(https://www.woolandhome.com/2021/12/the-danger-section.html) Instead of chicken, someone has left out a pan of bread, I assume for the animals. I can't really figure out why someone would buy food to feed wild animals, who presumably could find their own food, but weirder things have happened.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088145312661308233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-72651930407243507472021-12-21T17:12:32.557+00:002021-12-21T17:12:32.557+00:00I am hooked!

As soon as I see her mouth going it's fingers in to locate the item before any swallowing is possible.<br />I do think footballers were more loyal to there clubs when they were less money oriented. We often saw Leeds Utd players in the local pub and they seemed to stay for their entire playing career.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-40757777905576655072021-12-21T16:38:17.393+00:002021-12-21T16:38:17.393+00:00I love this season too!

It just makes me happy to be out walking in the mist and gloaming. <br />My grandparents used to put out food for the foxes - it infuriated their farmer neighbour no end. But I think they stuck to leftovers, no fancy fresh chicken breasts for their foxes. They'll be getting ideas about their station. <br />Formula One is Not Worth Your Energy. Well done for letting it go.<br />Have a wonderful Solstice with your family and Fat Albert (best tree name ever!).

My answer to this was that I only buy cut flowers in season, to which he said it is the season for Christmas trees. Can't win. Funny you mention Formula 1 racing. Fi and Jane talked about this very same on their last Fortunately podcast. They were as puzzled as you are about the rules I think (I was half asleep when listening). My paternal grandmother used to watch Formula one, something I found a bit weird. I hope you found the culprits who waste perfectly good food on foxes. I am not fond of urban foxes but maybe that is because we are almost outnumbered by them in my neighbourhood. I sat face to face with one not long ago, only a windowpane between our two noses. The fox, a beautiful well fed specimen was not bothered about being in my company. I am convinced they sometimes come in through our large cat flap and go for the cat food because no cat can eat that much food. The dog can't reach it so can't be blamed... Happy solstice! Not a day too soon I have to say, it has been exceptionally gloomy here in Glasgow xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-39171008443872423072021-12-21T14:07:24.808+00:002021-12-21T14:07:24.808+00:00That's a lovely tree.

I’m a total dunderhead when it comes to sport. The only thing I do understand is tennis and I’m am a wiz at scoring, other than that forget it.<br />Love the tree and the fact you will have it for years, hopefully.
