Did someone wearing a Celtic/Rangers top just walk past the window he was looking out or something?

I'm coming round to this way of thinking since recycling has turned out to be a sham, as it was mostly shipped to Chinese landfill sites because it was too contaminated to be recycled, and China have refused to take any more. That and the oceans becoming a big plastic dustbin. Not sure how all the plastic gets into the sea, most of it must get deliberately dumped rather than blown in the air from rubbish dumps.
I'm looking for different ways of reducing my personal plastic use, I even bought some wee reusable bags for buying loose fruit and veg.
It makes me really sad when the latest whale, dolphin or turtle washes up on a beach and is found to have a stomach full of plastic bags.

I keep bars of soap by the sink and by the shower mainly because I'm a bit of a hippie and don't like using plastic bottles unnecessarily.

I might need to invest in one of those feeders with the guards, our feeding station has been absolutely mobbed by jackdaws, magpies and feral pigeons recently.
There also seems to be a scabby little moggy that is using one of my raised beds as a litter tray. My dog has chased it from the garden a few times but it keeps coming back. Without resorting to land mines, gin traps etc is there anything that actually keeps cats away effectively? The garden is quite open so there's no way of fencing it off. We've made a makeshift fence around the particular bed the little git was using but now it sits under the bird feeders.

Falkirk fans have been talking down his ability since he was 16. For all the shouts of "one of our own" there have been just as many people looking to run him down for no apparent reason. He broke his leg at 17, came back in and was too soft. Then he got shunted out to the left wing and he was too slow. Then he was in the middle and he was too inconsistent or too lightweight.
The guy has answered every criticism of him, got on with his football and been a great player for us over a number of years. He is now a more complete player than at any point in his Falkirk career - he has bulked up, still has the passing and vision, and covers the park for 90 minutes.
This will have been a tough decision for him, he is a Falkirk supporter and all his mates are Falkirk supporters. I find it difficult to get my head round as well cause it's Livingston, but objectively he's leaving the team who finished 8th in the second tier for the team who got promoted to the top flight. If he has a good season there, where there is a decent chance he'll be the main man in the team, then he can move down South or to a bigger club in the top flight.
I wouldn't have him in an all time Falkirk XI or anything like that but he should go with our best wishes. I am disappointed he's leaving but can understand why. The club are to blame for making such a c**t of getting out this league for the entirety of his career.
I was wondering if anyone would look at this from a sane perspective.
It's probably not a bad move for him, if he'd wound up at a bigger club he might well find himself on the bench. At least this way he'll have a decent chance at proving his ability and he won't be lining up against us next season.
For what it's worth I hope he does well, unless we wind up facing Livingston in the cup that is.

Skye has an infected cut on her back foot. She's not a happy dug.

Well done on your promotion Livvi, no one can deny it was well deserved.

Picked up a big box of McCoy's crisps at the cash n' carry for £3.50. On sampling have found them to be one of those batches with a ton of flavouring on them.
30 x 47.5g bags as well. If that's not a reason to be cheerful then I don't want to live any more.

GP prescribed me some solpadol. The pain is very much still there but now I'm strangely happy about it.

Sunflower hearts seem to keep our goldfinches and siskins happy, they'll go to the nijer seed feeder if there are no sunflower hearts left. Been seeing quite a few green finches in our garden the past few weeks as well which is nice as I seem to remember them being far more common. There's a definite pair but I'm not sure how many pairs there are or if it's the same ones I'm seeing every time.
Might take a wee trip to Vane farm tomorrow if the weather is nice.

Got a family of bullfinches nesting in the garden this spring. The other night two chicks made their first appearances...the mother was running about like crazy feeding them in bushes further down the garden, while the father did the bullfinch equivalent of sitting back and cracking a beer.
Rotten photo I know, but all I had immediately to hand was a wee camera with a crappy zoom facility....
They are lovely things, we have a few that visit our garden but they only eat the buds off of our willow tree and haven't actually nested here. You're a lucky sod!

I had a chest infection over the winter and got sent for an x-ray which revealed I have quite pronounced scoliosis. That'll be why I've had so much pain in my hips, shoulder and back I suppose.
Hoping that treatment involves some kind of medieval rack. I could be doing with being a few inches taller.

They'll insist that as you as you used that energy it will have to be paid for. You could do worse than contact Ofgem or Citizen's Advice :
Aye I did assume that they'd want it paid. Will get all the details off them tonight and see what the CAB have to say before I shell out £800.

Energy companies.
Switched energy supplier recently and my old supplier stuck me with a bill for £1200 yesterday after I'd put in our last set of meter readings in Feb. Phoned them up last night to complain and according to them we put an incorrect meter reading in over a year and a half ago (lower than the previous one). They never picked up the mistake so now claim I owe them £850 due to my account being £400 in credit and us underpaying from near on 2 years.
Tonight's phonecall will be interesting.

Very clever! Is that on the canal? On my phone so can’t see your location etc.
Yeah, our usual walk involves a loop around part of the Union canal. We struggle to keep her out of it but the old boy hates water.

Hopefully this works, we've been having a play with the slo-mo on my partners camera.

In Tesco and in front of me is a woman with maybe 10-15 items. When her debit card was declined decided to keep trying it after asking the cashier to remove one item from her total.
She eventually left with a bottle of soda water.

Sent on to do a job on him? What the actual...
MVoto got booked earlier in the season, I think it was St Mirren at home, because guys were bouncing off him. Two guys took a run at him with elbows and still he won the ball every time. If anything he gets punished for being so big, he stands his ground and when people try to challenge him they get knocked over. He was on the ground injured also, pretty risky to try and injure someone with your own head don't you think?
The only guy fouling was your forward who threw his toys out the pram when he found out he couldn't con the ref when he tried to bully Morris and got his totties.
'kin hell.

Aye it's a grim place. We sometimes drop in food, treats and toys and stuff but the dogs are always so confused and distressed (which will no doubt put folk off). We nearly re-homed a dog from there once but she didn't like Jake much.

I found with our rescue mutt that the big problem was her not being properly socialised with other dogs. She got very defensive very quickly and would snap but she has gradually got much better. It's taken a few years but she is now just a bit aloof and completely focused on a tennis ball.
I had a friend that had the same issue with a dog he got from the SSPCA, rescue can be a bit of a lottery but we've definitely been lucky with the 4 we've had.

I'm very close to investing in some guarded feeders, now we have a massive fat b*****d wood pigeon that scoffs everything on offer whether it be nijer seed, sunflower hearts, peanuts or fat balls. I think I'm going to set up another feeding station purely for the wee finches and things that aren't getting a look in.
