My vinyl LP collection when CDs started to become ubiquitous. A lot of memories in those albums... I guess that, for many people now, all their music is streamed.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe, an Israeli Historian. I thought it useful to understand some of the background to the current shocking conflict in the Middle East, particularly as it seems to have the potential to mushroom into something much more sticky. Let us hope not!

You can also rig the tarp on your car, along with a pole or two. This can give you some shade or shelter when having a picnic. Or a little privacy if one of the picnic group needs a comfort break. You can rig it on the side of the car or over the boot. Or both. Regardless of the weather, the...

Well tidy video, many thanks. Looked like a great few days. And y'all managed to sneak in an Illegal Rave too. Plus a Public Execution. Ace...

I unscrew the trap's own bait tray at the top and use one of those Cotton Wool Bud things (the ones on a small stick) to smear the paste around. Ditto to smear upwards from the entrance to the trap. I think that even if you remove the gas cylinder there's still a charge waiting to go off if you...

Trap now been out for 5 weeks. Counter reading 14 today, with 6 confirmed squirrels (either as bodies or confirmed by Trailcam), and - sadly - 3 bycatch mice. That leaves 5 "trigger events" unaccounted for. As well as baiting according to the instructions, I've been smearing some of the...

Always a few, of various denominations, in the car for parking meters, etc.

A Kingfisher zipping along the River Wye near Hay-on-Wye. Also there was a pair of Swans with only one Cygnet. I wonder if it's river pollution, bird flu or lack of food: I'd normally expect to see perhaps 3 or 4 Cygnets with their Mum and Dad.

Well, having got this far in the thread, I'm wondering if some of us should either halve or double their medication...

Why does the English word for Syllable have more than one?

The one at the bottom of your pic shaped like an open number 4. (OK, OK, not very funny...)

Did you carve that stick yourself?

Spanish, before I went to Spain for a few months. I did find it easier to "read" the Spanish newspapers than listen to / watch the news there. The newsreaders seem to be able to talk at warp speed for several minutes without taking a breath. And I'd catch maybe one word in a hundred or so.

Yup. Whilst our bodies get older through the years, we don't necessarily grow up!

Very impressive! And despite all that work, you still manage to find time to get outdoors!

The trap has been out there for a week now. Around the tree is maize / corn bait. Smeared in places on the tree up from there is the GoodNature hazelnut paste; also on and above the trap itself. Bait topped up daily. Trailcam showing increase in Squirrel activity around the area from before...

My wife and I made a conscious decision not to have children. They're both taking it very badly...

Yup, will do. But it may be a little while yet... The trap is placed where there has been recent sightings of squirrel with my trailcam, and recent damage to the trees around. I've baited around the foot of the tree with some maize, and smeared some Hazelnut paste on the tree above the maize...

Arrived a couple of days ago and now set up, along with my trailcam watching: https://goodnaturetraps.co.uk/shop/a18-grey-squirrel-sentry-kit/ The born-out-of-wedlock Grey Squirrels have seriously damaged almost all my Silver Birches in the woodland over the last two or three years, and have...

Physics tells us that light travels faster than sound. Is that why some people appear bright until they speak?
