Doing the Hokey Cokey and splashing in a puddle in wellies would count Moos.



Disappointing that by the age of 5 you weren't a professional liquorice allsort, though. Did your school reports used to say something like 'shows promise but must apply herself more', hmm?

I may be mistaken but I got the impression that the nebish was trying to emulate the master. AA Gill's writing style looks deceptively effortless. I can see how budding amateurs could be enticed into futile attempts at mimicry.

I don't think they're bum chums, as we used to say in my schools. Both primary and secondary.

However, I reckon Adrian likes to take Jeremy on some of his restaurant outings in order to sort out decent mechanics for his Bentley, and to camply imply he had to let him know which fish fork he should eat his cheesecake with.

    • 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

    • 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.
