Curtain Monkeys are fine until they have a fight, then it’s not just PETA that kicks up the stink (and flings it about).

You may. In fact I might quite inadvertently have had yer hand off there. Look, it will probably regrow.
And the chicken is delicious

The squirrels (or one ovvem, at least) has w#rked out that the peanuts are Good and accessible.

Huge. And very fuzzy. Both of which are highly desirable in a bee.

Perhaps you missed the way the bee was regarding The Hound, Hedgers. I let one of my little beely cousins buzz around me for simply ages, today - they only check you out to see if you’re a flower, after all - only to discover it was a ginormous wasp with, presumably, evil intent. As there had been many of these, around the garden rasping away at any untreated wood, I fell to thinking that perhaps the wasp thought I may be an untreated wooden-top.
Another anecdote. Mr Bee uses digital scales to weigh his morning porridge and water, ovva morning. Those provided here weren’t w#rking, so we popped out to the outdoorsy shop in Killin for a replacement battery. Mr Bee wozz delighted that the chap could supply a suitable battery and expressed hizz delight. I paid the 50p required and the assistant smiled and said, “Have a great time”. For wot other devices are CR2032 3V Lithium cells required? Replies to Beech Cottage.
The scales were knadgerated, anyhoo, so we bought new ones in Aberfeldy as life is too short.

I know several, but nothing I’d be inclined to smile about.
Friend of mine was on a diet for which he had to account for grammes of fat, etc., and found that yes, you can get very accurate scales which you can fold up and stick in a pocket. I’m sure they have “substantial non-infringing uses”.

A mate of mine is very proud of his ‘drug dealer scales’, which were indeed used for drugs of a kind. The TCHM kind, to be precise

Oh, yeah? Well, I have a spice grinder with pollen catcher anna brush and everyfink! It’s psychedelic and my kinder laugh at it.
I am on the look-out for Pine Marten. They have been re-introduced, in some areas, and I don’t want them predating my red squirrels. I’ll try to send a squirrel pic in the morn.
Best dreams, all.
