Distractions

This morning a grey squirrel has been charging around the garden, running along the fences and racing up and down the trees. It's also been playing chase with a magpie.

Sitting here at the table with my lap top and a cup of coffee I've also discovered what's been happening to our cat food.

For those of you that don't already know - we have four cats. If it isn't raining in the morning I often put their food bowls outside. They don't always eat their food straight away - but often have a little bit and then keep going back to take a nibble. Sometimes they miow for more food when they can't possibly have eaten everything in their bowls. And sometimes their food disappears very quickly. I always thought it was other cats that had been eating their food but now I know the truth... It's the magpie.

As you can see, I'm easily distracted this morning.

Ha ha! I love watching the squirrels too. They are so ingenious about stealing birdseed from our feeders. I put out bowls of peanuts for them, to stop them eating the birdsead, which also disappeared mysteriously quickly. Our thief turned out to be two very fat pigeons, who gobbled the lot in one sitting!
