D&D cool! I was more a Call of Cathulhu man, Lovecraftian horror and zero character survival rate, set's the youthful mind up well for life!
Good stuff of the day

The Mini Beast from the East (well North to be more accurate) is howling around and snow is already settling and we are braced for a few hours of proper snow tomorrow.
It was too windy to get out and clear up the two trees that came down last week so I decided to work indoors and turn some off cuts into bird and bat boxes.
A bit rough and ready compared with some of the craftsmanship that graces this forum but hopefully will be appreciated by the local wildlife and don’t worry, I will be adding some waterproof hinges and some holes!

For a minute there I thought you'd made some specialist boxes for dormice or tree creepers with the holes tucked away at the back. They look good though
My Son brought a new girlfriend home to meet us and I really like her
It's their lives, and we'll see what we see, but...well, I'm his Mum, I can hope

Ha ha, that's cool Mary, always good to like the potential inlaws

Makes a superb concentrated infusion of herbs and spices to age and later flavour your vodka!
An old Swedish tradition. Usually home distillled alcohol was used.

I’ve probably got enough scrap wood to make a treecreeper box - any idea of the size of the triangular hole?
Not sure but I found this article the other day which proposes a different design that's supposed to work well.

Don't forget the clocks go forward tonight. British summer time has returned 
That hour of extra light in the evenings will be very welcome.

In the Autumn when the days shorten, the nights get colder and the leaves die, there will be new life.

I'm no doctor but I'm sure that kid has a cigar on the go in there
Ah! So that's what's causing the morning sickness is it? ....
I do hope so. Generally dogs adjust well, and if he's had an infection on top of the injury he'll already be adjusting to a life on three legs as he'll have been in pain throughout. He'll need short walks for quite a while, no jumping, strict diet for weight control, but he should be ok. Maybe he can be a pet dog from now on?
Just heard that the dog has had the stitches out after the operation has been signed off by the vet and seems to be adjusting to his new life.
The dog’s three trips to the vets were the only time in his nine years he had been into town - not sure he will be in a hurry to go back!
