*So* much effort - of all kinds. 😔 Sending strength, and may it be done with more smiles than tears. 💛

I don't understand; why are YOU trying to negotiate? Aren't woodpeckers very SMALL dinosaurs? Why don't you send the very BIG ants to kind of go 'Hey fellas? How are things?' Or the giant ceiling cockroaches?

Nothing threatening. Maybe a little casual antenna grooming. Dinos might retreat! 👍

I realise this is a writing prompt - but this is so lovely. 💙

💛 to all but the last bit. 😬

I am only just seeing all this now, and I am SO GLAD it all worked out as well as it did!! 🎉

No need to apologise AT ALL. 🥰

(At times like this, we need a way to 'like' something more than once.)

YES 🤩

Okay, that made me laugh - thank you! 😄

And fried up all the mushrooms after? YUM! 🤤

😄 It was on an expedition with John Wright (author of The Forager's Calendar & others) - who is *great* by the way & if you ever have a chance to go out with him, DO! 😀

Ooh, very cool! I've actually eaten wood ants - once as a challenge, and again because I liked them. They really do taste of lemon! 😄

That was my thought too! 😄

I think it's my favourite! I once had a LOT of expiring bananas & made three batches identical except for the additions: plain, w choc chips (1/2 rec amt b/c I don't have a sweet tooth), blueberry (1/2 rec amt b/c I wasn't sure it would be good! 😯)

They were all delicious - & none lasted long. 😬

Blueberries here ... and sometimes maybe just a touch of lemon.

No butter, no custard ... and yet still, very, very soon, no banana bread. 😧

They *might* not have found it anything yet - it's only been a few days! Which works in your favour; the longer it takes them to notice, the more people might have been to their home, and the list of possible suspects grows! 🕵️‍♀️

Ooh, very pretty! 🤩

😣 Fingers crossed it may find a way to circle around again. 🤞

(So many opportunities are not actually lost forever, and maybe next time you'll be in a better place to wholeheartedly enter in. 🙏

At least it was nice to be thought of! 😀)
