I'm interested in a gentle run round the Rye

Although this sounds worrying, a "bitey" fox is unusual. I see foxes all the time where I live near Rye Lane and have never experienced this. I've even seen a fox sitting in the garden where an outdoor cat lives, whilst the cat was there - the cat was fine and is still alive. I think my flat is on a fox path because I hear and see them most nights, none of the local cats seem bothered by them. I can't help but wonder what would make the fox act in such a way, I've just read that toxoplasmosis might make them more aggressive

There used to be a digital inclusion hub at the Barbican library, I think it was Tuesday afternoons. You cd ask your closest library if they have anything like this, if not they should think about it as it is necessary. As previously suggested, do be careful as there is so much private info on phones - someone in a hub will be DBS checked

It's composite so pretty easy to cut through. Looks like a spade bit could do the job too actually. No worries, thanks anyway

Wondering if anyone can lend a hole saw for a few hours later next week (probs Fri 5th, I'm waiting on a ypiece delivery) . I just need to cut one round hole in a kitchen worktop (4inch diameter). I'm near Bellenden Rd so can drop back off pretty quickly

I can't make this now unfortunately, see you next time!

We look forward to it!

I just got this from ai in browser: Block Foxholes For Planting To block foxholes when planting, start by securing the perimeter of your garden, as foxes can dig under fences or through gaps. Install L-shaped mesh footings at the base of fences to prevent them from burrowing underneath. For specific planting areas, use wire mesh or a plastic mesh like DigStopper Prickle Strips laid over the soil to create a physical barrier that deters digging. These mesh solutions are effective for protecting bulbs, seedlings, and flowerbeds, and can be cut to fit various shapes. Additionally, covering the planted area with a layer of gravel or sharp-edged stones can make the surface uncomfortable for foxes to dig through.

Re blocking foxholes, it’s suggested first check with wire that no foxes are in there, next block it with hard materials like wire or bricks

One thing people should note before suggesting a cull, foxes eat rats. There is an issue though on some streets, I spoke to someone who lives on a road where they can't have solid bins so the foxes raid the waste all the time. The foxes near me visit every night, they are fine and can't access our bins, but then I only have a shared small patch of grass, there's only a tiny bit of fox poo now and again

The cormorant was somewhere in the water, I think I spotted it from the bridge. Yes blackbird song is incredible, they seem to be very active around dusk
