Theft appears to be on the increase.
No connection to Rachel Thieves, I suppose?

I agree that facial recognition is likely to be advantageous in crime prevention, especially as I see so many people on the news who are wearing face masks to hide their identity.
Muslim women, of course, might be encouraged not to cover their faces.  That is an ancient religious requirement and I'm sure that many of them only do so following orders from their husband (or even father).

My mistake.  We were asked to phone them at 2pm, if they haven't already contacted us.
The worry is that she might be diabetic and would need daily injections.  In addition to potentially hurting the cat, the cost of the insulin can be very expensive.  One advantage is that I already inject insulin as I am diabetic, so at least I should be quite good at it!
Here's hoping.

Schoolboy humour makes us giggle
Talking about some slap and tickle
Making it rhyme is quite an art
Sometimes we strain and then take heart

It is sad but have you seen the price of trees? I walked past B&Q the other day and they had a small, almost certainly unrooted, tree outside £60. I often see a scruffy looking bugger along the river path with a trolley full of various plants. The river path runs very close to B&Q ....

There seems to be a lot of stealing of other peoples Christmas decorations this year..

 Thieves are boldly walking onto another's property and stealing fully decorated Christmas trees..
Lights... Inflated characters... Reindeers etc;
The popular this year for thieves is the Nutcracker (soldiers).. 
 These are sought after by those who will pay for anything .. Knowingly to  be stolen..

A bit like those wanting a certain breed of dog.... and will pay for them regardless of where they have come from and being someone's beloved pet..

I used to walk around this area with my grandchildren .. early evening .. to see all the decorations and bright lights at Christmastime .. They loved it and got very excited....
  I see very few these days... So , so sad..
Is this yet another tradition that is slowly being taken away from us.. ?

I do not decorate outside of my house..
