Minty Fresh

Sharon - I love watching the sparrows squabbling and bickering. It really is an entertainment. 

There were a lot of rats around yesterday, so today we put down peppermint oil again. DH brought in a pack of cheap washing up sponges and we soaked them with peppermint oil and threw them around the garden (which made no difference to the standard of the garden, unfortunately). The wheelie bins now smell of toothpaste and the porch is like being punched in the nose by a very large polo. Hopefully that will cut down furry visitors.

Apart from that, things have been wonderfully, splendidly boring. Bear was out today with friends in town and will be out again tomorrow. I think that we are starting the shift to 'see him in passing' now that he's getting older. It's quite nice, as he was happy to talk about what he saw and did, so we haven't lost that. 

Hugs and good health to all.
