I live on MG - my neighbour mystifies me - he goes out most days at about 7.30am dressed fairly smartly, and then doesn?t come back till about 7 in the evening. What is he doing? He quickly mumbled something about ?the office? when I asked him recently. But I thought most people freelanced round here don?t they? That?s what I do anyway - drop the kids off, Cafe for a quick coffee, then freelance 10-12, lunch 12-1, then freelance 1-3, pick the kids up at 3.15, then go to the swings with the kids and chat to the other parents like me, then get the kids dinner and then wait for Mrs Bob to come back from her hospital shift at about 7, help her cook our dinner, watch Netflix or C4+1, then bed at 10:30. I think my neighbour has misunderstood something about what he should be doing on a day-to-day basis (and his house is smaller then mine).

Bob, I hope for your sake, you're also squeezing in a Pilates session in the mornings, just to make sure you can wear your lycra when you drop the kids off...

Small flat screen, big ones are vulgar.

    • The venn diagram of people who are personally really bothered by the noise from GALA and are also deeply concerned about the local bat population looks remarkably just like a circle.
    • Language is a fluid and evolving thing and as it changes the original meaning of words can alter to take on a new true meaning or meanings. Original meaning is not the same as true meaning. Take the word literal which is now used to mean the very opposite of how the word used to be used, irritating for some of us but demonstrates the English language is vibrant and alive and also very subjective. But I must go and make myself a cup of tea now or I will literally die of thirst 
    • With the right type of feeder arrangement the access by parakeets, squirrels and rats can be eliminated completely. Likewise, the spread of disease can be minimised. The best method is to hang individual feeders inside a wire  cage that has a 2"x2" mesh on all sides that is mounted above ground. Being above ground it stops slugs and rats getting in. And with mesh on the bottom,the risk of transmitting disease from any droppings is eliminated. Small birds feel safe from predators in three These cages are available online for about £33
    • It is worthwhile noting that the original technical meaning was 'a reduction of 10%', which does not, to my mind, chime at all with 'drastically reduce'. I know that's how it is, I think lazily, often used nowadays but it does allow 'decimate' to be used so loosely that it loses meaning. And it can be confusing to those who know it's original meaning. I think that the fact that decimate and devastate are close homonyms does not help things here.
