Yes, Tea please.

and a mince pie or three, thank you :tongue:

The cat has pushed the tree over twice already. I am delaying putting twinkling little sparkly things on it in the vain hope that she finds something more interesting to play with. :ohmy: Like her own tail, or the ping pong ball or the other cat, or the birds in the garden or the tree in the garden .... anything really. :biggrin:

You can have as many as you like, just as long as you don't put your feet on the furniture.:smile:

Hi all. Been away for a bit. Mrs Uncle Phil's back home and has been distracting me from you lot!;)

For the mouse lovers:

Caught this little gent in the course of work a few weeks back. They seem to be quite widespread, but hard to trap, so we don't know just how widespread, but they probably aren't as rare as the textbooks suggest - they're just under-surveyed. We think.

Anyway, he must have seen the camera because rather than just running off to cover, he posed beautifully for me for several minutes. Different poses and everything. As soon as I put the lens cap on, he scuttled back into the weeds.

He's a harvest mouse, by the way. Isn't he charming?

That's just like the one I found in my garden. ;) I was fascinated by his or her tiny front claws, that look like fingers. The summer that it was in my garden was that very hot summer, so I made sure it had water available, but what do they eat?
When I picked him up, I held him gently round his (round) tummy, he did not seem to mind.

I've always been fascinated by the claws of mice and rats, they look so human in a lot of respects.

More tea?

Hello there, tdr1nka! :blush:

'Tis OK; managed to get rid of the virus that attacked me in Asia.

I'm a bit restless at the mo! I'm trying to get away for February (either skiing, beach and/or cycling - but I've no one to go with!).

Meeting Chuffy and Baggy on Saturday, and possibly Aperitif next Tuesday whilst in en route for New Year in Stockholm.

Hopefully we'll find a convenient date to meet as well before too long. ;)
