Great photos yet again @professor
How many miles today?

professor · May 2, 2021, 5:13pm

Thanks, only 40 miles through hills. 5 mins in a bus shelter and 10 mins behind a wall was all I needed to dodge showers. Carry waterproofs but these showery days the odd pause and check the Anker community is sufficient.

I wonder if the fairy will give me some luck, I’ve not won anything at Anker / Soundcore for about 6 months

I am sure you will make a real big point one day,
Not only one cable!
No!!!
You will get a double pack!

I love the new antique look of the rave

LOL

Good work @professor

Hopefully your luck will change soon and a little comes my way too!
I’m not having much (any) luck on either, although I’m not spending much time on either so that may have something to do with it.

Hey everyone.
Hope you are all keeping safe and well and enjoying life.

Hit the track yesterday for the first time in a while.
At the 12 mile marker I think Charlie’s bum was suffering, he managed the rest of the ride home (4 miles) without too much fuss

Recently bought him a new cycle helmet (or bash hat as he calls it) so we can see him in a crowd or when he bikes off through the rough.

It’s a Bank Holiday here in the U.K. so an extended weekend for us here!

Enjoy your week everyone.

The color of the bash head and the bicycle is perfect.
Give Charlie a hug from me as usual!

paulstevenewing · May 3, 2021, 9:43am

Morning Franz.
Yes! Charlie’s favourite colour is bright green so he is super pleased
Charlie says “good morning” we are currently at the shoe shop, time for new school shoes.

Great news for all!!!

We got a blackbird’s nest in the quinces tree.
Mr & Mrs “Amsel” are busy.
This is Mr. “Amsel” (yellow beak)
I know I can not do a daily report, but I will take some photos from time to time.
Hope its not boring.

I filled my water pump gun to drive the cats away.
But the branches of the quinces are full of stings/spikes,
so the cats will not try.

But the squirrels!!!

Photo is lousy, because its not easy to approach.
But Mr & Mrs. “Amsel” will know me soon as the best friend they ever had!

Blackbird protector is needed @professor

I’d put an old phone with a large Powercore there running motion detection app and record them over next couple of weeks

Chiquinho · May 3, 2021, 10:40am

The poor birds!
They may not like a “total observation”.
Me too.

BUT!
If I get such a Eufy-camera i can do. (Live stream->day and night)
Are bird’s intimacies allowed?

lanadu67 · May 3, 2021, 1:42pm

Classis photo & child! Nice…

professor · May 3, 2021, 2:33pm

I wonder if this will attach to helmet?

Or

lanadu67 · May 3, 2021, 2:19pm

You’re an orangutan, @professor. (one of a kind) LOL

paulstevenewing · May 3, 2021, 4:50pm

If the flag was bright green @professor I’m sure he would be up for it!

professor · May 3, 2021, 5:06pm

He’ll thanks you afterwards

Chiquinho · May 3, 2021, 5:08pm

The eagle has some “aerodynamic drag”.
You will lose about 5 km per hour!

paulstevenewing · May 3, 2021, 6:19pm

I’ll show him tomorrow @professor
He’s now.

paulstevenewing · May 3, 2021, 6:22pm

He averages 8-9mph so don’t think he could sacrifice that much loss @Chiquinho ‍♂

ktkundy · May 3, 2021, 6:24pm

Unless you make the flag more so into a sail and then he could really be flying on that bike
