Guinea fowl found 
Two in a neighbour’s garden, one hiding under one of our hydrangeas.

…Maybe we ain’t that young anymore -
Due to an overwhelming feeling on ennui I've just been down the dump with Sunday's harvest of green waste, plus the odd tin or two, and the plastic bottles.
Just as well it was nearly empty because I made a complete pig's ear of the reversing.

Any idea why they went walkabout?Comment

If they were cats then I'd say they were looking for a better class of slave.Originally posted by NickFitz View Post

Very skittish creatures who prefer to stay on the ground unless something startles them, at which point they take to the air. They have certain similarities to the 737Max, in that their ability to fly is dubious. Most of their body is taken up with a voice box designed to waken the dead within a 30 mile radius. The flying bits flap a lot, followed by gravity taking over and a belly landing occurring (unless they land head first)Originally posted by NickFitz View Post

In the wild they would fly up into tall trees to escape predators, but ones that have grown up in chicken runs have less mastery of flying and little concept of how high they need to go to get into a tree.
We’ve just had a torrential downpour, but even through the noise of the rain, I could hear them calling, so I’m guessing they are still in his garden and will need to be scared by me later to get them to fly back into ours.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Tea this evening was M&S battered haddock.
It was nice enough.
Tipped the plate whilst eating so it's taken five minutes to pick escaped peas off the floor.
Followed by the last of the ground rice, for which much thanks.
It's on to pudding rice tomorrow so I have to figure out how to make a rice pudding in the microwave.
All rounded off by bergamot free 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea.
The evening's entertainment will probably encompass Jeremiah s2 e9 & e10, Joan of Arcadia e4, and the Pimple Popping Doctor on Quest Red.
I would assume it's called Quest Red because of the frequent appearance of blood, pus, and gore.
In other news it's pissing down again.
Whilst the sun is shining on the wet leaves.
Where the feck are all these mosquitoes coming from?

Very annoyed with DataGrip, which for unexplained reasons seems to attempt to come up with its own representation of a table's definition, rather than using MySQL's "SHOW CREATE TABLE table name". As a result I couldn't see that a couple of tables in this DB had ROW_FORMAT FIXED defined on them, which was causing an upgrade script that tries to convert them to InnoDB to fail 
Wasted a good hour trying to track down the meaning and cause of the inscrutable error message that resulted
