Anybody watch the mens 65kg wrestling bronze medal match. Hilarious shenanigans at the end by the Mongolians. The gold medal match was over in 2 mins 5 secs flat

Just seen a mouse hanging out on my Hughes lnb, dog pointed it out, as I went over for a look the mouse, ran down the lnb arm, and jumped in to a bush.

Looking at him he was about 2 1/2" long, brown in colour.

I think he was after the fat balls in the bird feeder.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to have mice in the garden?

Neither good, nor bad - just inevitable.

And don't forget you're never more than a few feet from the nearest rat .....

I have at least two.A field mouse in the shed.A big eared one in the garden that comes to the bird tray after the suet.That, I have been informed is probably a wood mouse.
They are over twenty metres from the house.As long as they stay there they are not a problem.

First mouse of the season caught in the loft.... well, they did harvest the field next door a couple of days ago

Clever mice, having the wit and wherewithal to harvest a field.

I'm impressed!

I don't mind them, I guess I shouldn't feed them.

But I like to encourage the wildlife in to the garden.

As I am right in the town centre. Sadly Boss, the hedgehog is no more (boss was the name I gave her)

We had caravan utilising nomadic travelers in the car park, last year, they killed a load around here. :-(

The wildlife needs all the help it can get.

We all know that Chris, when we have a spare quid or euro, we´ll chuck them your way.

This really makes my blood boil!

This is a builders van, working for the housing association, there are over 10 empty parking spaces for them to use.

There are only 2 disabled bays, the builders are parked in both!



I have tweeted the photo in a bid to name and shame them!

The builders can walk the extra few steps.

Ps just tweeted it on @yplc and emailed the builders and housing association.

Bad news for Yeovil area, 3 more car parks have our caravanning utilising nomadic travelers back!

Need to keep an eye out, as I have a Carpark right behind me, they like it there too.

The wildlife are still trying to recover from the last time they came here, not to mention what our friends did in the school grounds, plus the public foot patch!
