I drove out of the village on Tuesday to see the verge cutting man trying to disentangle an open reach cable from his machine. Openreach did a load of "repairs" in that place about 5 - 6 months ago, I'd love to know why they thought it acceptable to leave the cable and a box on the grass verge. The verge cutter has done all the area and has kept low and about 12 - 18 inches from the fence at all times so he can't have gone too close to the installation. Openreach were there yesterday for the afternoon fixing it, and will most likely be there today at great cost no doubt. Did they really leave the cable just sitting on the grass verge? Twits.

The worship of the natural world and the denigration of humanity.
Nature is brutal, cruel, exploitative, selfish, depraved, dangerous and savage. That's how it works. I don't want to destroy it needlessly or see species made extinct but there is a limit.
But Mr Monbiot, Packham Avery etc keep on fawning over it and promoting it with some kind of misguided "wind in the willows" sentimentality. They deny that there is any goodness in what humanity brings to the world. Their vision would see us overrun and reduced to the savagery they so admire.

Three more lots of rain on my hay today, total 3 mm.
That makes 11 different rain events in the last 12 days, only one of them made more than 4 mm.
If it is going to rain, get on and do it, then stop

What sort of person keeps sand in the fridge....
'kin holiday cottage.
On the plus side, it seems I'm now the proud owner of a polystyrene surfboard.
