mates had that I always wanted. A black widow. Bag of ball bearings.
    I had one of those. God knows where I got it from at the age of about 12.
    Ooh, you lucky censored ! With the arm brace? 3 of my mates had one. They used to go "shooting squirrels". Judging by the times I was allowed to come along, I think they had the same hit rate as my dog. Lots of noise, no success.
    Yeah, thats the one. Thinking back, i think i might have swapped something to get it off a lad at school. I never shot anything with it though, well nothing living.

    Well of course she does.

    There are Field Voles (very short tail - Jack the cat can testify), Water voles and Bank voles. Looks like a Bank vole.

    I had one and kept it for whatever reason.

    Gave it to the kids and it broke in about 4 mins. Which was a great excuse to buy another one along with exploding targets 😎

    Some of the older windows, bi-fold doors in the kitchen, the laundry, snug, boiler room sorting and the back yard (original plan of Indian stone shelved due to hideous quote)

    She said bank vole. I'm going to book her a ticket to Stranraer to come and spread our London covid. I was with V man, and the MFs. Mouse.

    Have you thought about the much less expensive stone cladding, sometimes referred to 'Veneer'?

    Had to temporarily abandon plans to insulate and put a lining on the shed halfway through. Events have overtaken us and I've had to fill it up with crap from the house. looks like it's on hold until the spring when I'll get a second smaller tool shed, put the crap in there and finally finish the job of making it into the office, bike workshop / turbo space.

    Water voles (ratty in wind in the willows) are pretty rare. Only seen one in the wild, near Winchester.

    Filet of vole... Okay but for the fact that you'd need 200 of them to feed a family.
    Water Voles are on the decline.

    ...and so are Owls. Voles: Owl food.

    I'm with 'loon. Calling the exterminators tomorrow, though if we keep laying on the bird food, it'll be difficult to keep them away.

    Ha! You want critters? We have millions of rabbits, possums, potoroos, pademelons, bandicoots, blue-tongue lizards, some mice, some rats, echidnas, the occasional wallaby, a snake or two, and all sorts of birds from wrens to sea-eagles hanging about here...

    I'd love that. I've got squirrels and some brazen foxes.

    At the old place we had den under the shed, so I set up a trail camera
