Good morning...

Back to Freiburg today and starting new job on Monday.

But first we're having Brunch together; Elder Son and his girlfriend will come to visit.

Break a leg.

House next door has been sold to a young farmer- he turned up today with two tractors, a tipper trailer and a digger. He cleared the front garden in less than five minutes... two 6 foot privet hedges, a cherry tree and half the front grass and topsoil to put in a double width drive. He doesn't mess about!

I'm going to enjoy seeing what he comes home with every night- especially during harvesting time!

Our grandson is turning up before his allocated time and I haven't put the vacuum cleaner round .

Should I just vacuum him before he leaves ?

He has been playing with some Mega Bloks Dragons. I must tell him not to stand in front of the catapult when he fires it !

He'll find that out himself.

A trailer full of manure 💩?

Maximum five times their own height.
Average jump can be 20 times their own body length.

Hosepipe and a motion sensor set at cat height.

Can I combine those two ideas and put a hosepipe at an angle so that the frogs can hoppitty hop up the hose pipe?

If a frog is about two inches long in the body, and can jump ten inches, that is an incline of 1 in 5.

That sounds rather steep, I might make it 1 in 3. Yes, old school here, 20% or

the percentage is the tangent of the opposite over the adjacent

I think I need another

Oh my word,i hope they get it sorted quickly.This is why i refused to drill in my lads flat,when he wanted to mount a bike stand in a spare room.Friday of all days,i hope it does not cause too much damage.

Just seen a Peregrine being mobbed by a gull. I heard a lot of noise and looked up to see the two wheeling around . They separated and went off in different directions. The last I saw of the Peregrine it was climbing way up out of sight .
I saw what looked like some small white feathers floating down .
