its an ongoing issue that started about 3 years ago, we keep blocking holes and putting ant powder down but the beggars keep finding new ways .

I think you can blame Noah for saving them .

First garden visitor down on the food this morning was the regular blackbird with some white markings on.
First cuppa going down well.

Morning.
It is grey here. It felt a bit damp when I put our bins out .
Is there some kind of a football game going on?

That opens up even more questions though. Just think about how many breeds of cattle there are, how many breeds of dog, pig, sheep, etc. Did he have two of each breed?

Or maybe how many there were then.

And how did he save things like Kangaroos when they didn't know Australia existed.🤔

Why would Australia have existed then? A flood that covered the whole Earth would have changed the continents & a single, original, continent has been proposed.

Or the heraldic birds and beasts - which don't actually exist. Like the martlet, wyvern, cockatrice, unicorn...

And what about the sphynx?

If they didn't exist they didn't need saving.

Maybe it was cross breeding between species on the Ark that resulted in the different breeds or more diverse things like 🦘. Or maybe its a load of 🐂
Happy birthday @oldwheels

I can't help thinking that the Flood must have led to a whole lot of incest.

Thanks for the good wishes on my birthday.
Weather still cloudy but should be dry all day so must try to get out on the trike.
Big excitement in Oban with a round the world yacht race with 70 yachts stopping for a few days plus a pan celtic cycle event.

Our ferry service is on an amended timetable due to the Tiree music festival with so many going the normal service cannot cope.
No idea where they all stay but it must be a bit crowded.

i refuse to pay £11:70 to park at the station for the day!

Who can afford that?

When it's "free" we all pay for it.

Good morning.

Someone donated a very flashy racing bike this week, so today I have to make sure it works.

I had to tighten the brakes and fix a gear cable but overall it seems to be good.

Has anyone heard of a "Jan Ulrich" bike? I know the person was a TdF winner, but I can't find any bikes with this name online.

My word this is getting theological.

The story of the flood is based on an older Babylonian story, and the original audience would have been familiar with this story. It's a bit like superhero stories which are repackaged for different audiences but still have the same basic elements.

What would have freaked the audience for the Noah Story, is that instead of multiple gods who didn't care much about humans (they destroyed humanity because they were 'noisy' but then they found they got hungry without sacrifices) the writer presented the God of Noah as caring for people but wanting to get rid of all the wickedness. It was quite the revolutionary concept for the time.

This link might get you somewhere - https://bikebiz.com/jan-ullrich-becomes-brand-ambassador-for-storck-bicycle/
(I'm thinking there might have been a Ullrich-branded bike coming out of this.)

I am waiting for one final re-sit student to upload their exam paper. I can see they're online ... and when they're done I can continue my day.

JUST GET ON WITH IT!
