The only neighbour I speak to is my next door one, and she's elderly and has arthritis. I'm sure she would have wanted to help and look out for me if she was able. It's kind of the other way round, I look out for her. And me and my garden volunteer try to help out in wee ways when we can. What's happening with your back? Have they worked out what the problem is yet?

On the third day I staggered downstairs, and thought I saw movement through the window if the wood burner....opened the door just enough po spy a very black squirrel, that if attracted by the embers and warmth, had been in there for a couple of days.<br />Felt too poorly from the op to tackle it myself, so called for help!<br />My cousin and husband came over armed with thick gauntlet leather gardening gloves....set up furniture to encourage it to the open door if it got out, and went for it!<br />The squirrel was grabbed by the scruff of its neck and thrown into the garden but almost bit through the glove en route! It promptly ran up the garden and onto the fence and spent the next ten minutes cleaning itself up....Elizabeth Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895093287048898906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-944787462036234182017-01-14T22:13:13.371+00:002017-01-14T22:13:13.371+00:00Hello Barb,

We don't often see squirrels round here but one lunchtime as I was leaving home to go back to work I saw my cat looking up a lamppost. There at the top was a squirrel so I called the cat away and went to work. Four hours later when I got home it was still there. I kept going out to check on it and eventually rang the RSPCA. They told me that sometimes when they have been chased up somewhere like that they freeze and to go and bang on the lamppost to wake it up. He came down later when I wasn't around. I bet his wife thought he was telling a tall tale. xx Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445320462038520797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-63054466165974255222017-01-14T20:15:01.168+00:002017-01-14T20:15:01.168+00:00Oh Barbara you really got to write a story you are...Oh Barbara you really got to write a story you are a natural.

Every time Dave and I go to London, we go to a Greenwich Park , take a packet of monkey nuts and wait for the squirrels to come to be fed. They take the nuts very, very gently and sit on their hind legs nibbling the shell away and then the nuts. They are really funny. Sorry I didn't comment yesterday, but lack of sleep caused a migraine so was in bed all day. My lovely papers came today and have to say they are fabulous! Already made two quick thank you cards for the A&E dept and the Ward staff as they were absolutely brilliant.
