Well done South Africa! It’s migrated from the USA to here now and is starting to get out of hand. It was largely ignored in favour of Bonfire Night on November 5th until relatively recently (last 15-20 years)

A similar situation in Denmark, apparently. We’ll celebrate both Halloween and “Lysfest” (Light fest) on the first Friday of November — the beginning of the dark season.

Good morning all We had a good day in Luton yesterday. They won 2-0 and are now 7th in the league :)

We bought daughter a bird feeder for the balcony of her flat as a birthday present. She sent a photo. She is delighted that a bluet!t, like the ones that nested in our garden, has found it already :) (She hasn’t managed to photograph the bird yet)

And today we are back on the road heading to son’s house. When he moved to Hertfordshire he only had a short let as he wanted to move in with a friend from university. That’s happening today and, as he doesn’t have a car, he needs our help. He is moving into London proper; his new flat is in Finchley in north London.

Well done to Luton Town! Our small team from Izmir, Göztepe, defeated one of the Big Three, Besiktas, yesterday 2-0! :) Göztepe made it into the Süperlig (the primary league) for the first time in many years.

They are also good options. My mother in law said that they are known as Butcher Birds here and are very territorial. So I definitely think it is them trying to fight themselves. Did not get a chance to get something but I will look for something online which i can order to put on the windows.

Hmm. Natural selection is always the other way to go about it... Ow, ow, ow, please stop hitting me from all sides... :eek:

Jacques: "I pick THAT one!"

Jacques: "No, the one next to it..."

Jaques: "NO! On the other side of that one!"
Me: "OK- then THIS one?"
Jacques: "YES! I want THAT one!"

LOL. I am in favour of natural selection but if they keep on waking me up early on my sleep in days then it won't be natural selection. Okay I may naturally select to do them some bodily harm. ..... But hopefully it won't come to that.

Good Morning all..

Just catching up on CDR activity....I see Jacques made a few guest appearances.

Here’s a BW pix of the Bald Cypress knees that we were paddling by yesterday. It’s hard to tell where water stops and tree knees begin.
