Random Stuff Part 21

[McAz]

Just had my driving licence photo taken - if evil is written on your face then the next stop for me is Hell.

Micky, if you're looking in, I apologise - compared to what I've just seen you are an Adonis.

My previous driving licence photo was really nice and my signature was clear and looked just like my signature. When I renewed it last year, the photo was taken in a funny little booth at the post office - producing a horrible grainy image - purportedly of of me - looking like a cross between a convict and a mosaic and I had to "sign" on an electronic pad with a stick-like tube with a point which kept slipping up inside the tube, rendering my "signature" just a random squiggle.

So now I have a photo licence which looks nothing like me and a signature which looks nothing like mine... and this is what we define as progress.



Where is Micky anyway. I've been away since Monday afternoon and he doesn't seem to have been around today.

Did he start a new job on Monday?

I feel your pain - I'm having an esteem crisis, didn't even dare go to M&S for some food in case they barred me on the grounds of gross hideousness.


Haven't seen Micky either - perhaps he's out looking for a YMCA where the IP isn't blocked?

Here's my winning formula that the birds love.

A mug of self raising flour.
3 eggs
125g of butter or soft baking butter

Whisk it up. Grease a small tin. Put it into the oven for 15 minutes. If you have a food processor then use that. Don't make extra work for yourself.

When cooled. Chop it into tiny bits. And then feed them.

The birds love this just as much as love mealworms

My one surviving lupin is out but my fox gloves look a bit dwarfed this year.

why would you use a food processor instead of an oven

Add some bird seed to it and they will love it even more

I used to put fat balls in the trees, but now the space is too small and the cats too catty

They've got loads of bird seed. They have found a way of knocking all the bird seed out of the feeders so that I refill it. So there's loads on the ground and bird feeder too.

You use the processor after the cake is cooked and cooled.
You need to blink your eyes more. Keep looking at the screen makes
your eyes dry.

Just get a bird table. The cats can't get to them on that. I used to buy the coconut feeders for 2 for 99p from pound stretcher but then decided to use the coconut shells and fill with lard or coconut oil plain flour and peanuts blended in the nutribullet. ( might have eggs too). But it's getting too hot now and it melts in the sun. So I've got about 6 in the fridge and will put them out until they're gone.

I do love watching their antics. I've got blue tits, robins, chaffinch, pied wagtails starlings that are hooligans and a great big magpie. He loves a poached egg and the cake. And they all piss off when he arrives!

oh yes they can

Bengalboys can pretty much climb anywhere they like

it does sadden me having to discourage the birds as I love watching them

Ok. If I very well 'must' explain myself. I added that in after. Shoot me.
