Actually gutted I’m no longer teaching academic skills and can’t therefore put this to immediate use. I had an entire collection of food/ingredients analogies. My slide graphics would have been outstanding.

If you ever want to appreciate the value of the NHS, get an animal. This little bastard looked like he was at death’s door yesterday, but the problem has been much relieved by the rodent equivalent of a bottle of lactulose and a pack of paracetamol.
£125.
Most expensive 💩 he’s ever had.

Pleased to report that, despite coming under sustained attack this afternoon, my bespoke squirrel proof bird feeder stood strong.
I swear the little bugger looked me straight in the face and muttered ‘challenge accepted’.

So, my garden fox 🤦🏻♀️
Here it is back in June stealing my daughter’s sock from the garden.
This afternoon, it returned the sock to the exact spot it was stolen from. In tatters, yes, but still…it’s back.
Anyone know what this means? Does it require another offering? Is it saying thank you?

It’s going to be one of *those* days in my garden safari again.
That squirrel is only one missed jump away from becoming an interactive squeaky chew toy.

Garden drama.
And this is how I found out that foxes can climb trees. Thankfully, squirrels can still climb them faster.

The baby starlings who’ve been at my feeder all summer have entered their ‘spotty waistcoat’ stage. It’s taken me a while to warm to these birds, noisy and greedy as they are, but I’m getting there.

Also within the Citadel is this - the cathedral building doesn’t have a dome. This is a painting. It’s entirely flat.

It wouldn’t have been a great holiday without visiting at least one very old stone edifice and Malta has some of the very oldest.
