I am being plagued by 'seed hoovers' aka pigeons! I don't know why I bother to try and feed the small birds. If the hoovers don't get it the starlings will.
Pigeon pie is very good, btw...

A bit too 'gamey' for me I'm afraid. When I worked at Biggleswade there were flocks of 500-1000 going after the nearby fields of brussels sprouts, so we went pigeon shooting at lunchtime. I took a few home and mum made a pie... but I wasn't keen.Pigeon pie is very good, btw...
I just found three tubs of gooseberry sauce in the freezer and I had 3 apples, So I've just made a crumble. Its in the oven now

Each to his or her own, I suppose. I don't mind pigeon, but other than the breast, there's not an awful lot of meat on one. The cats like them though, but they operate a pick-your-own service. It's hilarious watching pigeons drunk on windfall fruit, and for Poppy and Lexi, it's as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. What's not such fun is if they decide to pluck them indoors...
Crumble is good. I still have plum crumble for tonight.

I'm going to nip out for a quick bike ride. I'd prefer to go later, but those clouds on the horizon are getting darker...

Yes there isn't much meat on them. Mum just used the breasts because the rest wasn't worth the effort.

Our local TV news put out a public information warning earlier about the Asian Hornet which can devastate beehives saying that people should be on the look out for then . So you would think that they would show some pictures clearly illustrating what people should be on the look out for . So they showed a person who studies insects , some honey bees , a wooden display case and some very dark pictures of some hornets. So now I know what to look out for !

Ah, I needed that hour in the company of Wiggy #1, the Rouen roadie.
Haven't ridden it since late April / early May, mainly because the hybrid was nearer the front door.

Having done the shopping this morning I entered into an aternoon of inactivicy. With the exception of the effort of loading the washing machine 3 times and then hanging the washed items on the line, I did nothing except read and listen to the radio and a couple of podcasts while drinking coffee & orange squash (from separate vessels before @classic33 chimes in).
Despite sitting in the shade I have still managed to go a bit red somehow.

Was the coffee that bad.
