Missing all the wildlife while I am in hospital. But Stephen has reported to me the first hedgehog in our garden for years, spotted as he put the car away after visiting me in hospital. Also two birds at our woodland widlife site spotted in one of our ponds. From the description it sounds like our Jack Snipe are back after three years of absence.

We've also had a great year for dragonflies at the woods, with 17 different species, and the first ever sighting of a silver washed fritillary butterfly, a target species for us. As well as breeding spotted flycatchers and a bumper year for grass snakes.

Then last week some very nerdy wildflower folk came and got excited about a rare bladderwort in one of our ponds. So it has been a good year. Sorry for rambling. I will try and be more coherent in future :)

The Mollycat is sulking.  She was outside when I got her dinner ready, so she didn't see/hear/smell me doing it.  So it wasn't done at all.  So as far as she's concerned the stuff in her bowl has been the since yesterday.  So poo ur gosh im not eating that.

I hope there won't be any maths questions in this assessment, I'm crap at those.

I was trying to sleep at the time. ;) Woolly cracked up when I involuntarily started singing it as I was about to drop off...

Did you sing Woolly instead of Kitty at the pertinent point, then?

Just heard that one of my Team Leaders is having to have a pet caused operation next week...... the cat was hungry and did the normal "wrapping myself around your feet until you feed me" routine, causing my Team Leader to trip and break her wrist.

Just off to make sure my six are happy and fully fed!

Lt. Col. Larrington (retd.) narrowly avoided a similar fate a few years back.  His eyesight is such that he was unable to see a Golden Retriever a-kip in the hall.  That was the last time he volunteered to look after Dr Larrington's dog.

When I inspected the litter tray yesterday, there was a large hole dug in the litter in the front-left corner and a large poo on top of the litter in the rear-right corner  :facepalm:

Yesterday I saw a Jay. Haven't seen one of them around town before. Indeed, there was a lot of singing and birds about.
