Hi Nic
Hope you’re staying well too, didn’t realise how long it was since I was on here last.
Cats have such guilty consciences it makes them run even faster when caught out, they know perfectly well where they shouldn’t go. A hog rolling up a cat would be a sight.
If Froggy is walking on water it does sound as if you may have a job to do, unless he’s a very special frog. An extra pond is a great idea instead of some of your plants if they’re not up to much but it’s hard work making one I know. Easiest ever was when we took the bath out in our first ever house & buried it in the garden, partly filled with earth & it very soon had newts, frogs etc. A bridge, now that’s beginning to sound complicated. When they build ponds on tv garden programmes they tend to put them up against fences so you can’t get round them to work in the pond or maintain the fence.
The eye has settled a bit thanks, yes, it’s floaters that increased after having the hole in my retina in November. Sometimes they’re more intrusive, bad enough without them!
I had a close encounter of the rather cute kind recently. I went out as the light was fading to put the cameras out & sat to wait for visitors. In through the hedgehog hole trotted a fair size hog, approached my bare toes, sniffed a few tickling the hell out of me then disappeared into the feeder. I waited a while listening to the crunching, he came out for a drink then back in again.
If I go out once it’s dark there’s a fair bit of hog activity, the motion sensor lights come on & there they are. I’ve bought a few different LED lights over time from Mr Beams, they’re battery operate with sensors, some are path lights in the border & 2 are remote control/motion sensor, whichever you want, fixed to the shed & fence. Very useful for me to safely go down the path at night & know when someone is out there. They help with the cameras too as they light up a larger area than the infra red. They’re a family firm & I like supporting them particularly now with the world upside down.
Have a sensor light of theirs over my front door too so I can see to come up the front path & get the key in the door.
Birds know when you’re out there because they have a lookout bird who lets everyone else know!!
Black cat is still lurking every night, I’ve seen it many times through the window as well as on camera. beautiful creature, matt black & almost unreal.
Hope you’re continuing to keep safe & away from the selfish people who couldn’t care less & even don’t believe there’s a virus. Ordering online still, local shops for fresh stuff that I can carry home & making sure my cupboards are as they always used to be & well stocked with basics. I was badly caught out in March with lockdown due to being rather depressed & not keeping up with things like I usually do so my cupboards were at an all time low.
