I would just like to say

It took me 4 hours to clean all the old silicon, paint and filler from the bedroom window frame (plastic double glazing). In the end I have had to rub it down with 3000 grit wet & dry to get it to look reasonable.
I am questioning my sanity at present.......

How much per hour on that car-park?

Tonight it’s £30
A lot cheaper than waking up with a wheel clamp attached. You have to pay before they remove it. Oh plus the £60 fine you get.
(Don’t worry I get the parking fees paid for but not parking fines or tickets)

Poisoning badgers and foxes is not legal, I believe! He doesn't have a dog but he does have a PC.

Badgers obvs not, Foxes as vermin, not so sure.
(Many dairy farmers would wish that poisoning badgers was legal! Or shooting them, as carriers of TB)
We have had badgers damage our property.
Where humans live in places that overlap with wildlife, usually it isn't a problem. But to me urban foxes are a real problem and should not be encouraged. As for badgers, never heard of urban badgers until today!

Wifey was in and out within an hour, not even an eye patch. Drops for a fortnight and all seems good so far!

Oh I have been "getting it in the ear" all my life!
she is no worse than others, but lockdown doesn't help anyone does it? We have got through it fine so far, but we both have frustrations as do so many others.
Outside factors are far worse.
And it looks as if I will be forced to get a modern mobile for the vaccine passport if nothing else, but this belongs on "what grinds my gears"!

There are more varieties of mortgage nowadays then fishes in the sea.
Reading small print has never been so important.
The barestewards really do seem to want to tie their punters hand, foot and finger.

I should find the pictures of an otter entering a pond in Swindon & nicking the gold fish.

then last week another was spotted in the local lake also on the edge of. The town swimming round as its quiet from dog walkers.

badgers just barge through things so anything in the way they dig under. They hate Heavy scented objects.
you may find some one is feeding them a few houses down and you are ion the route.

Oh it’s when the local wildlife rehab townie decides to release the town foxes back into the country side onto my land when I lived in Kent.
I did show them the pheasant pens & said these won’t taste like KFC but hey the foxes won’t last long.
Crazy fook rang the police after I popped the first 1 out the cage.
( I did have a pet fox that lived on my land & it never went near the pens or bins. It used the cat flap to get in the house. Was fun when we moved to the other side of the road & forgot to tell the new grounds man about the wildlife)
