    Going for a ride in the morning, I think. Am looking forward to all the boxing on tomorrow night on Sky though. Apart from Williams, I would rather watch paint dry, may not stay up to see Khan v Malinaggi which is on ITV either.

    Thursday night is not the ideal night for a whisky tasting.

    I count myself lucky that I have never purchased a Focus from Wiggle.

    Hovis best of both is only £1 in Asda. I only know because someone I know shops there. I wouldn't be friends with someone if they did their main shop in Asda, I think it speaks volumes about their moral fortitude and upbringing.

    My back has been playing me up something awful. I think it's my poor posture when sitting at a desk (which I did a lot last week).

    Thank goodness the squirrel showed no interest in the loop of old 105 gear cable that was attached to the tree :wink: . At least I didn't have any explaining to do to bewildered or traumatised children this morning.

    There was about 2 metres of wire in my top floor balcony box this morning. I don't know where it came from but if a squirrel had managed to strangle itself on it I would have been pleased. I have unsettled scores with the squirrel population....

    Am getting an air rifle soon. Am going to be like the dude in full metal jacket hanging out of the side of a helicopter shouting "get some" as I shoot the little bastards right in the head :twisted:

    A double espresso doesn't provide enough coffee flavouring for a whole coffee and walnut cake. Next time it'll have to be a tablespoon of Nescafe, I'm afraid! Still a nice cake though!

    A lady at the swimming pool put her bikini bottoms on inside out. Everyone could see what size and brand they were.

    No sign of the squirrel in the garden since Sunday afternoon. He hasn't strangled himself, that's for sure. Wonder where he is.

    Mr A has just headed off to London....I suspect the squirrel has been waiting for this moment before launching his assault on the bird feeders and digging up the lawn.

    I have installed my own squirrel-proof contraption in the garden so maybe he's been foiled by that (upturned bucket threaded through the bird feeder pole so squirrel can only get half-way up the pole - a more humane contraption than the gear cable device!) We gave up trying to grease the pole with olive oil - only worked for a short while before all the oil came off (and was too expensive).

    If I'm honest, I quite like grey squirrels. Apart from the genetically doomed red squirrel, they don't really do any harm do they?

    They can chew on wiring and damage trees by removing bark to get at the sap. Living somewhere with a population of red squirrels (although I've not seen one for a couple of years, there's still evidence they're around), I really don't want to see any greys.
