Brill day. Had a bit of a rip around Westport and late lunch at The Cove by the lake. The only downside was that it’s near impossible to get decent priced food outside of a chip truck now.
The series The Day of the Jackal is very good. I didn’t think anything would live up to the original film (not the Bruce Willis remake) but this is very close.
Got caught up on a few things..
White Lotus season 3. Slow burn, decent characters, great location and well written again. Worth a watch. Still not as good as the first and second seasons though.
The Last of Us season 2. Still excellent. The special effects and the action scenes are...
Found little beady today under the nest. Poor little guy had just died, I watched mum and dad land nearby and call out to him with no response. I feel weirdly quite sad. Nature is both wonderful and cruel.
I was just emptying some water out of a tarp to stop mosquitos breeding and I got swooped by mum and dad and there was a lot of squawking. Lo and behold beady eyes was somewhere under the tarp and didn’t look too happy. I’ll check in on him in a bit. Not sure if I didn’t get him wet. He’s got...
I was just coming back to update. The little bugger didn’t seem to have very developed feathers and it was getting a bit warm so I scooped him up and put him back in the nest for mum to look after.
Any bird aficionados? The cardinal family seems to have decided today is the day for flying lessons. The chick was found tangled up in the mesh doors of the gazebo early this morning by my wife but managed to untangle himself and has been sitting on the deck under the gazebo ever since. He’s...
I’ve turned into a big softy. Earlier this season we had a couple of cardinals try to make a nest in our gazebo. They did this last year too. We tried to discourage them as the dogs use the gazebo for shade and we use it for bbqs etc so we moved the nest to a better location as they were...
Post surgery infection is a serious issue and there’s more antibiotic resistant bugs showing up in hospitals these days. I agree, there’s a bunch of missing information here.
Thanks for that. It looks like I have a mission this summer to kill the thing. I’m trying to spend about 20 minutes every day doing weeding in the flower beds and between that and heavy mulching most issues are under control except this one.
I just learned that apparently you can eat hosta shoots-check first obviously but I saw something about sautéed hosta shoots on a gardening forum.
I have a flower bed that’s over run with goat weed (gout weed?). I pull it out, try to get as many roots as I can, but it just comes back. Are...
Ok that’s the issue then as I can see that thread section with the JC100 account and I guess I shouldn’t be able to as I don’t have site supporter status. It may be due to an authored thread that was somewhere else previously that got moved there? Every other part of GTAM is slow as molasses...
