I WAS GOING TO WRITE OUT A LONG LONG POST but somehow am not in the frame of mind for posting longlonglongwinded things.
Matran is back on the crack. Laundretta was screaming and yelling at some unearthly hour of the night then stomped off down the stairs to catterwaul and holler on the street last night so I should have known then.
I saw a fox last night! It was literally hand-feeding distance. And I had Jaffa Cakes on me. Of course the necessity of opening the packet scared her off (dunno why but it looked like a she). I threw one down the street and she ran across the road. But the amount of vermin on my street I knew it would not go to waste...
We have pigeons in our pack garden! They sit on a green totally moss covered psychedelically bright tree (well it is under a certain morning light). If I had a camera I'd have photo'd it.
Instead you have to click to see the picture of today. It is Welshcakes with her puppydog Simi ...
Have a pleasant weekend everyone!

A wolf once crossed my path up north (and i was stoned) that was pretty cool and scarey all at the same time....
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for foxes living in huge cities like London, they should be out in the country. The urban sprawl in Toronto is happening so rapidly that we are finding deer stuck on major hwys...oh the power of the almighty dollar!
Have a good one!
Jaffa Cakes!! .... I would consider joining the vermin for one of those lol *!*
ReplyDeleteEileen: deer stuck on mighty highways... in this country when you get to Scotland you know you're really in the sticks when you get the roadsign warning of a silhouetted deer in a red circle!! Are these deer coming into the burbs then? Surely not inner cities!!
ReplyDeleteThe foxes prefer being in towns as there's more food for 'em in people's garbage. In the country they get shot at for savaging entire pens full of chickens!
Bimbimbie: can you get Jaffa Cakes in Australia? Mine were Polish or Turkish strawberry flavoured ones (so where "Jaffa" came in I do not know...)
Foxes in the gardens of London houses? How far out in the city do you live? That's unreal and also a bit sad. Like someone else said as well: they shouldn't (need to) be there...
ReplyDeleteWe have foxes here too. They were originally imported from England in this nation's infancy to provide hunting for the more wealthy Colonial settlers. Now, it's a bit like the rabbits which were imported for the same reason...a very noxious pest. However, we don't have rabbits in Queensland...we have a rabbit proof fence that hundreds of km long to keep them out.
ReplyDeleteThere's your little bit of useless information for the day...
There were a lot of foxes around Cristal Palace when I used to visit my son in London.
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of shops I've stumbled upon that sell some lines of British sweets and food lines and there's one in Sydney that are on line. A couple of years ago I spent a fortune on a sweet fix after walking into one of those shops - walnut whips, walkers crisps, revels, midget gems, black current licqorice and of course jaffa cakes, the original - my Gran always had them in as a treat on Saturday visits *!*
ReplyDeleteHi Gleds ~~ So you were feeding a fox or trying to. You have a kind heart.
ReplyDeleteAnd fancy Jaffa bickies at that. I am glad your warts didn't come back, gives me some hope that the thing on my nose will disappear. It's like a big pimple, but could be cancerous.
Are you doing any writing these days?
Take care of yourself, Regards, Merle.
Perhaps the fox came back for the jaffa cake as they are intelligent? Thanks for the link, Gleds - Simi and I are flattered!
