Bobcats run in packs down here. It's not pretty to see them take someone down.

Wah, you're scaring me, man! Up here they're only about 15 inches tall and tend to be solitary.

I am hoping it will be too cold for copperheads to be active. As for the bears, we'll just try to keep some noise going between groups, as bears will head away from people noises.

Unless...

they're REALLY HUNGRY!  :nailbite:

Lol, we have biggish black bears around here. Last time we went camping, we heard people pretty much every night we were there clanging pots and pans together and yelling to scare them off. Out camping spot was also within fifty feet of humane bear trap, which caught a cub.  :o
(there's joke around here that if you get in between a sow and her cub, you should punch the cub since you're going to die anyway)

Discovered that cold feet are not conducive to meditation in yoga. Must remember socks!

The great patio re-mortaring exercise is almost complete. Down to the last 25KG bag of mortar. Wonder if there's any chance of getting H.M. to re-open it.

Saturday: photocopied the last page of the Tax Return. Sunday: cross checked had photocopied all pages. Exhausted.

Today: Project PostOffice: post Tax Return - significant event: wake up (tick now awake).

A few things over the weekend but the really significant was on Friday afternoon when I went to vote.

Posted Tax Return next day delivery. Stapled receipt to photocopy ;)

Now can someone kindly shut that wretched woman on the TV up - if I hear her go on about time running out for Tax Returns one more time I may have to smash my TV.

It rarely does but then again in 2000 all it took were 537 votes. In any case I feel I did my duty, I expressed my "belief" in the system (or better, my belief that the alternatives are far worse), ratified that which allows me to express my self without immediate fear of incarceration or worse, and finally because I feel that my vote its slightly less meaningless that those in places like Iran or Cuba.

Yeah, I was only kidding.  Always vote, but have always lived in places (Surrey, rural Cambridgeshire) which are solid blue (Tory) and where the outcome is never in doubt.

If there is something widely known about elections in Florida is that the outcome is always in doubt. ;)
