Naughty Squirrel!
Have I told you about my squirrels? Well last year there was a squirrel in our garden. As I have no children or pets in this country I insisted on it being my pet, even though I can't give it cuddles I can still be entertained by its antics. I named him Bob (I name most things Bob) even though in all likelihood he is a she. I love Bob, and Perfect Husband keeps our feeder topped up with sunflower seeds so we can watch Bob and his bird friends enjoy our garden. Now this year there are three Bobs; Bobs 2 and 3 are smaller, and could be Bob's offspring, although if they are there doesn't appear to be much maternal love from Original Bob; she/he chases them off if they get so much as within a yard of the food! The two junior ones tolerate each other although we now put food in more than one place to stop them squabbling.....
We have various flowers, ornaments etc in the garden, which none of the visiting animals have ever shown any interest in, until the arrival of a large bamboo wind chime which was a birthday gift for Perfect Husband from his daughter. I have seen one of the Junior Bobs venturing onto the wind chime but then hopping off as it moved under its weight....but yesterday I came home from work to find this......

Take a close look, this is Junior Bob attacking the wind chime- he chewed through the string and was "tasting" the bamboo! I rescued and repaired the wind chime from this young upstart and replaced it with a wind chime Perfect Husband had bought me last year- a metal skeleton fish-let's see how he likes the taste of metal!! I can't be angry though-  they're too cute!
Here is a pic of Original Bob enjoying breakfast.....

Aaaah, much love.
