Good eating, and easy to shoot with an air riffle

We have around 3 dozen or so arrive every day, they are so tame they eat from my hand.

Shame we can't get them to only do in the pigeons but they are behaving normally and it's nice that they are around and not just all getting killed for being hawks.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
I am fed up with a certain person on FB who comments on every posting I make in a very nitpicking manner.

<<hugs>> I have a friend on FB who gets negative comments from one of their friends who always comes over as being very sure that she is so much better at living her life. I don't really remember her ever showing any support, understanding or humour. Maybe she is a nicer person in real life.
Glad I rarely have to deal with such unsportive and humourless people in my life. Living in my little bubble does have some compensations.

New jar of Mayo: Top was so tight I had to get a Mole wrench on it to release the vacuum.

Now don't go blaming your age on a lack of air in the jar, just do what the rest of us do pop next door and get the young lass to open it for you old timer  .

Just put an elastic band around the lid then twist off. Works every time.
