One of the blackbirds in the garden has taken a liking to the bristle mat we keep outside the backdoor, good nesting material and he spends ages pulling out the bristles, getting a beakful and flying off and then coming back for another lot, it will be bald before he has finished

They are very clean birds, they are putting a bristle mat outside of the nest to keep their feet clean before going in.:D
hello again:D
'tis daylight between 6:30 and 7am and dark between 6:30 and 7pm...all year round.....very, very boring:rolleyes:
Having said that, it's gone very dark outside and the thunder is rumbling ominously..I suspect we're about to get a bit wet:D
OH has arrived in Turkey and kids are at school, Thai lesson done so time for a wee kip no tennis this evening, I am being a vaguely sensible hector for now..at least until I get bored anyway:D
EDIT ..I'm aware I may not have phrased the daylight/dark bit terribly well for the more pedantically or literally minded amongst us but I can't be bothered changing it:p:D

Think it was the same in Singapore, always seemed to go dark early.
Morning everyone.:)
I was just about to watch a film about WW2 and there was a labradoodle in the first minute. :rolleyes: I am sure this cross cant have been common then?

I can see why he is annoyed but there are unscrupulous breeders with every type. According to Wikipedia, Sir Donald Cambell used the name in 1955 in his book.
I am not sure i see the point of them because a "pet" labrador has a very different temperament to a poodle, but the character cant be guaranteed so if you don't mind a poodle nature, just get a poodle so you have no doubt about the fur.
Or maybe the multi generational crosses are more stable in nature?
They are beautiful dogs though, that's for sure.
Morning all:D
Ugh, knackered, lousy sleep last night, weird dreams involving sawing off my own toes:eek: and sitting exams....anxiety dreams much:rolleyes::D - when alarm went off I was so sure it was the middle of the night i checked the time on three different things.....not the best start to the week:rolleyes:
On my second coffee, still feeling steam-rollered:(
Hi halla - sorry about the bad night and horrible dreams, it'll take a while for you to get your head around it. Once you've come to a conclusion or made a decision, you'll start to feel better. Exams is always my severe anxiety dream - when I turn over the paper it's a subject I've never studied:rolleyes:
Very interesting - I had no idea that's why they were originally bred. I actually don't find them attractive dogs, they're too much like the standard poodle which I've never found pleasing to look at. We know 2 families who have labradoodles and I must say they have lovely natures and are good family pets, but they don't appeal to me at all.

Awwwww so cute.
Well it says 17 this afternoon Min & Max & Windchill.:D
Of course, that's only in the shade.
Was wondering what you needed the light for in the mornings?
Morning Arte.:)
For me it means no turning lights on in the morning, strolling round the garden, its altogether a lot more pleasant than dark mornings.

Well as I am quite often up by 4.30 any time after that really
Same here, though I'm a lazy beggar and often stay in bed until 5 - 5.30.......:p:p
Disgraceful :eek::D
Is it?:D
I get away with very little sleep and once I am awake i want to get up, simple as that really

Heres an interesting article about the labradoodle http://www.globalanimal.org/2010/12/02/man-who-created-labradoodles-regrets-the-cross-breed/25768/

Anyone have special hopes and plans for the week?
