It’s possible Ravens have an underserved reputation. The family of 5 birds which own our garden have definitely got some sort of relationship with our elderly Golden Retriever. The dogs lack of mobility makes it safe to throw bread for the birds, knowing despite her frenzied barks she is incapable of launching herself after them. Instead, we had the peculiar event of one of the birds throwing some bread to the dog (she doesn’t eat bread – for dog reasons) and the animal stopping her barks. And then, today there was the Robin incident, a tiny little bird trying to make a getaway with a 1/4 of a slice of bread, utterly overloaded. One of the Ravens landed in front of the Robin and just looked at it. The Robin flew into the hedge, the Raven tore the 1/4 slice into smaller bits, then flew off. Shortly afterward, a couple of Robins appeared and stuffed themselves.
And then, there’s Sheryl Crow and her habit of hiding bread. This Raven is notorious, piling dead leaves on top of bread, once she’s eaten her share. Today, we noticed a couple of Wood Pigeons throwing leafs around, searching for bread Sheryl had left for them. There’s an entire society becoming evident among our garden wildlife, the day we noticed the Pigeons feeding the Ravens was simply the start of a realisation “dog eat dog” may not entirely be the rules in our garden. Except for the 7 Red Squirrel who everyone hates. They hate each other and possibly even hate themselves.
And then there are the two seagulls, aviations permanent targets of practical jokes. The Ravens regularly tease the birds with Bread and Mussels, letting the scavengers think they’re about to get a free meal before another swoops in below them. Some days, the paving slabs at the front of the house look like an apocalypse has struck the local Mussel population.
This has quite a lot to do with Saga and jokes. Standby pensioner humour always relates to Zimmer Frames but with my brother needing to use one, if has been difficult to identify a funny side. Though he has refused my heavy duty padlock and chain, used to secure a motorcycle, as he claims his Zimmer frame will never be stolen. It was quite cruel, he received a dreadful medical diagnosis literally on the same day Saga started bombarding him with spam mail. At present, the entire family is trying to work out how to discard around the Zimmer frame, perhaps with an electric scooter, perhaps a hoverboard, perhaps with a clever pogo stick… None of us want to face the reality of him spending time in a wheelchair, doing Steven Hawking impersonations, and an electric pogo stick has some attractions, though perhaps also capable of generating a criminal record. It would essentially be a military rail gun without ammunition, though one which directs recoil at a counterweight, the human passenger.
His wife hissed “you are not considering this?” in a tone which dripped of acid burns.
As can be assumed, our parents banned my brother and I from joint idea development when we were kids, and we were never allowed to work together in the massive garage / workshop! I still remember when we dropped the engine from my trashed (but really cheap) Porsche 911, cross examination starting to find out our intentions. (trying to get the clapped out thing running. We cracked a cylinder block, a bad thing but we had a complex fix involving a chum in the aerospace industry.) Oddly, checking the DVLA website, that car is STILL on the go, taxed and MoT’d 30 years later.
Regarding Saga, their share price is a bit interesting. And perhaps not funny as there are arguments worth paying some attention to.
Our hope is to witness Saga tripping their Zimmer Frame upward, effectively kicking off a cycle which could undo the damage (circled) enacted back in 2019 and instead, promoting share price recovery toward an initial 1,293p with our longer term secondary, if exceeded, working out at 1,706 and perhaps some hesitation.
To be fair, it’s allegedly the case where share price movement exceeding 916p should trigger the foregoing ambitions but visually, we’d be an awful lot happier if the market discovers an excuse to “gap” SAGA upward anytime soon. It would be a brilliant confirmation of our “GaGa” logic but, to be real, such a movement would tick a massive visual box.
Should Sage intend something as dire as their visit to Argyll last year (we question any logic which told the cruise line a visit to a big garden centre was a good idea), their share price needs below 680p to trigger reversal to an initial 525 with our secondary, if broken, a less likely bottom down at 289p.
However, we suspect the organisation learned from their previous attempts, parking a cruise liner outside our house and loading passengers onto lifeboats, shipped ashore to visit a tourist destination which even the plants find boring, most dying off before the end of the season. Oddly, the place can be really spectacular at this time of year, floodlights illuminating massive tree lined alleys and placid ponds.
We’re taking a couple of days off (family stuff) and shall return on Thursday.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading.

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
