These two crows are trying to get to the greenfinch nest that I know to be inside this holly Bush in the garden.

 Very close now Ralph. Only 2 more games for you  to endure unless we slip up tomorrow which I think is likely.

Expecting you win comfortably tonight but if by 4 or fewer and we do win tomorrow that door is still open. Just! Maybe the fat lady loses her voice afterall...

Enjoy!

Think it depends on the local Evri people.  Some good, some bad.  They are all in a rush, as time is clearly money for them.  Respect to any who spare time for the lonely people who just want a chat.

I heard no cuckoo this week, so maybe they are settled for the year and don't need to call anymore.

On other bird related news.  There was a big commotion with alarm calls when I went round the back yesterday.  Assumed I had surprised then til I saw a Jay on the lawn with a deceased/soon to be deceased blue bird chick in its beak.  Was getting well and truly mobbed by other blue tits.  Probably wasn't expecting me to rock up and join the party, and it made a swift exit.  Assume other food is in short supply with the hard ground/cold weather.

So rare to see a Jay in my garden, wish it had been in more pleasant circumstances.

evri are the absolute worst - complain to the seller and say that you won't use them again as they use evri. I arranged for an evri delivery to a pick up point which never arrived. They informed the seller that I had refused to accept the item.

Played a senior open at Cawder (easy course of their two) to the north east of Glasgow on Thursday. Finished with 33 stabos but a bit disappointed as I had 29 with four not particularly hard holes to go.

I ldropped a not too bad score on my index so I have crept up from 27.9 to 28.

This is a bit different, but should raise the spirits

You know how delivery firms send a photo of your parcel at your property prove they delivered it? Well I think they should also send a photo of your property when they say they attempted to deliver it.

I've been hst home for the last two days. Both times Evri have messaged me to say "Delivery was attempted, sorry we missed you".

What a load of bollocks. They have been nowhere near. Total lies

I was too accident prone to risk it.

I was once caught short out in the fens, not a tree or a bush as far as the eye could see, so I jumped down into a dike that would be deep enough to hide me once I had assumed the position.

Unfortunately when I landed at the bottom, Newton's first law came into play. I stopped, but the contents of my rectum continued on it's downward trajectory.

That was an uncomfortable journey home.
