Eeeek!

A spider creeping out of the darkness...


Not really, it's just a cat toy.

Poor cats have had a trying time in the garden. A Herring Gull dive-bombing them caused them to shoot back in through the window & hide under the table.

Queue me, with 6ft bamboo pole, standing on the patio waving the pole vigorously at the bird as it swooped. Eventually it gave up & left - hopefully it will not come back. I really don't want a summer of this sort of thing if it decides to nest here.
