What’s been getting your goat this week?
Hayfever causing you to want to rip your eyes out? Office air conditioning too cold? Get it off your chest here.
Since I got the bird feeder the other day I’ve became aware of how fucking expensive bird seed is! It’s a fucking fortune, and the greedy bastards have the feeder emptied within an hour of me filling it to the brim.
Stupidly, I feel some sort of fucking responsibility for the little fuckers now. How does that make sense? They obviously survived just fine before I put up a wee pink birdhouse, but nope. Sunk 25 quid on bird seed since I got it.
As I understood it, you should only put food out in the winter when natural food is scarce. They’ll go to your food first as its easier, but they lose the ability to find natural stuff / come to rely on you.
Oh fuck, really? But I love watching them :( There were a bunch of starlings with big juveniles that shrieked to be fed, so at least that made life a bit easier for them I guess.
Acht well, I’ve got a wee bird bath feeder-type thing as well, so I guess filling just the water part will attract enough of them for me to watch.
Edit - had a wee read of the RSPB site which has a good wee section on when and what to feed. It seems that during exceptionally dry periods like this it’s ok to put out because they can struggle to find their natural food, like worms etc. The seed I have has mealworms in it so all is well it seems. Crisis averted!
The trees are still plotting my demise.
This heat is miserable.
I binned all my shorts at the end of last summer and never got around to buying any more. Twat.
Noisy builders. I can handle the hammering, cutting and banging because it’s work, but the fucking radio at full blast is really starting to wear now. Three months of this and counting!
Ugh yeah although for me it’s all the power tools. As soon as the sun comes out, everyone around me decides it’s time to rebuild their entire house starting at 6:55am every day.
From the sound of it, the first step must be blowing the whole thing down with a load of jet engines and drilling into the Earth’s core to trigger an earthquake.
I’m not a morning person
Woke up with a gooch hotter than Satan’s bru
