The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Ive been feeding a blackbird flapjack which it really likes...and now every time i go out it arrives and says [more or less] 'where's me flapjack' and now it doesnt wait for me to come out with it he follows me and hops about in the kitchen

Have you ever considered that there might be more than one you're feeding.
After the first few times, it spread the word that there was free food, served up as well, at your place. Now its mates are turning up, and spreading the word further afield...

He has small black spot on the right hand side of his beak, he is also very territorial.

Salut. Been for a 31 kms ride this morning and now watching the TdF. My son is coming to see me anytime now and later, I might do a bit more of lawn removing.
Mrs G has gone out for lunch with a group of her lady friends.

You understood what it were asking for!

I've changed the name of my Ring doorbell.

If anyone visits now the notification says, "There is someone at your Anus."

How long before Mrs D notices and I get a good thrashing?

In other news I dropped my keys in the park while walking Bruce this morning. Being new to the area Mrs D asked about on Felchbloke and was advised to try the corner shop as he acts as an unofficial lost property bureau for the old village. I popped in and sure enough, there they were.

Entitled little beggars aren't they.
Here's my bottomless food bucket from a few moments ago.

Looking through the kitchen window from the end of the outhouse gutter - works (nearly) every time, soft-hearted fool that I am.

Edit: I thought Bardney folk always leave the door open? Are you not from round these parts?

Not a local, only been here 36 years and on my third house in the village.
