| Thieves One of the things that scares me the most about Climate change is the movement of people, if things happen as predicted people are going to move from one continent to the next population will be squeezed in certain areas. One of the pleasures of being a farmer is that you are away from everyone else; you should be able to leave keys in your car and shed doors open.
Someone or people took the time to drive up here and steal from us, which is annoying enough but the most annoying part of the process is that we now have to lock up everything, we have put two new gates up with large padlocks on and a small camera. So far all I seem to be able to do is record myself and lose the keys.
On reporting the incident to the local PC, he asked if I blamed anyone, naturally I told him about the exhibition canary, he looked at me in a knowing way and changed the subject fast, before I got the high horse out. The Policeman was efficient; he explained there is a lot of it going on, he also explained that, should you meet an intruder you are now allowed to use equal force. I thought that Newton had already discovered this in the 17th Century. I will be guarding the Turkeys personally, fear not, they will be there on the 23rd All the best Rod and remember the future
belongs to the organized.

Unfortunatley
we appear to live to close to someone to be able to do this now.
First of all my chainsaw went missing, but I thought I must of
just put it in the wrong place, I hunted the farm for ages, nothing
worse than when you can not find something. You have to be very
careful on a farm, and make sure you take things back and put them
where they belong, otherwise before long you do not know where
anything is. Latter that same day, Neil announced that we had to
re order the Godminster cheese. I looked through the records and
realised that this was ridiculous, we had only just ordered the
cheese, on further inspection I realised that the delicious Christmas
puddings had gone missing as well. So at this point I realised
that we were looking for a mouse with a chainsaw who likes Christmas
puddings. On closer inspection this mouse must also drive a car
for he or she drained our diesel tank, and stole all my engineering
tools. The inevitable started to sink in, we have been robbed. 
Who
do I blame, the exhibition canary, if you remember the man who
fed his canaries with chickweed came here earlier in the year,
working for Google, street mapping our road. You can now go anywhere
and see anything, anywhere in the world, from a screen in your
room. Like so many things in nature one thing feeds on another,
the cabbage white caterpillar eats the cabbages the crows eat the
caterpillars, people shoot the crows. What’s good for Bens
Geese is not necessarily good for the Gander. I believe this technology
is quietly feeding the thieves, its amazing and all that, but is
it necessary?
