The plague of jackdaws appears to have eased off, thank god.

They were ridiculously noisy last week. God knows where they have gone.

We have perigrines nesting near us. Nothing has anything on the noise they make!

I'll take that challenge.

We have loads of seagulls nesting on, and around, the roofs at work and quite a few have chicks. It's a full on cacophony.

Yeah, but you're not trying to sleep at 2am when you're at work

The flock of jackdaws in the valley was into several hundred, and every one of those us bloody noisy.

I'm jealous of you having peregrines nearby. We have buzzards and the odd kite. I've seen two hawks here in the last ten years.

I always imagined you older than that!

Falling apart at 37 for me. Certainly seems to have got worse this last year!

I’m 42 years old. Last three years have been dreadful as well. Covid twice, three asthma attacks and 15 bowel polyps removed in three colonoscopies

Makes more sense. Another 10 years for life to have beaten you down

I think it's due to the babies. I noticed a few fledglings near me and now they are a little older they are noisy. Saw one getting fed by its parent today and it was making a right racket until it got more food.

That sounds like my kids.

How the hell can I get sinusitis this bad in the summer. Right side of my face and head feels like it’s gonna explode. Eye is killing me.

Im jealous of anyone who doesn’t get sinusitis. To describe the pain to those jammy sods. I say it’s like someone setting fire to your glasses then kick them inside your face

In spoons.

My mate has just explained, at some length, how much he wants to bang Marina, the puppet off Stingray.

Would it just be a quick fling, no-strings attached?

I read this, closed the tab, then came back to tell you hang your head in shame.

If it makes you feel better, I had this today, and no I'm not senior. I've also now got a tennis ball and squash ball sized black spots bouncing round my field of view like an old screensaver. (air bubbles - should disappear in a few days)

I spend way too much time in 3D modelling and similar 3D design packages... couple of days recently I've paused a YouTube video and tried to pan around it to get a better look at something LOL.

Wait till they fledge then it goes on all day and night at least they're quiet at the moment, other than covering my car in crap (thank the lord for some rain this evening to wash it off)

I have tried to pinch-zoom a book or magazine at least 2 times this year!

Also sometimes find myself double-hitting the space bar expecting it to give me a full stop and a space. Brain slowly rewiring itself!

This instant I am home after 4 days of mayhem trying to finish my house move and incurring substantial family drama in the process. I may have burned some bridges.
