We've missed the worst of the weather sweeping across the country today, but it's still been raining for most of the day, and the Dulas Brook was red with mud when I passed by.
There have been several complaints about this - all of them blaming the pipeline. Athene English was on the front cover of the Brecon and Radnor the other week. Along with other residents of the Dingle, she was complaining about the run off from the pipeline building, and the mud from the wheels of the pipeline vehicles which is washing off the road straight into the stream. It's starting to have an effect on the Wye - and silty water affects the salmon, which is quite a serious thing.
Meanwhile, the dryers at the launderette now cost 50p for 10 minutes, rather than 20p for 5 minutes - which means I don't have to hoard my 20ps any more (it took about 4 of them to get the washing properly dry). Fortunately I had a couple of 50ps in my purse today when I did the washing.
The British Legion is cracking down on membership - membership cards have to be shown at the door in future.
Country Supplies have had problems with a homing pigeon. It hung around for three days, constantly trying to get in, and then getting trapped when it did. They think it was trying to get at the bird food they sell before it set off back to it's own loft, wherever that was.
