OK, back from hols, remaining fish stil there, think somebody nicked them thinking they were Kois as only the patterened ones seem to have gone.

Hope Mrs L is ok,

US aircraft over the UK is never a good thing in times like these,

and finally Denmark is bl**dy expensive, but Sweden's cheap at the moment. the beer's good in both...

The pond is now secure, we're away for a few weeks tomorrow so if the rest are still there when we return then....

that was my thought, a bird of some sort, but the pond is close to the house and awkward for anything large to gat at.

The mesh guard is also not damagaed.

I suspect a local cat, but how is a mystery.

well I'm confused, 5 fish have disappeared from my pond..

There's a mesh cover over it which had a small slot, designed to stop cats geting in, but something seems to have had my fish for a late night snack!

The guard is undamaged so what ever it was has got around it, into the watrer and back out again.

Sod!

And just as we're getting ready to go on holiday.

'Cos we're in the age of vintage, retro, recycling and upcycling. Re-use an old test report and save the planet .

And on the subject of re-use, isn't all that trendy AI stuff just a matter of getting a computer to re-use what's already on the internet rather than bothering to do the thinking, looking up and writing yourself? A bit like getting a decorator in to do your house because you can't be bothered then finding that you've got to do a lot of checking and telling them what to do because they learned all they know by watching YouTube videos and don't have any real experience? Or am I just being cynical?

Anybody can learn from youtube, I learn't that it would be easier to let a proffesional mechanic change a gearbox on my car...

And is anybody checking the feed back?

Thinking that one reeview would help sort out the next lens I found I already had it, for several years!!

And in the feed back were dodgy posts!

The link is here for those interested.

My mother lives in Ripon and they're suffering the instalation of a new fibre network system.

Apparently she'll be able to sign up to one of a selection of providers when it all goes live.

that'll be a godsend for me as her current provider is, shall we say, awkward to contact and slow, oh so very slow, it does use the copper telephone line that hasn't been upgraded in the 30 odd years she's lived there.

On the bright side it's stopped raining here
