Yep, I'm pretty sure mine dont get the 'please ration your food, I cant top it up for a while' message either :-) (also known as putting out as much as I can!) :-)
This year I'd like to have a go at the Christmas bird feeder idea you do. Unfortunately world war 3 kicked off between my partner and my sister & her partner a few months ago so another blow to Christmas (Christmas used to be focused around dad and were the best ever, since then we've tried to keep it going at my sisters). Looks like we'll be having separate Christmases now, so am trying to think of new things to introduce so we can feel it is different to a normal day but not totally Christmassy. Have abandoned the present idea, and have jointly bought some board games for over that time instead. A friend and her mum are going to come over at some point to play a game too
Anyway - sorry for raising the C word :-o
It's chilly here but skies are quite clear and sun is out, so looks like it will be a nice crisp Autumn day. Need to plant the hedging roses I bought (they turned up yesterday) and replant my rose in my little dog memorial garden into a bigger pot. (Decorative section with pebbles, slate, gravel etc - which has all the bunnies, hamsters from over the years and my dogs)
hope everyone is doing ok? Xx
