It's quite something to return a rental car after unfortunately hitting a deer in the middle of the night.
As I drove it in to return it, because of how it looked, I couldn't help but start laughing about how it must have looked to them.

Rental is an anagram of antler.

I've never seen as many as I have this summer. It rained here the other night and they were literally everywhere. I couldn't see them at first then once my eyes adjusted I must have seen at least fifty, sixty, of them. Every black shape on the floor was another one. A slug minefield.

The Slugpocalypse.

Burroughs was way out with his centipede phobia. It's obviously the slugs we've got to watch out for.

Which is weird, since snails are just cute (although equally deleterious to horticulture).

The other day we saw an otter. I've never properly seen one in the wild before. Maybe just a brief splash and someone says "that was an otter" and I kinda took their word for it so I could say I'd seen one.

But we took a moonlight walk by the river and I think it was maybe a full moon. Anyway it was really bright and from 50m we could see one perfectly. It swam around a bit, climbed out, chilled on the bank for a few min then went back in and we could see it perfectly for ages. Truly something beautiful.

Also the owl from a couple of years ago is back. Or perhaps it's it's offspring given the break between sightings. Anyway, two or three nights in a row at about 3am we heard an unearthly screech and then saw this fellow flying between the buildings, ruling the skies. Not a barn owls, something far more ungainly when it flies, but an owl for sure.

A suspiciously out-of-season beech nut just bounced off my hat as I walked under a beech tree and I'm 100% certain it was thrown at me by an overly territorial squirrel.

Copper hues are coming through, chill in the air last night

Heard a ribbon of honking geese lying low, in a huge staggered flying-V formation west like a vociferous luftwaffe squadron taking their seasonal cue, so seasonal change aggregates must be genetic at some level

The ‘any old iron’ bloke is on his rounds busy on his loudspeaker disturbing my coffee’s calm - they have such a singsong auctioneer esque live show hybrid thing going on but I digress, we’re about 2 weeks ahead of the southern counties for tree foliage changing. Make the journey enough and you notice, same in spring where blossom explosion is still up weeks after departing the south
