Good girl and hungry squirrel

Picking Bella and Hetty up from school was a bit difficult today. I left the house early and walked a roundabout route. As I came out of the playing fields I walked across to the pavement but caught the front of my boot on the kerb. I went flying, landing on my left hand and right knee. Very painful at the time but all I have to show for it is a grazed knee with a small cut. What you can't see is my right thumb joint, hurts like hell. I'm wondering if I have a cracked bone but pointless going to A&E, if they plastered it I wouldn't be able to ride, or even drive, so best to just leave it and it'll get better all on it's own.
However, when Bella came out she had a sticker on her top which said "Head Teachers Award". It was for achieving 10 gold stars for responsibility, which I think means being a really good girl and being responsible for taking on tasks.
Before I walked to the school I spotted a squirrel in the garden. Haven't seen them around for a while so took a few snaps of it scurrying around the lawn, scratching away and occasionally having a nibble at something. Do squirrels eat worms? I'm not sure they do but I guess if you are hungry enough you'll eat pretty much anything.
He knew I was watching, he/she kept stopping to look at me peering through the utility door window. Obviously wasn't bothered, or just too hungry.
