Careful Keno, you’ll be accused of still living in the 1970’s  |  |

I had a fox go through my front garden the other night. Looked quite majestic trotting through the snow. I don’t think it was an indication of spring. |  |

Snow is the giveaway, right? |  |

It was this poem that first (in my late 20s) really got me into loving poetry -
“The thought fox” by Ted Hughes
I imagine this midnight moment‟s forest:
Something else is alive
Beside the clock‟s loneliness
And this blank page where my fingers move.
Through the window I see no star:
Something more near
Though deeper within darkness
Is entering the loneliness:
Cold, delicately as the dark snow,
A fox‟s nose touches twig, leaf;
Two eyes serve a movement, that now
And again now, and now, and now
Sets neat prints into the snow
Between trees, and warily a lame
Shadow lags by stump and in hollow
Of a body that is bold to come
Across clearings, an eye,
A widening deepening greenness,
Brilliantly, concentratedly,
Coming about its own business
Till, with a sudden sharp hot stink of fox
It enters the dark hole of the head.
The window is starless still; the clock ticks,
The page is printed.

Could be vegetarian foxes maybe, according to this article a lot of cables in cars are now soya based

2, have you trained them to just eat the cables on my car ..... (as if I would do that.....) | |

That's right Ken, blame the foxes for cutting Mrs Kenos brake pipes... |  | | |

When I lived out in the wilds of the Orkney Islands 30 years ago, I had a major problem with my old Volvo not starting - cue the local garage traipsing out at least twice to try different things, including a new battery - nothing worked.
They eventually found a rat had been nesting under the bonnet & had chewed right through the battery cable. The little (big) s**t. [Post edited 20 Dec 2022 12:01]

The one thing I have noticed is the number of Blackcaps that are now over wintering in the UK. There was always a small population in the South West in the cold months, but I have seen so many photos from people enquiring as to what these pretty birds are. I also gather there are Willow Warblers over wintering too.
Global warming. |  | | |

Just had a male blackcap in my front garden. I think it might have been attracted to the christmas lights which are in the style of red berries. | |
