LOL.

I laughed early yesterday morning when the "expert" financial pundits said, "Oh no, the Fed won't bring in rate cuts early. That would signal a panic."


Isn't it also amusing how the so called highly paid, hugely bonused, financial experts in the worlds big banks have all screwed up big time to the tune of billions being written of as bad debt and billions being wiped of the stock markets. I reckon the average housewife would do a better job.

I read a story in one of the freebies given out at the train station this morning regarding the young woman murdered in Croydon and the trial of her alleged killer. He is claiming that he had sex with her dead body but didn't kill her. I don't know which is the more heinous crime, and why he would think that one is less despicable than the other. It makes your skin crawl.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
