De-moled.

We are a mole free zone.
We have a bill for £120, but we can now look out on G's well tended lawns without wincing at the disfiguring piles of soil.
We seem to have more birds in the garden than I have seen for years. Swallows & wrens are nesting in the stables, thrushes in the honeysuckle, blackbirds,sparrows robins & a variety of finches in unidentified corners of the garden.
The swallows do perch on the washing line on their approach to the stables & occasionally plop on the washing - only sheets & large items of course - this seems a small price to pay.
Swallows nested there every year until an extreme winter in the late eighties, I think, when the population was decimated.

I have had a quiet day - washing out (to entertain the swallows), floors washed then off to Coleshill to the cleaners, bank, chemists & hairdressers, to make an appointment for next week, prior to the wedding.
On to the gym for a good session & a swim then to Shirley to pick up Jessie from school.
She looked very cool in her yellow school dress, pink sun hat & pink, fur-trimmed thermal gloves. We read & coloured in teddy bears, deciding what each colour could hide in for an hour or so before coming home to prepare salmon for dinner...eventually.
G is mowing the field, first.

I think that I am not tanked.
