To let the squirrel in to play the Xbox, and while I'm here - do cats understand lawnmowers?

[ThreeInEachLobe]

Yes I am sober.

We have a few regularly visiting squirrels, i feed 'em nuts as i quite like to see their happy little squirrely faces jumping around the garden. One squig though always seems to stay around when the xbox is on (you can see it from the patio doors). I've just turned it on to have a sneaky go at minecraft - squig is eyeballing me again. Tempted to pass him a controller and see what he can do. That's perfectly reasonable isn't it?

And on the cat thing. Last time I mowed my lawn, cat (not mine) just kept moving a little bit away rather than buggering off somewhere else. I swear it was tutting at me as well every time the mower got near him. Don't they understand I'll be mowing the whole lawn?? For notoriously lazy animals, he created quite a bit of work for himself there. Its been bothering me.

TIA for any sage advice in these pressing matters.

Magpies are weird. How do they know where stuff is?

Fat Baz is currently filling his prickly face......

Magpies are very "myffic" birds they know a lot more than they let on about. I still curtsey if I see one on its own although my best beloved has spent years trying to break me of the habit.

Any sign of Mrs Barry?

Yes I think Magpies are in on it all too. Pesky things.

No Mrs B yet........
