Last 8 wickets tumble today, just beating the early afternoon rain. Hampshire go to the top of the table....and would have been in Division 2 but some financial issues resulting in Durham going down in their place. Funny game, cricket!
It is very blustery here today, with a few showers. Little sun, so our friendly snake, that we call Sid, has not be basking on the wall where we often see him. It would appear that some breeding has been going on while we have not been looking, as there is now a mini-Sid, about a foot long who has wriggled into the house, and is now hiding somewhere. They move extremely quickly, and in the local dialect are known as centyard. It is a combination of French and English indicating they are fast over a 100 yard dash. They are quite harmless, but I think that mini-Sid would be better outside if we could only find him.
We have black snakes i dont mind them eating the chicken eggs its eating baby chicks that we kind of get attached to that go missing and only snakes that could get into the run
Rookery Mike has been putting a few thoughts into words. http://www.espnfc.com/club/watford/...rt-with-fans-defence-and-deeney-needs-sorting I guess that a number of us would agree with most of it.
I used to breed budgies and finches - had a back verandah converted into an aviary at one end, with cages hanging all the way along the rest of it - and was plagued by carpet pythons who treated the place as a fast food shop. I never really got used to getting up in the morning to find a python curled up in the bottom of a cage with a suspicious bulge stopping it from getting out through the bars of the cage...
I have a sore throat. I am testing Benedictine as a possible cure. It's the first time I've tasted it since 1967 or so but it's growing on me...
I'm not entirely convinced about the medicinal properties of cucumber and cream cheese but, hey - whatever works for you...
Morning all from a cloudy rural France. Maybe some showers, maybe not, so think I will go in search of some netting that I require, then tomorrow when the day looks more settled I can get on. Still no sign of the small snake that is in the house somewhere. I hope it has a taste for spiders as it will not starve.
We have bright red clay so dirt gets washed away .There is lots of rivers and lakes (i have a small lake) there is one that has over 900 miles of shore line
