Joy of Painting. . Very
Joy of Painting. until the last 10 minutes. Where did that river come from?

I do like a bit of Bob Ross of an evening. I remember watching his programmes when I was a kid. And enjoy watching them again now. You can't beat a bit of quiet TV.
Went to clean up me greenhouse which I've left to go wild, weeds growing up through the floor and bindweed all over the place. Lifted up a storage box and found lots of ants with eggs! Damn it! Being so silly about little creatures I can't bring meself to get rid of them.
Mild but cloudy out. For some reason I feel quite tired today, despite having had what felt like a decent night's sleep. I still reckon the blinds in the bedroom let in too much light, though. I'm thinking of putting up some decent thick curtains instead, as and when I get around to it

Have both. Then you can guarantee it is dark.

It's a roller blind, so it'll have to come down so the curtain track can be put up
Though maybe there is some way of combining these technologies? I'm not really au fait with current advances in that area
You can definitely have both. I had both in my Kensington flat and now in my place in Ealing. You don't necessarily have to have have curtain track, could go for a pole instead.

The roller is where either track or pole would go, unless the curtains were put inside the window bit. Anyway, I'll have a think about it, and investigate options
The mangy fox was back wandering around outside just now. It had seemed to be recovering, and isn't anything like as bad as it was - though it's always possible the recovering one I saw last week was a different fox, as there's a few in the neighbourhood. Anyway, its limp and so on isn't as bad, but it's still not well
What could have happened is that somebody's treated it with something like ivermectin, which kills the mites in short order so it starts to recover. As part of its recovery, it starts shunning humans again and generally living a foxy lifestyle. But then the mite eggs that were left on its skin hatch, and it ends up back where it started.
The solution is to keep feeding it stuff laced with ivermectin every few days for a couple of weeks to a month, by which time all the hatching mites will be killed off before ever laying any eggs and it ends up recovering. But because it starts avoiding people again, that's hard to do; you can't just leave the laced food out for it, as something else might eat it and suffer adverse consequences
