Just watched one of the regularly red squirrels jump out of the conifers onto the top of the fence, run all along it to the border then jump into the flower bed up onto the bird bath for a drink then jump back onto the fence, into the laurel then onto the bird table for his dinner.

Would have been perfect with the "mission impossible" tune to accompany it 😁

There is something soothing about squirrels, I was watching one the other day messing about near my car at work. I was mesmerised for a bit.

The reds are dead cute and I love how they quite happily come into the garden nearly every day.

haha

I was in a team meeting and moaned about I think our product and search results which led to me giving a sarky "Yeah, OK, google, what next?"

Boss goes: Thanks that that Tony, it seems my phone responds to you.

Saving it for a big occasion.

Next door's scaffolding is finally gone.

90% of it was on our property and we were told it'd be there for 'a couple of weeks',it's been ten months.

Inadvertantly catching the deciding NRL state of origin game, brutal doesn't cover it, punches thrown, punches landed it was a brilliant watch and I have never played any rugby in my life. Anyone who likes rugby this is well worth finding online.

Finished doing my garden, so sat watching the cricket with a rum and berry slush. Very content.

I haven't watched a game of football since the CL final and it feels great. I feel refreshed and looking forward to our first match now.

I do think a break was needed as watching us was exhausting last year

Plus the stench of corruption in Paris

but yes, it will be nice to see us again.

Same here. Felt burned out on football and couldn’t bring myself to even care anything about a single England game. Even the pre season stuff I haven’t looked at. Looking forward to first premier game with the exception being if the England ladies get to the final.

cut the grass yesterday and noticed a small toad hopping out of the way of the blades a couple of seconds before they got minced.

Sat in the garden this morning on a teams meeting and a squirrel bounds past me, starts to roll about in the flower bed, rubbing his belly and stuff, then climbs onto the low wall and stretches out belly down to I assume cool down.

Waking up this morning to a lovely cool breeze coming through the window. Now I can finally work properly and go back to the gym after that heatwave.

For half an hour.
