    The crazier our world gets the more I appreciate these videos.

    You mentioned that the cats kill the birds . Well mice tend to be nocturnal. So Keep your cats indoors during the day and let them out at night to hunt. That way they will be less likely to kill birds ;-)

    What will happen when they come to vax you. Or maybe you never get to hear about the madness. Must be great. My mind is so filled with the evil ones that I can't sleep. I long for the olden days when I was learning herbalism. As a vegan I try to live in a peaceful kind way

    You should build a barn owl nest box either in one of your sheds or outside on a tree. They'd help keep mice numbers down and the only thing limiting their spread in ireland is a the lack of nesting sites

    You need a tree for birds to live in so you can start a bird community on the property instead of trying to get them to visit. Keep the cats indoors all day and let them out at night. Birds are sleeping and the mice are out,time to hunt.

    That spinach. Toss an egg and three cups of the spinach in the blender and then fry like a crepe. Oddly enough it ends up tasting more like fried mushrooms than spinach.

    There's something comforting about seeing a video with a half hour time stamp these days, provides a nice distraction/break! Well timed, thank you. Hope the ice this week hasn't been too bad at your end of the province

    Cats are nocturnal so you can encourage them to come inside and sleep for the day. Training them from kittenhood to come inside during the day would be best of course. But this would save your bird population.

    When you were biting and chewing on the crunchy raw brussels sprouts I could not help but thinking: „Oh dear, it seems that you spent too much time in the company of your rabbits.“ So lovely to see you early 2021! Greetings from Switzerland!

    One of my first lessons in gardening here in the Outer Hebrides is that if you want a decent crop of anything you'll need to grow roots - the weather doesn't allow for much else!
