Are they the same animals coming back?

Some of them could be, but they are being released by the field at the bottom of the garden, so it’s over 100 metres back to the house, then they’d need to get in and climb up to the attic.

Lunch: the rest of the pâté, again on seedy bloomer toast

Sunnyish out now, though with a fair number of white fluffy things replacing the grey sheet we started with

In a fit of, I don't know what, I ventured out into the back garden to have a hack at a few things. Namely wisteria and bamboo. I can now see the boarded out space at the back where I suspect a shed used to live and the pond that needs sorting out (it smells and the pump doesn't pump - none of the outdoor electrics work).

I also discovered a hole that looks like foxes have been trying to dig their way in or out. I guess it might have been that one I discovered a few weeks or so ago.

Now I have a pile of stuff on the lawn to clear away but I'm hungry.

Stripped the bed and left it to air, so I need to remember to make that before it's too late

And I even put the sheets and that in the wash straight away! What a difference a laundry basket - the kind for carrying stuff to and from the washing machine, not the kind you leave the dirty laundry in - makes

[NickFitz]

Tea: roast gammon, fried aggs, chips and beans

The car was a Mini Moke that they just had to tidy up a little; taxed until next February and MOT until October, so they didn't mess it up too badly

And the gold diggers seemed happy enough. I vaguely remember this episode; maybe this was where I came in last year, or perhaps it was a random weekend one some time

Got to make the bed now before I forget.

I am all caught up on The Repair Shop and Surgeons. I think there might be a 24 Hours in A&E to watch.

[WTFH]

More mice caught and moved out.

Now TFBSZ

Tonight's major motion picture premiere was A History of Violence (2005) which I thought was an excellent take on the "retired gangster's past catches up with him" genre

And then rewatches of the excellent Cloverfield (2008) and the also excellent District 9 (2009) which are both excellent takes on the "FFS, aliens" genre. Lot of excellence tonight

Goodnight all

[WTFH]

Morning all

The prices on ebay are eyewatering.

Meanwhile on the 19th of April 2019 NF was consuming Morrisons sausages and retrieving the clout he'd inadvisibly cast in the form of a bit of duvet whilst I was watching "Treasure Island" and "The Numbers Station", the latter requiring rather more suspension of disbelief than the former, oddly enough, Haaaaaaaaar! Jim Laaaaad!

As with most of these sports cars it was a pain in the arse to work on, engine out to do most things.

Read a little of "The Penguin complete Saki" of which I have the required two copies. I don't think I'll be reading much more of it, which is odd since I recall being quite impressed back in the distant past.
