    They are currently identifying as Locusts. little sods.

    Slug trap and Sainsburys £1 for 4 beer. Better suggestions (non poison at least my snails go to Snaihalla happy!)

    Lovely weather for Ducks, just sat in the garden drinking tea and watching the grass grow.

    Not sure if I have the kind of mind affliction that would make me shoe in for US president or AI is helping me write posts.

    Probably washed away in the rain. Or emigrated back to Tau Lacertae IX to keep their reptilian blood warm.

    Ours positively enjoys getting wet in the rain and will go and sit in the middle of the lawn during a downpour.

    He then comes in and ambushes us by chirping for attention, which results in an absent minded hand being lowered to cat height to provide fuss, followed by cries of anguish as it meets sodden fur.

    He also enjoys being toweled off vigorously before going back out in it again...

    Deep joy.

    And if you think a wet hen gets a bit irritated, just imagine what a wet parrot is like.


    Wet hens don't get irritated, they just look like drowned rats until they dry up.
