I hope that once this damn virus is dealt with, Pi gets to go to Buck House and meet Her Maj.
Late OH (not from this area) was so wowed by them, that he started putting chicken or chop bones, on our flat garage roof, and yes they’d swoop down whenever. He did eventually snap them by hiding in the backdoor of the garage. However after he died, I soon stopped... the garage roof had begun to leak. Our local handyman who does lots of jobs for us, went up there, and where their claws or beaks had landed, there were the leaks! But before he could repair it, a couple swooped down one day just above my head when I was hanging washing out - the line runs between two trees across the back of the garage .... ye God’s that was terrifying! However they’re always around as a neighbour a few doors down obviously still puts food out! Beware! They are huge.Voiceoftreason? wrote: ↑31 May 2020 19:23 Getting harassed by a cheeky crow as well! They’ve got immense eyesight to spot food from such heights. You have to lay in wait for them and run multi frames probably MJ
I have some things in my car which need to go the tip bit they are to heavy for me to lift. Is there any help available there?C.A.Versham wrote: ↑02 Jun 2020 23:21 Visited the tip today. No queue. Very well organised. Booked a week in advance. Less clutter!
The guidance states that there is no help available to unload your car. However, when I visited one of the staff did lift an item over the wall for someone who he asked to leave it there and then dealt with it when she had moved away. Otherwise it would be a matter of relying on the goodwill of other users to help you I'm afraid. Provided you socially distanced apart from the danger of damaging one's back it may not be a problem.annap wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020 01:38I have some things in my car which need to go the tip bit they are to heavy for me to lift.

Thanks - it all sounds a bit uncertain, and I don't want to go there and find that I have made a wasted journey. I read on local social media the other day that there is someone who will come and collect (he has a licence) small loads and take them for you, and it is probably sensible for me to pay for that. Thanks for the advice, really usefulC.A.Versham wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020 10:10The guidance states that there is no help available to unload your car.

They might be waiting for RBC to pick up as part of the bulky waste collection service MJ? I was giving them the benefit of the doubt buuuuuuut my instinct tells me, you’re right probably dumped.
Yes, it’s just up from the bollards cutting off ?? St Romans’ Road? There are two semi detached houses on the left hand side going up Grovelands. This looks to be just outside the grey one of the pair.Ollycat wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020 18:48 https://www.lovecleanstreets.com/report ... 3da3ce20b8
Is it this lot, reported on Love Clean Streets, 111 Grovelands Rd?
Oh yes, we’ve got that too... no not very pleasant, but the rain is welcome.
Ah now that’s what we had for a couple of days, but this morning it was proper rain!
... ah but you haven’t got a garden Pete, nor presumably 4 waterbutts to fill!
Lucky you - mine has a notice on its site such that they are planning to open on 4 .July, but the first week is already booked and would people please only call for appointments for the weeks after!
Mine has a voicemail message but they say they update on Facebook - which I don’t belong to. Just have to wear a hat in the meantime and wait til they re open to join the scrum!
Of course I have a garden, no water butts required here though as we aren't in the Tropics!
It's absulutely pouring here and has been for several hours.VoT - try and do a search for the name of your hairdresser and the phrase:Voiceoftreason? wrote: ↑12 Jun 2020 13:14Mine has a voicemail message but they say they update on Facebook - which I don’t belong to.

Oooo yeah! Lockdown locks
. Take the opportunity to have a complete change. Once saw a woman have her head shaved, and the resulting stubble bleached blonde and had a load of brown and red leopard blobs put on. Be very fetching on you Liz....
