Raining

I think the trick is, if you've laid a trap of sorts and caught a rat. You don't then call the powers that be; so they can gang up on you. Putting your neck in the noose and effectively pulling the lever all by yourself.

Brrrrrrrr. Makes me shiver just thinking about it. It warmed and while the dew drained, so did the clouds. Been raining most of the day.

Insider

That made me chuckle.

Why thank you Jon.

Time, pardon the pun, to contact CAB and get them to help you draft leller. The product as sold, is plainly unsuitable for purpose as advertised. If you or the original purchaser had been in procession of all the relevant facts, there wouldn't have been any need for complaint, as there wouldn't have been a purchase.

Police not responding to any degree of crime, is the tip of the pyramid. Just as minor today, might have been serious yesterday. What is serious today, may become minor tomorrow. Mr. Peel will be turning in his grave. It's becoming a policing organisation in name only. If you work on the bins, at least you can differentiate between trash and the householder. One is to be collected and to be got rid of; while the other is served, as the latter are paying the binman's wage. The police have lost their way. They no longer serve those that lawfully pay their way through life. And instead serve only the wealthy in the towers of power; and the dank-dwellers by their inaction. The powers that be and what have become their henchmen, (courts). Have little interest in protecting the vulnerable and those that have been abandoned, to protect themselves, their loved ones and processions. It's hard work chasing those that dwell in the shadows and scarper in white vans. Far easier to target those, that can't run away, because they've put down roots and are good part of the community. I'm not saying all lords/ladies/MPs are bad, nor that if you're monied you get treated better. But we've passed the time, when Joe Bloggs can ring those that are suppose to protect and expect the same degree of justice, as those with a title; those with 'old money'; and those that dwell in the shadows. At this point, most would be saying, "Rant over". But in times gone by, there would have been revolution by now. But instead of hands going up. The just seems to be just floodwaters and taxes. The only things going round, are dank-dwellers and their plied trade in thievery and misery.

Chilly but dry, plenty of dew and wakeful birds.

Tracked

May the year ahead be as you would wish. May it welcome you, as you welcome it. May it and others be fair to you, as you are to it and others. May your businesses do well; may there be many trees to prune & pollard, to fell & sell. And may you be happy & healthy.

Wind has abated for now and it's not raining. I thought it always rained.

Confucius, he say, "Steve Bullman has hit the nail on the head."

Euphonium

Nice one!

Blowing.

Undaunted

With the steel toe cap, I doubt that they stretch much in the tow area. Is there any way you could return and swap for the next size up? Either that or it's out with the lopping shears and a large plaster.

Damp.

Dreary

200 years - I can't see it being rebuilt. I wonder if they were fully insured.

Guess

It's a bit windy.
