I'm still sniffing Ann ;-).Just got OH to sweep up all the stale poison that the little devils had scattered in difficult to get places.

There are 2 young Gt Tits just sitting in the tray of the window feeder.I think they have got to know that if they just stay in there they can munch away to their hearts content :-D
Will have a look at the blog now

Jude's before decking photos are on the photo blog. The 'now' photos will follow later.

I can sniff out anything Ann :-S..I have to say I am the only one in the house with a good sense of smell :-D..Thank heavens there is one of us :-D
I keep going in the garage now (it is just off the kitchen),and doing big sniffs lol.I can still smell something,but I think it might just be the left over poison granules that have been there for a while.(that is what I am hoping) .We will have another search tomorrow for any more bodies !!

Lol Jane visions of you sniffing around the garage :-D

ooh er Jude .I have never seen one of those before.You were lucky to see yours.

I have been sniffing around in the garage as there has been a nasty whiff.It was a dead mouse behind my tumble drier :-S.The heat must have been bringing the smell out :-S :-S..We have had to put poison down (which I hate having to do but sometimes it is necessary ).I just hope there aren't anymore dead ones as our garage is so full it is difficult to move a lot of the stuff.
I went back in just now and I think it smells ok now :-D :-D

Thanks Jude

Twice yesterday we had a very young blackbird (female\) in the garden, it could just about fly but didn't have all its tail feathers. It was hopping around the lawn in the afternoon and didn't fly off when I tok some mealy worms out and threw them in front of it. It ate quite a few. In the evening she re-visited after a bath (she was all wet) and had a very long drink at our water feature. Not seen her today but we were out a long time.

The Budleia continues to attract peacock butterflies and yeaterday we had a small Tortoiseshell

l will also keep looking to see if it is still about here, very strange looking.

Their way of telling you they don't want seed they want fat balls Jane :-D

It would be lovely to see Kandj back on here <3

Thanks Ann.I really must work out how to do this google account thing so that I can add comments myself on the Blog .
I just showed OH the lovely comments :-D :-D.He has really only just started this painting hobby again after about 25 years.He did some when the children were very young but then work got in the way and he just didn't have time.Now he has all the time in the world :-D

Kandj says Hello to all who know her,and also says that in time she hopes to be back on the thread :-D.It will be great to have her back <3

I must go and fill up the feeder.I think all the suet pellets have gone and it seems like all the seeds are just being flung out over the sides :-S

Thanks Ann for your comment and also Yvonne.Ann please would be able to reply to her for me on the blog and say thank you.I too think he is very talented,and both me and my Daughter have suggested that he might think about selling some at some point.But at the moment I don't think he feels he is good enough.Silly Billy :-)

Jane your oh's latest painting is on the craft blog. :-)
