Finally managed to get a picture (though it's not very sharp or near) of a Wren! Our neighbour has a bird box and this little fella is in the process of filling it with moss.  Other visitors this morning were a Robin:  and a Great Tit:

The aldi near me has been out of sunflower seeds so I changed to a mix and I was worried the birds weren't as keen on it. I swapped it out with black sunflowers and the bullfinches are back which is a relief:  CHOMP:

justcola posted:What lens/set-up do you use? I keep thinking I need a tripod and a lens that didn't come with the camera as half my outdoor photos are a bit off. I'm using a nikon D5100 and a broken Tamron 150mm-600mm. This setup works well because the tamron is full-frame, so the effective focal length is more like 300mm-1200mm. The AF on it is knackered though so I'm having to shoot manual focus which is a nightmare especially for birds that won't sit still like the wren. I've also got a crappy rokinon 500mm mirror lens which is manual focus but more portable. A few of the photos I've posted here are taken with that. E: I use a tripod for the tamron because it's too unwieldy otherwise. The rokinon you can handhold but at these focal lengths it's very unsteady so you need good light and short shutter speeds

hemale in pain posted:i feel like it should be a rule that if you say you've cut your own hair and it looks realy good you have to post a pic Save for one or two 'job interview tomorrow and don't want to gently caress it up completely' moments I've been cutting my own hair for about 15yrs now. Same set of clippers that I got for 40 quid so they've paid for themselves about 30-60 times over already. I'm not posting a pic tho because my default haircut looks like poo poo. Number 4 on top, 3 on the sides and 2 near the sideburns. The back is always a hassle so I occasionally get Mrs. Barfish to clean it up.

In a mild attempt at relieving the stress of that loving report, I present some birds that dropped in while I was having lunch. First up is a Robin:  Second is what I reckon must be the goon-approved official bird of E/N, the dunnock:  Dunnocks are goony because: - They are poly - They eat rear end https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnock#Mating_systems

I hit both extremes: I like cooking that involves a long process, like making pasta or baking bread. It's very cathartic to spend an afternoon kneading by hand. I also like quick stuff like vietnamese salads or a good stir fry with a ripping hot wok but I hate fancy stuff for fanciness' sake. gently caress souffles or pastry/cakes imo.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with grabbing a takeout or a ready-made meal. The folks who write assuming everyone has spatchcocked a grouse or owns more than 3 pans are tedious. It's fun to experiment though, so I do get enjoyment from cooking with what I have to hand.

Mebh that's a very similar setup to mine. You can get surface protecting lubricants that leave a waxy residue and are good for several months as an aerosol. I'd put that on the box section and any exposed metal you aren't touching like the outer sleeves of the Olympic bar. Proper bars have roller bearings in the sleeves, I'd inject a good bit of grease in there if I was leaving them outside. You can get cheap tarps and bungees to cover stuff when not in use, but make sure they're well tensioned against the wind. The weights aren't going to be wrecked by a bit of surface rust but weights tend to keep resale value if they're in good nick and good quality so if you ever plan on selling them maybe store them indoors. E: also if you are doing weights where the neighbours can see you better be prison ripped

Mebh posted:Hm having trouble finding something like that for metal. Would this work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/JENOLITE-89005-Prevention-Motorcycle-Protection/dp/B07VNMN1YR Sorry for the late reply. I had this in mind, but that one might work too: https://www.amazon.co.uk/XCP-Rust-Blocker-Performance-Protection/dp/B00CU6QBN2 Problem with vaseline is that it's soft and melts in warm weather, and you def. don't want greasy weightlifting equipment. The waxy residue the rust inhibitors leave behind is less likely to run or be slippery.
