Grey and overcast here in the valleys.

We'll now read some of our favourite passages from Dylan Thomas and then we'll get on.

There's lovely.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch is the only Welsh word I can still remember from my school lessons.

I have concluded that Welsh is comprised simply of place names and ways to ridicule the English for being unable to speak Welsh.

I have moles - the only way to stop the fkers is to shoot them with a shot gun. I'm not joking.

If you haven't got a license, then get one (a .410 shotgun will do).

Early morning or around 6/7pm seems to be the best time. Always keep the mole hills levelled off, that way you can see when they're active.

Creep out (super quiet - they hear you coming!) and then just shoot the mole hill when you see the little bd pushing the soil up!

Far and away THE most effective and humane way of dealing with the problem.

Put something down the tunnel that smells bad and is biodegradable, eg very old cheese and wisps of dried grass soaked in over-fermented yoghurt or sour milk.

They dislike noise, so you could try putting a loud radio in the run.

scratchchin I'm tempted by this approach, is there not a small risk of blowing ones foot off though?

Hmmmm this may be safer than the shotgun approach. Is there any particular radio station that don't like?

In terms of something smelly how about petrol? Most thing don't seem to like have petrol poured on/in them.

My tally is up to 7 for the last 12 months, I still have all of my toes!

I literally put the barrel of the shotgun about 4" from the mole hill, and my feet must be 3' away. Completely safe!

OK. Will give it a go. I've got a whole load of those metal traps you put in the tunnel, just not sure yet how to use them, did you ever try those?

Yes, your garden will look like this in the time you manage to catch one using those traps:

OK, shotgun it is then. I'm not sure the wife is going be too happy about me shooting the lawn at 6am, but at least we don't have any neighbours!

Managed to avoid driving to McDonald's for one of their horrible breakfasts, that for some reason, always tempt me but once consumed I immediately regret. So I had two slices of toast, grilled tomatoes on the vine, two scrambled Chestnut Maran eggs and two Tesco Finest apple sausages.

Now watching some TV, then going to sort the kitchen, clothes, do the bins, then play some Fifa 15. Try and get my 6th division promotion.

Then into town before lunch, to buy some expensive toothpaste, then some Tupperware, then back home and if it's still dry I'll mow the lawn. Then Chili and salad for lunch. Then more Fifa, perhaps with a beer (King Goblin), then pay my car insurance.

Then go and pick up my daughter from nursery and my wife from school. Maybe apply for a job or two and perhaps do some maths/science questions. Might make a cake too, or brownies, with Marvellous Creation bits in.

It won't help. In an effort to divert their attention last night I posted a Trophy with the plate T77PHY and was mercilessly slain.
