  1. But we are the magic money tree!! feel sorry for leaseholders- they have double whammy of unscrupulous people/organisations who dip their hands freely into their pockets
  2. I did try to catch it in the afternoon but it could fly well enough. However it wasn’t seen yesterday at all
  3. Some photo’s I was able to take yesterday. These seem to be of fledglings (possibly the same one as they were taken several hours apart
  4. Well, I do work in IT 😂😂
  5. Sorry about you receiving this - it was supposed to go to @Penelope!!
  6. £3k here - 9% increase with 5% increase for police and town when we moved here 20 years ago it was cheaper than Cheshire - the next county/country over but the way it has increased over the past several years is a joke Apparently the increase in Assembly Members by over 50% will have another big impact on council tax when it happens ☹️
  7. I do lots of things - but the success rate varies!!
  8. Well, pleased as punch!! my lads Sony Bluetooth headset broke (don’t buy Sony as it is a known problem) so one of the cups was dangling. Unfortunately this model is “cheap” - still £100 - and you can only take them apart so far, not far enough to fix this issue (you can on XM4’s) so - I bought a pair of eBay that had been water damaged but were intact. Well, last night - armed with a soldering iron and wearing two pairs of glasses - I transplanted the PCB’s from a known working but physically broken pair into a known not working but physically intact. Some very fine wires in there but got it done and back together. AND THEY WORKED!!!!! So, today it was time to have a go at the car which has been flagging up “coolant level low” for several months, caused by a float sensor going. I purchased a new expansion tank a while back but every time I planned to do it the weather worked against me. So, an hour spent and a £50 part I have it done, warning didn’t come on after doing it, ready for the MOT next week So double success in 24 hours!!! When is the lottery on?? 😂
  9. Poor picture I took this morning from inside the house. This is the feeder at the front The back feeders are not in a line of sight from the house
  10. I will try and get some. we have always fed the birds - including wood pigeons (sorry - SWMBO loves them) but these are really stripping the seed!! There are worse problems to have though 😀

  13. Never really had them before in the 20 years we have lived here but this year we have a very active flock(?) of them in excess of 20 - they are eating us out of house and home!!! Lovely to see though 😀
