    My wife pointed out that the garage roof was covered in water this morning after the storms last night. So out with the ladder and a stick to unblock the drain hole. No joy, the blockage was down further than my stick could reach. So joined two sticks together and about six foot down I could feel the blockage, a few good shoves and suddenly its like the sluice gates have been opened on Hoover Dam. Most satisfying!.....

    ...... I think I need to find myself a hobby!

    Not as bad as fly tipping, but in a similar vein, bloke with no rod licence out fishing near my mate today got caught by the environmental agency, £2500 fine apparently.

    Canadian broadcasting co. have joined the EBU (European Broadcasting Union, yep that’s right) making them eligible to enter Eurovision. The more the merrier I say. Maybe Justin Beiber or Drake will enter.

    Celine Dion has already won it. She was the Swiss entry early on in her career.

    I cycled a very unfit 58 miles today, Plumstead to Rochester and back. My feet were burning and my legs saying no, but I drove it home. My longest cycle in a very long time.

    Just downloaded it as there was a lot of bird noise coming from the garden. We have a lot of Corvids that visit and I suspected that the call was from a Jackdaw, but wanted to confirm. It had been making a racket for ages, but as soon as I put my phone outside to check with the app, it stopped. :/

    I do know what a Jackdaw looks like, but it wasn't visible.

     Getting 56.49 mpg out of my petrol-engined Mercedes B200 today on a 326 mile motorway trip today!
    Even better than my diesel CLA did!

    Merlin app confirming that the bird noise is that of Eurasian Jackdaw.
