One of them enjoyed a game of hide and seek with me when I was in the shed.
I looked out of the window and was not sure if I had seen one at all.
He peeped round the bush, from several sides.
Then he jumped to the peanuts, with a look of surprise.
Before tucking in to his lunchtime snack.
The Starlings are growing fast the youngsters are beginning to show off their waistcoats as the proper markings come out.
Bath time fun
The young ones make lots of splashes at bath time.
Then they fly over to the side to dry off. There is always a parent bird ready to shout at them if they get in the way.
The peanut butter is still the main reason for the Starlings to shout and bicker about.
There is always one standing guard to make sure that the others don't take more than their fair share!
one of the Squirrels is easy to recognise, he has a lump missing from his ear.
We think this has probably be done by a cat.
The youngest daughter has her legs in bandages at the moment, she came through to Wakefield last weekend for Clarance Festival. She managed to get her legs sunburned so badly that she ended up in A&E. She was told at Pinderfields in Wakefield there was nothing she could do apart from get in a cold bath for 20minutes every hour and keep her legs clean.
When she returned to Hull the next day she was in so much pain she went to A&E there where she was told that Pinderfields should have dressed her legs and that she should have been treated for second degree burns. It is now a week since she burnt her legs she has still got dressings on them which she has changed on a regular basis. She has had blisters the size of golf balls on one leg and a row of blisters round her ankle on the other. The doctor at Hull says he thinks this has happened because she used her friends sun cream which was out of date so it was just like putting water on her legs and then laying in the sun. So even when the blisters heal and the skin mends she still has to keep her legs covered up in the sun for at least 18 months - 2 years or she will just blister again. She says the pain is like nothing she has ever felt before. So the moral of the story is always make sure your suncream is in date and do not use other peoples.
I think she might have been in competition with my youngest Granddaughter, she had been up to A&E a few nights earlier as she had made herself a pot noodle and scalded herself with it. How did she do that ? I hear you ask! Instead of putting the pot on the table she put it on the sofa, then sat next to it! She is a teenager, enough said! she too had a dressing on her leg and "upper thigh".
Lets just hope that's the end of it, and that there isn't a third one on the way!
I will just leave you with one very clever thought from a minion...
Until the next time...
