That sounds quite horrific EL 
they're aggressive birds, we have seagulls here but they're not often noisy first thing - hope you can catch up on your sleep tonight.

Note that there's no pay involved.
I also see that they don't provide food. I wonder why 
No amount of money would persuade me to go on that!
Squiggle, how fabulous to see the deer near your garden! They are such beautiful animals.
*twirls for Moonie* My hair was badly needing done, so I feel a lot better now it has been cut.
Skylark, I feel sorry for you being wakened by seagulls. They really are the thugs of the ornothological world.
Oh dear, yes they are aggressive birds. Not the first time they have flew down and tried to attack me. Very scary One of my neighbours said she saw a fox, so maybe they can scare them off. A few years back a family of foxes lived near and no seagulls came . So dont know how much truth in that. Foxes can scream just as loud though! They can open bins so easy, maybe they hungry so will try to have patience....not ....!

I love foxes. When my eldest was a student, I used to pick him up from work at 10pm and the foxes would be wandering about the carpark looking for scraps. The cubs are so cute!
They are noisy at times and they do make a mess when they get into bins etc.

We see quite a few foxes around here but they can't get into the wheelie bins.
Yogi, that's true and probably now that we've got wheelie bins, they can't be as easy for foxes to get into. Having said that my neighbout often has so many black bags in thie wheelie that the lid isn't flat and the bags are visible (don't know if they recycle things - they don't use the recycle box but of course could go to the recycling banks)

We often get foxes chugging along the road outside in the early hours of the morning 
Recreation ground at the bottom of our garden and public park at the bottom of the road
Me and my sister watched a fox and cubs playing in the long grass in her back garden one year too

Squiggle, their policy is not to replace anything until all repair options are exhausted 
To that end, they repaired it
As long as it is repaired to your full satisfaction moonie
Looking good Yogi! It makes a lot of difference to how you feel doesn't it. I told my grandson about the deer and it is the same one I saw in the field last year, I didn't think she would ever venture into my garden though, I wonder if she has become separated from the herd.
I've only ever seen one fox down here and that was right after I'd said to my brother-in-law and his wife who I was fetching from the station that I'd never seen a fox

I've spilled curry sauce on my top, so I'm off to find the stain remover.
Will be back later.

wow that is absolutely awesome would love that
Good morning everyone.
The sun is shining - yay!
Preparing for PB's arrival. Won't be around until evening.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning Buddies
Dull and overcast. Hoping for better weather later. No rain promised but then none was promised yesterday but it still came in the afternoon
Yogi, hope you and PB have a lovely fun filled day together. The nice weather you are having right now will certainly help
El, ta muchly
I shall try to be patient
Squiggle and Skylark, I hope you both have a lovely weekend
Back throughout the day 
Good morning everyone, it looks as if it could be a nice day, just needs to warm up a bit.
Well done on being so patient moonie, I hope all goes well and thank you for you good wishes the work is finally finished so I am just beginning to put everything back where it belongs and clean, clean clean. Last of the curtains on to wash, just pelmets and tie backs then.
Have a lovely PB day Yogi I hope the wee one is on top form.
Skylark I hope you have a great weekend no matter what you do and EL too I hope the sun shines on you both.
Enjoy your day everyone
Squiggle, I'm glad that the work on your house has been finished on schedule and once the cleanng is done and the curtains back up, the house will be spectacular
skylark, I hope you have a relaxing weekend
Just returned from M&S. A couple of blackcurrant and almond tarts somehow crept into my shopping. They are new, from their instore bakery section.
Spiders have a musical side to them:

Unsuitable for arachnophobes of course,
Afternoon Buddies
Back from shopping trip with my sister 
No blood spilt Still no mobile phone though. She can't find the exact one she is after. Don't ask She is going to leave it until after the hols now...sighs with relief
Going past a handbag shop on the way home. "Oh I like that one." So we went into the shop, had a good mooch around and she came out with......an entirely different one. Women and their handbags
Love you all really .

I'll refrain from saying the obvious as the commentator says it:

Evening all.
I've had a good day but it's been very busy. Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Night owl hugs.
Morning all.
Weather here not so bad, heading off with Granddaughter soon , just a wander about in town, then maybe the Botanic Gardens, weather will decide that!
Have a happy Sunday

Me too, the weather is not nice enough down here but I hope it's a lovely outing.
I am glad you're enjoying the cakes EL, M&S used to do a lovely cherry and almond tart which were scrumptious but I haven't seen them in there for ages now.
I think I'm beginning to get on top of the mess and the dirt, it felt so good to get the extension clean yesterday. It looked clean but it was just gritty and horrible and fine black dust everywhere - only to be expected as they took the old roof away. Hopefuly the rest of the glasses and ornaments go back today.
Enjoy your day everyone
