I have a baby squirrel in and around my garden. Bazzy and I have named him Baby Cyril 

Well, I say baby, he obviously isn’t very old as he is not very big. He was raiding the bird feed today

😂 He will be gathering up food to bury/store to see him through the winter.

Our squirrel hasn’t returned....so far.

He was gathering it to put in his tummy the way he was scoffing it 
Awwww

😂 He must have been hungry.

We’re quite happy if ours stays away as he kept going on the security cameras and we were worried he’d chew the wires.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

Oh, in that case hopefully if he does come back he stays away from the wires

Good morning everyone it's a very eerie sky this morning with a massive black cloud over towards Wales. I'm sure the pirate ship will find a new home very quickly. 

Enjoy your day everyone

North wales was quite hot and sunny squiggle  thank goodness

Good morning everyone

Hazy sunshine here at present. No black clouds here, Squiggle.

A Cheltenham man has completed a 5 year hike around the British coastline (6 thousand miles). A few of the photos he took:

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Some cloud here but quite bright. Seems cooler than earlier this week.

Moonie, should your squirrel be called Cyrille

I hope everyone has a good day

As in Cyrille Regis, MBE. Former West Bromwich Albion soccer player? 

Good morning everyone  

Cool and breezy start here. The weather forecast says sunny with a high of 18° 

Nothing much planned for today 

I hope you all have a lovely day 

Incidentally El, there is a trio of life size statues in a huddle of Cyrille Regis, Brendan Batson and Laurie Cunningham on a huge plinth in New Square, West Bromwich. They was nickname the Three Degrees

That's who I was thinking of

If you didn't know, regis is Latin for king so King Cyrille

No, I didn't know that

Incidentally, in Batson's case it's Brendon rather than Brendan. Easy to get the two names mixed up. Brendan Foster for instance. And to make it even more confusing, there's Brandon (Brandon Lee for instance).

Are you fluent in Latin then El?

No. I'm not at all fluent in Latin though do know a few words. If you look at the front of a coin you will see "ELIZABETH II D G REG". On a bank note you'll see "E R". The "REG" and "R" are short for "Regina", Latin for queen.
The Latin for king is "rex" but that varies in Latin depending on how the word is used in a sentence. So "regis" and "rege" also mean "king".

(D G = Del Gratia, Latin for "By the Grace of God", the E for Elizabeth II)

Thanks for the info El. I didn’t know any of the meanings of the above 

Here is a piece of music, a waltz, by the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu:

It was composed for a 1966 film "Tanin no kao"

It's not what you might expect from a Japanese piece of music

Evening all 

After a foggy start, the sun appeared 

Mr Y cut the lawns while I was at hospital so I didn’t have to do my sweeping up chores 

Hope you’ve all had a good day

Good morning everyone it's a bit of an eerie sky again. There could be a few showers today. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Rather cloudy here at present.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone  

Its a cool and cloudy but sunshine and a high of 19° promised for later 

I have changed my duvet to my winter one as I was cold last night 

Consequently, my duvet is in storage and the duvet cover is in the washer 

I hope you all have a lovely day 

Moonie, I think the nights are forecast to be cooler by the middle of next week (6° Thursday) so it looks as if autumn is starting.

You’re right El 

Here comes autumn 

I noticed this morning when I went shopping a lot of water at a roundabout on the roads. Tunrs out that it was caused by a burst pipe. Although I wasn't affected quite a lot of householders near the roundabout were without water this afternoon, Water company is now repairing the leak and says that water has been restored to those houses.

It’s nice you wasn’t affected El but annoying for the people was. Glad to see they have their water back now 

Evening all 

A sunny day but there was a chilly breeze.

El, I’m glad you weren’t affected by the burst pipe 

It’s definitely getting cooler at night so I think you were right to put on your winter duvet, Moonie

Hope everyone has had a good day
