What's made you grumpy today?

That's annoying!

Made the decision to sell my lovely wee car. Not much point in a two seater convertible when photophobia is my main eye problem now. Such a shame as it was difficult to find such a good example. The right colour, stupidly low mileage and showroom condition. Still I suppose it's the right time of year to advertise it. I've never sold privately before. I suppose all the neds and tyrekickers will make an appearance. Or hairdressers if I'm lucky.

My wife and I took the dogs for a walk earlier. Going around a field we wandered over to an adjacent one and spotted it full of cows and bulls chomping the grass. Suddenly these two teenage girls appeared from nowhere and made to climb over a style to get in with the cows. We gave them a stern warning about the danger of cows, to be answered with "we want to make a tik-tok so we can go viral". Seriously is this all the youth of today are bothered about? Thankfully they heeded our advice after pointing out there were bulls in there as well a cows and calves. Maybe we saved a life today

Interesting one. Sue and I sometimes go walking on public footpaths through fields with cows in them and we've seen bulls once or twice as well, but - I think the ones kept in fields without a public right of way through them are liable to be dangerous as you say.

Ive only been scared by cattle once. There used to be a dairy farm close to my home before all the house building happened in the 70s. Cows used to occasionally knock down our fence and enter the garden so I was used to them as a child. However, on one visit to my girlfriend's hometown we decided to take a walk in Constable country.

We hired a boat and rowed along the River Stour. There was a muddy bank at one point with a couple of cattle having a drink. As we slowly approached them, a couple of dozen more appeared, mostly young bulls I think.

They started bellowing and snorting, running up and down the bank and two or three came into the river which was quite shallow at this point. They were obviously really peeved by our presence so I about turned and rowed like it was the Boat Race back to where we hired the boat. A genuinely frightening experience. Cattle aren't to be messed with, especially if there are calves in the field.

I caught a cold 7 days ago. It's weird as every day is the same - I wake up shaking and hot/cold, like the feeling at the start of a cold. But I'm not moving to the sniffles/sore throat/sneezing phase. I got up a few days ago and bed was drenched in sweat. But I feel the same every day.

You need sunshine. This terrible weather has us all down.
Feel better soon!

I witnessed what must be the most dangerous driving I've ever seen this evening. I was driving 'er indoors and one of her friends to a social event in Derbyshire when an oncoming grey Range Rover came past us at about 100mph, if not more. This was a not particularly wide B road. The shock wave as he passed actually buffeted the car slightly.

Five minutes later we're queueing at a red light for Cavendish Bridge, a narrow crossing over the River Trent that only allows traffic in one direction at a time. The same vehicle flashed past us at the same speed, past the three stationary cars in front of us, straight through the red light.

Can't imagine what that was about.

Noticed this going on outside an hour ago. In broad daylight. Absolutely disgusting.

Somehow somewhere on this planet it is a fetish to someone no doubt.
