Have spent the afternoon out in the wood in the company of wheelbarrow and chainsaw working on the tangled mess the drainage board left along one edge. I have liberated two heaped wheelbarrows of ash logs, and there's still enough lying within easy-ish reach for at least two more. Then there's a whole stack of hazel to get going on.

Now sat down with a well earned and a large lebkuchen heart covered in dark chocolate.

Today is the day also for King Cake if you are French/Cajun American, where the King Cake is made, and a little baby Jesus is put in it when the cake is frosted. If your piece of cake has the Bebe,or Feve, you have to front the costs for the Mardi Gras party.

Galette du Roi.

Sometimes I make one, sometimes I don't. Don't, as it happens this year. Here it's a dried bean in the cake, and the person who gets is is king or queen for the evening's festivities.

Bob is going to the Vet this afternoon, as he has some bite marks on his back, just above this tail. I do not think this is a bite from another cat, as it is two puncture holes, about 5mm in diameter, and 5mm apart.

hawk talons?

hawk talons?

There are some very large black birds of prey in trees near the end of the garden, Ravens I think.

Bob's temperature was normal. The puncture wounds do not seem infected. He is almost back to normal.

A search for pics of Raven talons came up with this. Could be a contender for the attacker.
