Ah yes... I remember a certain decapitation anecdote 
Mind you, I feed the ones here. Its a good way to get rid of fat scraps. I throw them on to a sliding tin roof thing. The gulls grab the food while galloping and sliding down it wheeeeeeeee.... Its a Knockout for birds 
That sounds fun... my roof's a little high though. I accidentally hit a magpie with a bin bag during the week. Normally crows I hit.. branching out. 
I saw baby coots today. Little late, but they were very noisy.
You hit a magpie with a bin bag 
How is that possible You've seen my sliding gulls and raised me !
Baby coots, how lovely 
In your local park was this?
It was in the bin. Put the lid up when I'm on the brock, so I can chuck the bags in without having to touch it. Magpie was in eating waste from an earlier bag... it then got a fright...
Local park indeed. Little late in the year, I think... There's a video on my facebook, they squeak! Squeak!
Sliding gulls are epic though.
Yes, it does seem a bit late. Do baby coots really squeak?
They are the squeakiest! 
Cuuuuuuuuuuuute. Is it a nice park? Must be nice in Autumn.
It is. *nods* Quite a famous park, it used to be a quarry... but when they found fossilised trees they built a pavilion around them... and then a park. It's Victoria Park (including the Fossil Grove).
What a cool thing to have in your local park.That and the coots
Indeed. I really appreciate it.
Owen sent me some snaps of his garden including this bumblebee on a dahlia - isn't it brilliant?
Below, those are bee mites between its wings. I saw it in zoom... shivvvvver ....euggghhh
Gorgeous... if we ignore the mites. There was a bee disaster in America because of the zika spraying.
Yes, so sad that, especially as colonies were declining anyway.
*tries to save all the bees*
*remembers she find insects icky*
*tries to save bees from a distance*
Hello. Thought you might like this article about CBT and cartoons. A lot of people saying the song in it helps them... and it's just an ace song on it's own. It's a good cartoon.
Aw thanks a million Hitch 
That's really interesting 
It's actually a great way to explain MCBT [ Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy ] something I've tried to do on kindle and audiobook, but found way too complicated and brain-befuddling.
Cartoon it's from is very good at explaining things to kids... and deals more maturely with with themes than most grown-up shows. *nods*
Hi there, thought this might be of interest,
BBC 4 @ 8 pm tonight - The Brecon Beacons, with Iolo Williams.
I couldn't even see her posts the other day... Has anything happened on another thread?
I did feel things were getting a bit quieter on this thread. And I'm not good at drawing people out, so I hope I haven't driven her off with my rambling.#
Fingers crossed things are ok. I'll let you know if she gets back to me.
