I kept watching the birds in the garden and thinking what I could do about the food I put out.
As quick as I put it out the rain was washing it away, then I thought about how we put a brolly out when it snowed to keep the dishes under cover. So I decided to try it, I put the big sun brolly over the seed table, I had to move the suet ball feeder as it didn't hang properly so I fastened it to one of the wooden arms inside the brolly. I then hung one of the coconut shell halves under there as well. I filled the coconut shell with peanut butter, filled the table with seed, then waited inside the shed to make sure that it would work that the seed would keep dry.
I kept shuffling across the garden to check the seed, after twenty minutes I decided it was going to work so I went back upstairs to the flat. At least the birds would get something now the rain would not wash it all away. While I had been down in the garden I had filled the two nut boxes so the squirrels had plenty of nuts, at the last count we have five squirrels visiting at once it's like the "keystone cops" when they are all there together.
Tony shouted me into the kitchen I looked out of the window and this is what I saw...
I guess the squirrels wanted to keep dry too!
Lynsey phoned me the other day, (she makes me laugh at times,) for those of you who don't know Lynsey has epilepsy.
She said to me "I must have thrown myself on the floor" (that means she has had a seizure,) "I have broken my front tooth, but I can't find the bit thats broken off", My guess is she must of swallowed it!
Later I received an email containing this...
Lynsey is not happy the dentist say's it is not an emergency so she cannot be seen until November.
I think I would be finding a new dentist!
Christopher called as well I think it might have been the same day, he called to tell me he was at A&E,
he works in a kitchen, Chris had managed to cut his finger, apparently the tip of his left index finger was hanging off. He had been cutting some spit roast the knife had slipped , it had sliced through his nail and carried on through his finger. He called me to let me know he had been seen they had cleaned his finger up it was wrapped up tightly in a dressing he is on antibiotics and has to return to the hospital on friday.
I am now just waiting for the third thing to happen everything comes in three's.
