They're really aggressive, they'll throw things at you for daring to walk near a tree they're in and they force greys to move out of the area to

My sister has a grey squirrel that comes into her garden and will even take a monkey nut from her fingers.

loved Squirrels till they decided to nest in my loft and wake me up every morning running around. Ended up having a new roof ( on the council )

Lovely day out at Headingley, watching Joe Root get 121 at the 2nd day of the England v India Test Match.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
We're going to go and visit my sister in East Sussex (nr Uckfield) for lunch and a chin wag. We've been Zoom video calling on a regular basis but seeing someone in person is much nicer. We'll also see how the dog training is going.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Thanks for a misreading or something my son's application for accommodation at Uni went missing and the places available where much more expensive (Like £8.5k without meals compared to £5.5k with some meals).
This was discovered while we were on holiday so our day trip en-route home via Exeter instead of just a night at restaurant and look round became a search to see if anything cheaper and closer was available. Still nice night out at great Thai restaurant and the campus is better than the town centre (sorry Exeter). Now he's deferred his place a year so pressure is off, he can grow up a bit, earn some money and get a place in hall next year. Also possible things will not just lock down next year or less likely than this year.

Oh wow that is good news.
I lost one of mine on a day out many many years ago. We found it months later when the car was having a full valet prior to our wedding. It had managed to hide itself under the carpet!!! It was only a cheap pair but had a lot of sentimental value . Kept the singleton and the reunited pair are safely tucked up in my Memories Box.

Or gnomes, it's the Gnomes of Zurich I tell you. They like shiny expensive things.

In 2019 my niece lost a bit of her bracelet while on holiday, we searched the room but couldn't find it, a few weeks after we can home i stood on it on our carpet, and yet she nor her mum had been in our house.
I guess it was caught up in her clothing and dropped into stuff we took home.

I remember the story about a woman who lost a ring while gardening and several years later she was pulling up some carrots, only to find the ring around one.
