Double Skipping Rope

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow, 

As you know, blackbirds have been a huge problem for us. Don't get me wrong, I love the cheeky little things and it makes me smile when I see one of them hopping across the carpet. 

But on the other hand, they do tend to sh*t everywhere. Even when they're not flapping about in a panic. They just poop. All the time. It would be like me having a conversation with you while pooping*.

So Caro found this curtain at the free trade shop which allows us to have the back door open but (so far) has prevented blackbird incursion. It is perfect because it means the cats can come and go as they wish.

However, I have noticed with some amusement that if the curtain is wafting in the breeze, Punky is very careful. He watches the rhythm of the sway, watches... watches... 

Then he DARTS through!

"It's like when we played double skipping rope," said Caro. "You'd wait for your moment."

Punky would have been great at double skipping rope.

S.

* I swear I have never done this.
