Jeezo it's dull.
...and wet*.
Puir wee, soggy birdies - must feed them as soon as the rain eases.
Despite it not being cold, they're eating shedloads of nuts.
*It's a good job Fort 'Loon is on a hill.
Hoping I can get some Stuff fettled today, been a frustrating, largely written off week post-vacc, a new experience for me. As for exercise? Nae 'kin chance.
armor-lux still waterproof, though it's so mild even walking made it a bit warm
Need to get home at some point as I assume the kids idea of walking the dog is not sufficient for the dogs.
Pub later obviously
More pedalling tomorrow as its dry so will do the hybrid communt.
Slightly miffed that yesterday's virtual ride got lost in the upload ether. Did a new course round some lakes in north west Norway, spectacular scenery up to foot of a glacier somewhere. 43 kms fairly easy, then iPad crashed somehow and didn't save it...
Trying to trap possums this evening.
Damp bike ride this morning with added inch of sheep poo across the cycle path which everyone else was carrying their bikes over. I went round on the grass which was less pooey but more muddy so it didn't really work out.
In the office doing stuff now making use of the facilities while the rain passes - free shower, free tea, free of distractions (fewer anyway).
Brother sent me a pair of gloves that I wore out a while ago made of Possum which were ace.
Could do with another pair.
As well as Weasels and Ferrets which were introduced in the late 1800's to control rabbit populations.
No slow start which was irritating, helped the lad work on his car. The fettling is also part of a university project as he had to write up a report on how something is made after disassembly.
Dark rather early this evening, I'd gone for a walk in Richmond Park to catch the last of the light. Amazing how many were out on bikes without lights after dark, surely they knew the clocks have changed.
Marin Nail Trail
Cotic Solaris
Pestilential things though, do a lot of damage to trees and property. Laughably, they are still “protected” here, so even if I did have a rifle and a permit to shoot pests, I’d supposedly not be able to kill them.
Even trapping and “re-locating” is theoretically controlled, and you are not supposed to move them more than about 500 metres from where you trap them, as they get disoriented and scared and lonely or some b0ll0x. When we do catch ‘em, there’s a nice spot of bushland they’ll get to visit just up the road.. 😀
Didn’t get one overnight though dammit.
