Mice still feasting on my peas and sweetcorn seeds

Time to get the cats out earning their keep.

Why not offer them bits of Mars bars instead? Attached to a mousetrap or two of course.

I would but the allotments are in a rural location about a mile from home and if I let them loose there it would take me a week to catch them again !!

[Stephen]

Tie them to the fence with just enough length to cover the allotment.

Watched some of BBC Breakfast this morning from Liverpool - what a moving programme - feel so desperately sad for those families who lost someone. The stories of their loved ones at the end made me cry.

[qbman1]

Seems a shame to go off-topic from something so sad and important but if I don't Merv will be all over us again !!

Now, about that frog.....

Pizza for tea

Just dropped Mrs S off for an evening wining and dining with to work colleagues, meanwhile I've got a Morrison curry ready meal.

Ain't it bl**dy real

New rose bushes, preferably expensive ones.

'Course not. I shall capture them humanely and then release them safely to a new life......on the central reservation of the M40 !!

[Stephen]

Now, you know and I know that you won't.

Your more likely to catch them and feed them carrots and lettuce on a silver platter.

[qbman1]

I have plans to release them into an allotment of someone I don't like ! Got to catch the little sods first. The bloke on the next door plot has had traps out for years and hasn't caught a thing !

We had plans for our moles and the local bowls club...

Twice a year we hear the local farmer out with his gun. For a while all is quiet and (dim pair that we are) we go out and buy plants. The second we plant them, the little b*****s reappear. I know you can do rabbit-proof planting, but the limited selection wears a little thin. The new, now very threadbare, roses are surrounded by extremely fetching wire netting; plan b: landmines.

[qbman1]

I think we have pretty much "rabbit-proofed" the allotment but we have fenced one of the little sods in and he is enjoying his own, personal enclosed run with ample supply of food !

[Stephen]

Is this him.

We did that once. Turned out to be a pregnant female.

I've already had lunch - bit of an anticlimax. Now I have a hankering for rabbit stew !
