One hen should have been in "The great escape".
No matter how much I seal the holes where the net leaves too big a gap underneath between it and the ground, and the fact that all their wings are clipped, one gets out as soon as my back is turned.
Fortunately Marie-Lou, the cleverest of our two cockers, thinks herding her and helping me get her back in the run is brilliant fun. We have developed a real rapport and she knows when I am off to sort it out almost before I do.
"Dog and man in perfect harmony". She truly is the Einstein of the Cocker world! :):):):)
 
Anyone else think that even the very best olive oil still tastes bitter?
Well I do.
But yessdi on the market, the guy we normally buy olives from as well as dates, ginger and loads of other aperitif stuff, was selling his own olive oil at......... wait for it.......... €20 a bot! Not even a litre!
We had run out and were not going to buy any more until we go to the normal guy we buy it from, a vigneron from whom we regularly buy wine, cos his tuff is extremely good. So we intended to just buy stop-gap stuff from Leclerc. But he insisted on us tasting his, it is made from Lucques and Picholines. If you like olives and have never tasted Lucques you really must. You can get them in the UK.
Anyway, this stuff was flipping incredible, not bitter at all! So of course we bought a bot.
I have a horrible feeling we may end up like a cat that has been perfectly happy eating ornery tinned catfood until one day someone gives it a bit of Whiskas.
My ex and I had a cat and ran out of food one day so "borrowed" a tin off a neighbour. It was Whiskas and from that day on it would rather starve than eat anything else except the flipping expensive stuff. I swear they put heroin or something in it!

Tip, if making your own mayonnaise, use sunflower oil or summat, not olive oil. I made that mistake once making a Waldorf salad for dinner guests. They all said it was lovely, but I knew it wasn't! I since read up on it and yep, that is what other peeps do!
Have a nice end to the evening folks. Dunno what the weather is like where you all are but it is still flipping hot over here! ;););)

You could of course just take the wheel off, run a bath or find another receptacle big enough to take the tyre and the wheel rim under water then rotate it until you see where the bubbles are coming from.
I bet it is just corrosion making sealing the tyre to the rim difficult, but who knows until it is tested.
I take it you have been all over the running surface looking to see if a nail or summat is stuck in it? i once did hundreds of miles on a tyre with a nail in it. Somehow it sealed itself.
@kevstar knows more about tyres than most on here due to a former life!!!;););)

Not the first time ive took a nail out & put a bigger screw in it to seal it as a temp repair. 🤣

A sponge & fairy liquid will show up any leak no need to take the wheel off she can roll about underneath covered in bubbles..
