COLD DARK ROOM

[Ray--Opo]

Called Florida Wild and Game
Exotic species dept. and sent them the video. Also gave them my address. So they can monitor the nutria. They are an evasive species.
When I lived in Louisiana, the folks there said they are great eating. I never had the opportunity to eat one.

Just correcting myself and the two injured horses are Trojan and Vida and they were spooked by builders dropping something near them.

Were the horses in their stable or were they being rode?

One of my sons says the animal is a chupacabra!
I will have to move Opo inside 🤣

The horses were members of the Household Cavalry and they were carrying out military duties when some builders dropped something nearby. Four horses bolted and dropped their riders. The riders were okay alongwith members of the public. The of the horses were recaptured uninjured and Trojan and Vida were eventually recaptured after having crashed into a bus and another vehicle.

Five military horses ran amok in London yesterday and two of them are in a serious condition! Please pray for them🙏

Natrah

🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏. Sent. The poor horses just probably got spooked with all the chaos in a large city.

I was wondering if he was thinking capybara and had to look. Nope it's not a capybara but nutria have a couple of things in common with them.( I'm not even looking up a chupacabra🙃) but I found out For one they're both from South America and two they're invasive

To the folks in Louisiana, they are "good eating", so there's that. LOL, I couldn't resist.

Slow day here, superman took a complete day off to heal a bit. Shoulders, arms to my fingers all sore....and it was cold at 65F today so I stayed indoors and relaxed.

Hope that horses that got hurt are ok and won't have to be destroyed.

Kerry will be back tomorrow evening, that will be nice.

I have never understood how someone born in Turkey came to be the English saint. One of life's great mysteries. 🤔
But belated Happy Sy George's Day to all English members anyway.

Wow there were a lot of horses. It's amazing and thankful there weren't more injuries.

I think he thinks so also 🤗 he doesn't care if he looks like a rag muffin with his clothes. BUT he does care if his hair cut sucks. 😉

Good afternoon evening all, I've been a bit busy with family and house stuff and then fell over and hurt my wrist and hand so it was painful to type. I didn't have the patience to try one handed. All good now though.
I've been keeping up with your latest posts so looks like everyone's present and correct and hopefully as well as you seem.
We've had the same old mixed weather lately - still pretty cold for April; we've had a couple of dryish days but rain is back over the weekend.
I hope everyone here has a good weekend.

They are the ceremonial horses used by the Kings household cavalry etc. and have a great life but the builders spooked them. I haven't heard how the 2 injured horses are, the picture of them covered in blood was very sad to see.

Happy Earth Day to all.

That's a pretty bird!
My nasty neighbours are up to their old tricks and have no consideration for the Earth or anyone/thing on it.
I love to feed and watch the birds and at last count had 13 different species popping in. However yesterday lots of shiny foil ribbons attached to 3 foot poles appeared above their fence. They are bird scarers
They obviously don't like the birds sitting on their fence en route to my bird diner. Maybe it's bird poop they object to, but it's a damned sight easier to clean up than their cat poop which is deposited in my garden. I haven't said anything because I've been assured that the birds will soon get used to it and ignore them. 🤞 I do hope so - I didn't see any goldfinches today and they usually visit everyday.

Then this evening the woman started washing her paved garden and fake grass with chemicals, fine if they kept it in their own garden but they were power hosing it all under their gate (which is at 90' to my fence) flooding the lane at the end of my garden. I picked up about 30 dead or dying worms because a hedgehog has been using the lane at night and if he ate them he could be poisoned. I told her about it and asked her to use her drains instead but all the stupid women kept saying was that it was dog friendly cleaner so wouldn't hurt, she couldn't seem to grasp that if she put it in the dog's food he would probably be ill or die too, and it certainly wasn't worm friendly. She still carried on though.
It would be a happier Earth if they weren't on it.
