We see ours maybe weekly but only looming in the dark.
Hopefully as the evenings draw out we’ll see more of it.
I thought we had a mass of mice burrowing in our lawn, but the rat man says they’re vole holes so we decided not to put any poison down. Don’t want to harm the owl in any way.

Top gear tribute to Colin Mcrae.
the man was a legend and the closest I had to a hero in my school days.

Absolutely. Met him quite a few times. Totally down to earth, but extremely talented sportsman who knew nothing other than total commitment to his sport. Would have won many more titles if he hadn't gone to Ford.
Mrs Bob good friends with his wife. Life has taken a real toll on her

We seem to have got a bale of silage that’s not as nice for whatever reason and all the suckler cows are looking at it refusing to eat it. So it will have to go to some ponies and get the cows some better stuff. Made me smile they are all stood a the yokes saying you can feck off if you think we are eating that. Spoilt cows

Parents evening- opens a window on the unreported world of primary one.
favourite part is the art folder and in particular the drawing entitled “you need to listen and pay attention even if you’re in a wheelchair with a hi-viz jacket on”
one can only imagine what the, presumably very specific, inspiration for that was. ?

Photo on facebook from jet setting relatives, usually of a stopover in a luxury hotel etc but this time in a far eastern airport, wearing facemasks. International travel has just lost its appeal.

Just found this thread and it makes me smile that after 900 pages, folks are still saying nice things! (no, I didn't read them all..)
Watching the lambs do their "lamb wave" thing back and forth across the pasture in the evening.

Not terribly unusual to see them in daylight but normally early or late in the day rather than around noon.
Can't hunt in the wet as their feathers don't have a waxy coating like most so may be catching up in a dry spell.

Had the most racist lorry driver in tonight.
“normally f@£king foreigners doing this job”
“They’re everywhere”
Etc etc
went on for the duration of loading 25t with the pump truck.
as he pulled out of the yard I had a little smile at the irony of a long distance (continental) driver complaining about everywhere he goes being run by foreigners.........
would that not be the very definition of the job??

I drove through a very bad sandy road with the tractor and there where a few local youngsters with an old car, with the front ripped out and an engine and transmission lying in a ditch. Turns out they wrapped a chain around the block, other end on a tree and ran it in reverse, ripping the whole thing out.

Police chief being interviewed on local radio:
PC " We will have a large number of officers on the streets during the lockdown"
For riots, looting,civil unrest ?
PC "Where more than two people are gathered, our officers will stop to talk to them and tell them to disperse"
So be at least five people gathered including the police, all at 2m distance from each other ?
Interviewer " You have new laws to enforce this ?"
PC " Yes, where people do not disperse, they will be fined £30"
Interviewer " That's legal ?"
PC "That's the law as enabled by Parliament, er it's not actually legal as it's not in the legal system"
Interviewer "So will the people actually be fined ?"
PC "Yes, possibly"

Random call on the mobile this morning; " could you use a bit of free help on the farm? I am experienced, recently retired and bored to the point of insanity by social isolation"
Sadly, no, of course but at least someone else appreciates what we have on the farm.

Apparently it’s £60 reduced to £30 if paid in 14 days....
Need to declare a state of emergency and get the batons and shields out - now that gets scary.
Had that experience in 2000 during the fuel protests, one second laughing and joking with police and sharing the apples and pears I had picked that morning , then an alert to say a tanker was on its way ...... ooooosh
