Don’t underestimate the effect of that constant noise on neighbours…

Caw! That’s one mean looking Corvid, Hedgers. Bet that’s not afraid of no Bird Scarer. Or Farmer, for that matter. Stab his eyes out, more like…  
Stoppit, bee.  
We had a chilly walk, this afternoon, and came across the following shrub because of its glorious honey scent.

‘Sarcococca Confusa’ itizz and it took us ages to locate the source of that wonderful fragrance. Lifted the spirits, it did.

Oh, my word. I am not going to use Corvids or teleporters (wot the heck are they, in RL?) to cause injury or erm worse to my lovely neighbour. But, those Bird Scarers are **really** aggravating. Thanks, joe, for reining in the beely imagination.  
Gin?

Basically a combination of a JCB and a forklift. Definitely _not_ something you’d want ramming your car—and certainly not when you were in it:

> A telescopic handler, also called a lull, telehandler, teleporter, reach forklift, or zoom boom, is a machine widely used in agriculture and industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom (telescopic cylinder), making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can extend forwards and upwards from the vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket, pallet forks, muck grab, or winch.

Ah,yes, the pallet forks…stoppit, bee.  
Thing izz - I am very supportive of farmers in general. I truly believe that our local arable farmer has a right to protect his crops. I understand those around me who have sold (fairly non-productive) land for house-building. But, the horrible noise pollution of the bird scarers, added to the ever present _beep-beep-beep_ of the construction machinery that never seems to go forward, the glore and the ever-filthy car (which Mr Bee says izz driving him mad) izz muddying my rose-tinted speczz.  
Does anyone have a portion of gin, forra bee?

I had me head in the understair cupboard. As a suicide method, it lacks a certain something, that something being efficacy. On the other hand I found some virgin dusters (notta lot of call for them hereabouts) and some forgotten tinsel.
