The population of bank voles in our garden seems to have exploded. They’re getting fat on the seeds that birds drop from the feeder (I also suspect that they’re the reason the flowers have disappeared from some bulbs I’d planted). No doubt a sparrow hawk or the grass snake we’ve seen will disappear a few voles.

Train home massively delayed so it was a bit of a bun fight to get on when it did arrive. As people piled on, a bare-chested man charged down the aisle of the carriage, shoving people out of the way shouting ‘F*** I forgot me doughnuts, f***!’
While in Exeter I thought I’d walk up to the university for a nostalgia trip. I didn’t study here but I practically grew up here because my dad was a lecturer in the engineering department. I learnt to walk & run along the parquet floored corridors, to swim in the pool & even to drive in the carparks. Just snuck into his old building. Haven’t been here in years - it didn’t look the same, but it did smell the same & it really triggered a lot of emotions. Had a little cry.
