I'm knitting a scarf for a horse. My colleague has four little horses on her desk and I think they need a scarf each. I'll have to photograph the horses but here's the start of my first one

Where's Toula? I heard a new theory for the govt tonight. Bill Shorten's Mother-in-law is the GG. Mmm, will he make a move to become PM?

Sorry to the non-Aussies but we have some interesting days ahead with our PM.

Good night everyone. Sleepover Aunty MissB is off to sleep.

Dinner!

You're just jealous of them because you don't have a country named after you.

We will not expect you at our next pool party. Too bad. You seem to know a lot about wine and good food.

For the raccoons or Ms. Canucklehead?

I suffer looking at that avatar. I voted for the burger eater since I am a vegetarian.

The critter may be a gourmand. You may have to up the enticing food ante. Is there some way to close up any openings the animals use as access to your alluring crawlspace without compromising ventilation and the architectural loveliness of your home?

Lucky for them you are a vegetarian. You might see Wild Turkeys on your Big Sur adventure.

We actually had a few turkeys this year, as well. They are in the area (the house is 500' from a National Forest,) but we had never actually seen them. Saw them on Christmas Day, and off and on thereafter. They've now moved on.

I have turkeys daily for months at a time. Since October I'm sure they have been thru my yard daily. They will usually take a break and move on to another area for a while. Hopefully by Spring when I want to take the fence down and enjoy my garden more.
My all-time record was spotting 40 turkeys at once. 10-15 at a time is normal.

Wild Turkey? Isn't that some rotgut booze?

The important question is whether you see them during hunting season.

Would anyone like some Canada geese, aka rats with wings?

I thought that was pigeons

Pigeons are smaller and produce less poop per bird per day (or hour or minute, to use the more relevant metric).

Geese make good eatings! So do farmed pigeons! Not sure about rats, but if I was on Survivor, you bet I would try it!

We live in a rental so it's up to the landlady to fix these things. She is lovely but, prefers to do things on the cost saving side should we say. We live in a nice town but on a big block in the hills which means lots of creatures. We have the obligatory wild turkeys roaming around the front yard, add in the herd of deer that come thru every day, the family of skunks that we managed to trap and send to heaven, squirrels in the roof and yes one managed to make it's way into my living room which freaked me out - I made DH come home and deal with it. We also had a coyote in the middle of the day roaming on the driveway and let's not forget the fox that knocked on the door one night. Oh and we have bobcats in the trees.

Glad to say we are moving out at the end of April, I am ready for some city living. The good news is we do know what is under the house - it is a wild cat.

That's a lot of nature!!

Far too much nature for someone like me who likes nature best when it is displayed on a HD telly. Believe me I am looking forward to moving - only 69 days to go.

Ah, the big city.
Sirens as I write this, whooping away beyond the concrete horizon.

Someone actually crapped next to my house.
Daily cigarette butt sweep up.

Life is sure good, here in the city!

I prefer being out, but also like being close to Costco.

It was difficult for me to "like" this post.

Yes, thank you.
Please do not "like" someone crapping next to my house.

Too late -- I 'Like'-d it!

u heartless raccoon.
