Millions of plastic nurdles washed up at Camber Sands. Volunteers are still required to help try to clear it all up before it kills wildlife.

They started at 10am this morning and I believe they're going to start again the same time tomorrow.

I popped down there this morning. Volunteers are working today and tomorrow, in case anybody wants to go and help.

I bought a second hedgehog house to accommodate the multiple hedgehogs. However hedgehog number one is stealing all the hay for its own house. 🤣

Just a small sample. The first thing the school did when presented with these was claim that they must be wrong, as their monitors don't make any fuss. My son said, "what monitors?"

A missive from my son's school along with my response.

For three years I've been trying to get them to do something about ventilation in his school... CO2 levels are as high as 7000! They reach close to 4,000 every single day. (Aranet 4)

I have been routinely ignored.

Hopefully he'll soon be swapping for this house...

It's time the Royal Family went. These people are useless.

Charles is a monumental bellend, a bully and a nasty piece of work. Everybody knows what Andrew is like.

They're just a bunch of petulant children leeching off the rest of us.

Infuriatingly condescending email from school today about my son's "attendance" - which was entirely due to the Covid that the school gave him!

My reply is probably not what they were expecting to get.

Hedgehog update: a second, larger male has appeared and is not welcome. 😄

The adult female returned last night, so we have the young male feeding in the background with her having a drink in the foreground.

Water clearly important as they both drink from it at every visit; am going to put out a larger container

Exciting stuff. A young male hedgehog now building a nest in the hedgehog house I put out. I've put a lot of hay in there and then put hay around and he's been dragging extra in.

Racist mobs or frail old ladies... Which are a bigger threat to public order?

This is what childhood looked like before vacccines - all died between 1771 and 1790 before the age of 17 months. These are referenced in Dickens "Great Expectations".

That's a well-known migration route... 😉

Joking aside, it was likely a giant house spider:

Unless you think it was something like the sort of thing I look after. (she's eight inches across)

So, once again my son has acquired Covid from school. Is it any wonder when the ventilation looks like this and they refuse to acknowledge it's a problem.

So much for "safeguarding".
September 29, 2025 at 9:14 AM
Not a word of this is true.

Every part of it is anti-vaxxer propaganda guaranteed to harm children.

As I have a couple of female hedgehogs visiting, I have purchased a hedgehog house. It's covered in twigs and leaves, as well as plastic to keep any moisture out and has hay inside and around it.

They're feeding and drinking each night. 🥰
