    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

I love our brainy crows that come on our back yard,we live on end house with fields and large trees so a few birds come but the last 3 weeks i have put a tub of water on our shed as well as having a bird bath.

3 massive crows get there bread and dip it in the bath to make it soft,sometime leave it and come back then eat it and go onto shed as deeper tub (3'') and drink and wash.

Will have to have a word with them as they are starting on junk food now,french fries and bits of a beefburger as someone dropped some just outside on the road,keeps the pigeons away which is a great thing.

Try to keep them off the burgers as they will get mad cow disease from eating there own 😅

I grew up with cows; my grandad had a farm; while they were being milked my dad used to sit me on there back like they were horses, there very nosy too, we had cooking apple trees, the cows used to eat the apples ☺ I can remember the saliva streaming from there mouths like foam as they bit down on the whole cooking apples ☺ 

Happy times back then; the country side is fantastic; thanks for jogging those memories for me 👍 I'll never touch or set foot there again as after my grandad passed my dad sold the lot and drank it, I later moved away just myself and I'm now in a town 195 miles away;

I do enjoy walking a mile out the road where there are loads of fields aswell as cows & sheep with scenic views, reminds me of those good days summers on the tractor wrapping sillage bales 

I found my rattle - look what Ford left in my seat runner bolt after changing the driver's seat under warranty!

@Lenny you've done the same thing as me and read it as 'cows' instead of 'crows' :laughing:.

@jace1969 we've got crows and magpies that frequent the garden and regularly make good on the left over dog biscuits that are usually spread about or in the steel dog bowls. The greedy birds will often take several chunks of biscuit roughly the size of a £2 coin (twice the width) and then come back a few minutes later for more. Definitely clever birds as they'll sit and watch the dogs eat and then come in and take their share when the dogs are finished OR even when they are mid flow, they'll swoop in, grab and run :laughing:.

Crows can count to 30 and recognise faces of people they see on a regular basis.

🤔How many chickens are behind the front grill 🤭

For that sota money; the mesh should be black at least as it looks like the front end was removed from an 90's Honda Prelude

Yeah I didn't like it. Thats not the real SL65 black series but an SL500 with the black series body kit on it. It's around £15k for the body kit.

Clever birds those crows. Found this interesting piece of research online.

 

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.

However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.

MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.

The Ornithological Behaviorist very quickly concluded the cause: when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger.

The scientific conclusion was that while all the lookout crows could say "Cah", none could say "Truck."

I do like listening to some music on spotify and having a few drinks at home after completing my sixth day of work 🤪

Its nice to momentarily escape; when life feels like its a life sentence 

Then recuperate and do it all for another six again next week

Comfortably Numb 

 

 

😎

Speaking of crows and birds in general 

Theres a neighbour here old guy; he's very friendly lives alone; always has a golden labrador, hes on his second one now as the first died; must be like his trade mark or something 😅 

Always see him walking the dog at 6am when going to work; even in the rain he walks it,

Anyway he has recently gotten in to pigeons; has around fifteen of them and there constantly circling above the house;

Part of me kinda hates it; in a sort of neighbour should hate kinda way; 

But the other half of me sort of likes it in a "clash of clans" sort of way like casting out the pigeons 😂 

There they go again
