08/12: ALL'S FAIR ......

Shouldn't be doing this as we're leaving for the airport in about 8 hours and  need to deliver Xmas cards locally, take the recycle bins out, eat and get a couple of hours sleep before we leave home at 'silly hour' (2.30am departure for 6.10am flight).

Thanks for all the tips and advice etc re. pesky squirrels - I coated the peanut feeder in Cayenne pepper but despite squirrels supposedly not liking the taste (birds don't mind) they've carried on with their demolition work.

David's idea for a squirrel proof feeder:


I love the look of these 'Twirl a Squirrel' devices which are activated by the weight of the squirrel on the feeder  ... but they are expensive and the reviews are very mixed about their durability.   Good for a laugh though.  In most videos I've seen the squirrel falls off fairly quickly ... but this one is hanging on in there LOL



Right, that really is all from me
