Today off to Peterborough to look at one of the first 500 Range Rovers made, 1970 registered January 1971, Its a tricky one because you cant go round restoring everything, preservation is the thing

Re: What are you doing today??
I cut my grass first, then power-washed the patio, then power-washed the stone ctircle area and the coping stones on top of the wall. (I like power-washing). Fed all the birdies and topped up their feeders, them moved it on to the grass beacause all the seeds the little feckers drop are starting to sprout through my chipped area. So we weeded that then I got the burning wand out and roasted any feckin' seeds that thought they might have a second go. Then we went to Asda for essentials, came back and put some more mealy worms in the bird feeder 'cos they don't last 2 minutes. Our hotels are coming out of lockdown on 15th so I've booked 3 nights up at Dundonnell in Wester Ross to get away for a bit. Busy day...

Received a little video well 8 secs of the Healey keyside in La Rochele with a crowd gathering and 2 of them turned out to be president of the French Austin Healey club, what an adventure for the car and the new owner,

Won't work Cam, we had a friend many years ago who had the same problem with gulls on her balcony in Albir, when I asked if the owl was effective {she was Dutch} she said "no I think the owl also shits on the balcony"

You need something that moves erratically so that they don't get used to it E.G.a windmill that stops and starts moving

Re: What are you doing today??
Nephew called and wanted me to help find a place on Ilkely moor now he is a bit barking and i dont know who he takes after, so off we went and when we got there he goes off road in his Toyota Land cruiser and starts charging up the Moor, we came across an old couple who wern't best pleased they had to move off the track, the old bloke pulls out his phone and starts filming us, my nephew stops and opens the sunroof and gets his drone out and starts filming the couple, she had more sense that him and took off down the moor, he stands there chest out still filming so nephew dive bombs him and chases him down to his car still filming while he sits in his car, nephew drops down to take his reg number then back to film him through the windscreen, he started his car up and drove off with nephew still filming him through the side window, the old kid must have thought WTF
we found it highly amusing because we have the same sick minds, stay off the Moor folks,
no we didn't find the place where he buried the body
