& G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!

So in the dead of night dis Squirrel upped sticks & relocated to a new more spacious home.

With 11001 characters to play with I can write till my fingers drop off & bore the pants out of you all ! 😆

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
I guess I’ll actually have to start coming up with something worth writing about 🫣🤣

Have a cracking Thursday & remember : Don’t let ‘em Cash-ew ! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

    I'm still in shock after finding one of those huge ones on the bedroom wall 2 nights ago! I evicted it with my little box 'contraption', but it's the wrong time of year for them & I wasn't mentally prepared for it.

    @NormanDunbar @skyfire747 @MaJ1 @weirdfolks
    In my previous house, if they fell off the ceiling I could hear them hit the (carpeted) floor. A jar with cardboard involved getting too close for comfort (also, the very big ones had to bed their knees to get the jar over them).
    My box contraption keeps them at a bit of distance (not far enough, but it helps) & is big enough to put over them without worrying about hurting them.
    By the time I've put 2-3 out I'm shaking!
    They can live in the shed, or go next door (lots of outbuildings).

    1.When I was very little, my big brothers used to chase me with huge spiders (we had them back then, too) & threaten to put them down the back of my dress. I was terrified. Childhood terrors stay with us.

    1. The 8 legs and 8 eyes thing gets to me. I can't cope with something that has 8 eyes!

    2. I'm squeamish, & a previous cat used to make a point of sitting in front of me & eating them. I could see the legs going up & down as he chomped. (My dog brought them in for him). I invariably threw up. As I would if I saw someone step on one.

    I wouldn't harm them, & I know they have their uses. But I can't knowingly share my house with them.

    Trump is upset he may miss his son's graduation because he's on trial.

    Yeah, we do treat people in the criminal justice system harshly. People you have never thought about, people who have kids, and graduations, and moments missed forever.

    But it's different now. He cries. It's happening to ME. To Me!

    I had a scam phone call. A very polite man (I didn't catch where he said he was from) telling me about something on the Beeb and how I could avoid having to sell my home to pay expensive care-home fees by 'entrusting' the house to a relative. He said he wanted to send me 'free' literature, but I'm not about to give any personal details to a random phone caller.
    Hubby says it's a scam & those schemes don't work! (He was a solicitor before retiring, so he knows more than I do about it).
    After I asked the man 3 times what he was selling, & not getting an answer, I told him to phone back & talk to hubby. He hasn't....
    He could have sounded very convincing if I didn't have such a suspicious nature. Be careful everyone.
