What have you been doing today?

[Diver Fred]

Have swopped numbers of Sparrows for Robins in the garden.

Worse is the number of Foxes running around; 3 litters this year. Just can't get them to go away. The 'expletive deleted' animals have dug under the workshop floor and it's sunk and cracked. Hope they don't dig under the machine tools - the planer/thicknesser weighs in at just short of a ton and the table saw 12cwt.

Pottered around gathering blackberries this morning, dewy fresh and sweet. Have enough to make more jam and for the queen of desserts; blackberry and apple pie. It's been a good year and i noticed the oak tree had grown a huge spread of acorns, so squirrel will feast well this winter.

I might try planting a couple to see if anything turns out; that oak is over 400 years old and there's no other in the neighbourhood so i like the idea of putting another in the field.

While Mrs Mottie is out with the dog, I took the opportunity to wash some of Susie's favourite toys. They were a little bit grubby and a little bit stinky!

Let me introduce you to them. L to R we have:
Farting Wlbur
Boo Bear
Foxy Bingo
Tom Daley
Big Ball
Baby Bear
Shrimpy
Honk
Legs

That looks like an execution by A.A.Milne.

With Mottie....

 

[Mottie]

Kodi was running slow so I completely wiped it, reinstalled it and just put the addons back on that I regularly use. It’s like I’ve added a supercharger to it now!

Won't Robin scoff slug?

Won't Robin scoff slug?

Is that in response to Driver Fred or a cryptic crossword clue?

 

[securespark]

Sorry, in response to Mottie's posts about the slug and robin.

Sorry, in response to Mottie's posts about the slug and robin.

I think the slug was bigger than the Robin!

 

[Mottie]

Took up one of my carrots to see how they are doing. I hope the rest aren’t like this!

The bloke on the next plot but one is doing better. Just!

 

[Mottie]

Having a tidy up and putting my squash onto bricks to keep them off the ground and I accidentally broke one from its stem. Should be okay as it looks like it’s almost ripe. I dropped that off with a large courgette and some apples to my sister on my way home.

The ladies on the next plot gave me some aubergine plants. They don’t seem to be the normal type but there’s loads of them.

Drove across the Millau viaduct today ( holidaying near Beziers for a week ).....truly a bridge above the clouds!
All for 9.80 euros and the motorway approaching it is toll free.

We went across that on motorcycles our way home from a European motorcycling trip about 5 years ago. We went out of our way to come that way home. It was very impressive.

It’s a first for me, although I did bike through Millau town years ago, heading from Provence to Clermont Ferrand.
