Picture(s) of the day....

[Gibbo2286]

I've currently got 'Helga' up in the air on four axle stands so I can go underneath on the creeper and inspect and Waxoyl various bits. Despite the fact it's as solid as a rock on them, I really don't feel comfortable underneath the car

I knew a Helga once, I didn't feel comfortable under her either!

Bad boy, go and stand in the corner!

Catkins in the wood today...

Pottering around the back I see there are some growing there too, never noticed them before but do recall the woman next door harvesting willow twigs to weave into baskets or whatever.

Was a bit blowy out there, hence the lack of sharpness.

Some other strange things growing there too.

Some dirty animals about aren't there. I think when they catch those fly tippers they should be put on a year long cleaning the streets job. (and a guy with a whip behind them)

Agreed, it is absolutely disgraceful behaviour..

No pictures unfortunately but tenuously related to the catkins taken at last week's parkrun, this week at parkrun we had a massive flock (is that the correct collective noun?) of twitchers on the common with some very sexy camera gear hoping to catch a glimpse of a very rare bird that had allegedly been seen a day or so ago; a Richard's Pipit.

There has been no news so far to report if they succeeded in getting a good photo of it...

Says the man who parked this in a respectable residential location this week!!!

Stolen from Jim's blog!!

It's the people next door, that stuff has been in their garden for the past year.
There's also a pile of wood over the other side, remains of a fence.

Been there since before Christmas.

I'm hoping that next door has contacted the council to have it removed. She is usually OK

These are off-the-scale cute

Seen during our special muddy trail run today. Seems they are happy to live with sheep...

[myglaren]

They are excellent guards for sheep.

Ahh, that's great!

[Gibbo2286]

I wonder if they'll cross breed and if so what would the result be called?

[mickthemaverick]

I'd go for Al Lamb as in ex England batsman!!

First snowdrops that I have seen this year. A big improvement on all the litter and dogshite.

Did see a load of Crocus the other day but was on a bus that was past them before I could even think of getting the phone out.

[mickthemaverick]

Awful traffic en route so I arrived 25 mins late and hence now 3rd in the queue!
