Sure sounds like some sort of owl, but I know precious little of European birds.

An owl I'd expect, but none of the videos seem to match.

New water barbel arrived yesterday. Water transferred from the old, inherited one & the muck in the bottom of the old now poured out. Hole made for overflow & the two barbels now connected. Biggest job was rolling up the lay flat hose afterwards

Are you weight lifting with those?

I have just witnessed a new phenomenon I have always talked to myself, but now I have found I am giving myself instructions on how to do the plumbing, is it one of my past life's coming through?

Have spent the morning puttering about. Feel a bit meh. Am about to have some lunch.

Got some seafood stick things in - really pushing the boat out

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Eyes"

Cos every cat has three eyes, right...

Actually, my original idea was cats eyes in the road, but the nearest ones have all been smashed up by the tractors and machinery.

I've cleaned my laptop screen. Now I can see how out of focus my photographs really are...

Apparently there was a two minute silence at 11am. Well, I didn’t hear anything.

I feel there is somewhat of an irony that the family over the back from us have Abba 'Thank you for the music' blaring out of their speakers so loud that it is annoying.

Why not believe everything on TV? BBC News at 10 had a recent bit about an island on lockdown and how we survive. Talking to friends the general reaction about those interviewed is "who were these people?" I have never heard of most of them before. Alan "Winker" MacLean was the only real local and nobody who knows him would address him as Winker anyway. He barely got time for a sentence. A couple of others would just about qualify but those given most prominence I have never even seen before. Settlers talking to settlers.

Have you got a microswitch on the front door of your ‘local’ pub that turns the jukebox off so you can all turn round and stare at the newcomers?

I've been in a few pubs like that, once went in one in a little Nottinghamshire village & the piano player actually did stop playing as we walked in

Someone been fishing?

I'm assuming you mean *barrel*

That is always dangerous

Really hacked off...

Was cutting the grass and weeds on the road side of the hedge before it got out of hand (council is supposed to do that, but have they heck...) and ended up beaching the mower. Had to tow it out with the car.

Fecking fly tippers.

Chunks of chipboard, a job lot of empty drinks cans, fubared work wear, rubble and some household waste.

Not impressed.

When I came home, my neighbor was cleaning her garage, and throwing things out for bin day. I took her discarded gas strimmer, as it was about 2 times better than my old Homelite. I believe I just need to replace the cord on the pull start.

Cost approximately $1, assuming you bought the correct type of cord/rope and made your own.
