Welcome to a wintry . I'm not sure this cat is entirely happy that his garden has been covered in snow.

Happy to you all. Not so happy for this poor cat who was enjoying his box until his friend sat on it.

I am avoiding Halloween entirely, although it's everywhere. I visited my favourite games site, and software download site and everything was spooky and witchy. Nothing normal.
We have never had trick or treat kids round here in all the years we have lived here, so I hope that continues, but our undecorated yard and the curtains drawn should be a hint to them.

Perfect arrangement... though I am surprised they agreed to have one bed each and not share.

& G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!

Thursday has been a bit mean to me, because I didn't get up at crack of sparrows fart it turned the power off just as I got into the kitchen & kept it off for 30 minutes!
Hats off to the Northern Powergrid engineer who fixed the fault well within the specified repair window we got though!

Not a lot on today, although I do have to take Mrs S to the hospital for an appointment later - nothing serious thankfully.

Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day ! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

Thursday has hurried in bringing cooler weather with it thankfully.
Expecting a high of 25ºC today, much more comfortable than yesterday’s punishing 29.7!

Let’s see what the day brings.

@MAJ1 weirdfolks@a.gup.pe icon weirdfolks group I have the fan which has been running all day and night. It helps, but not much. Opening the window is an invitation to all the insects, and last night also a cat !

Wednesday is doing its best to out shine Tuesdays early efforts. It’s gonna be a hot one today so there will be much hiding away & avoiding having roasted nuts!

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

I’m not at all sure what is currently ailing me & neither are the local GPs, who have decided that since I’m not exhibiting any symptoms of anything they might worry about that they are not going to worry about it full stop. I think I need to find me a good horse doctor! :-

“When a human doctor, after much bleeding and cupping, finds that a patient has died out of sheer desperation, he can always say, "Dear me, will of the gods, that will be thirty dollars please," and walk away a free man. This is because human beings are not, technically, worth anything. A good racehorse, on the other hand, may be worth twenty thousand dollars. A doctor who lets one hurry off too soon to that great paddock in the sky may well expect to hear, out of some dark alley, a voice saying something on the lines of "Mr. Chrysoprase is very upset," and find the brief remainder of his life full of incident.”
― Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay

Right off to Night City to run thru the last mission of act 1 which is a long one!

I’ll catch you Peeps in the morning!

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

@MAJ1 weirdfolks@a.gup.pe icon weirdfolks group I am disgusted by the doctor's attitude. You need a second opinion, even by going into ER and getting some advice there. I don't know, but someone has to take notice and I pray there will be an answer.

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

Tonight I have delved into The Guide for a quote, which actually describes me very well! :-

“Have another drink," said Trillian. "Enjoy yourself."
"Which?" said Arthur. "The two are mutually exclusive."
"Poor Arthur, you're really not cut out for this life are you?"
"You call this life?"
"You're starting to sound like Marvin."
"Marvin is the clearest thinker I know."
Douglas Adams — ‘The Restaurant at the End fo the Universe’

Ugh I think an early night is called for - might watch a movie or have an Attenborough hit on the TV in the bedroom.

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I hope you’re well & safe! 😊🫶:party_major_squirrel:🖖

& G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!

I heard a vicious rumour that it’s Thursday, I’m working on the theory that it may or may not be based on whether I choose to open my eyes & observe it!

A really rough night last night, the Manaria decided that if I was going to hit it with pain killers it would get me back with hot sweats & weird sensations.

Don’t expect a lot out of me today.

Ugh, ok I’m awake.
What ever this bug is it’s kicking my ass, might have to go see the GP Monday if it doesn’t start getting better by then.

Plans for today - not caving in to this malaise entirely for starters.

@MAJ1 weirdfolks@a.gup.pe icon weirdfolks group I hope you feel better soon. It may be the new version of Covid you are experiencing, but whatever it is, give yourself plenty of rest and relevant medication.

Good morning & welcome to Sqwerl News!
Here is the weather for Thursday: there will be sharp showers of bläh followed by longer spells of bläh with periods of bläh in between.

If anyone needs me I’ll be in a the editing suite attempting to OD on chocolate.

The UK weather forecast: HOT, but cool with rain and thunderstorms and calm sunny skies overcast with hail, snow, bird droppings and rays of sun alongside petrified stone and sand frazzled by the outrageous heat.
Anything goes.

Ok I’m a bit late for the morning post, but in my defense, & I suggest regular Squirrel fans sit down for this, I’ve been out in the garden working on the pond!
I need to de-populate th triffid bed that filters the water because they is big & bad & taking over - it’s like 70% triffid 30% gravel at the moment! Also there has been a persistent leak which I think is due to the plants pushing the water level up.

I’ll write this all up tonight in my diary, for those who want more!

Have a cracking day & remember : No Pecan,if your nut allowed! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

Right Peeps these flat pack units I’m going to put the speakers on (shut up purists or you’ll find a squirrel in a very inconvenient location! 😜) won’t build themselves!

(Just occurred to me that the human race still has a chance again AI as long as IKEA exists!)

So I’ve been an exceptionally good squirrel today & , in view of the bright sunshine I’ve give the washing machine a thorough cleaning and put it on a maintenance wash.

So of course the sun is now hidden behind clouds 🤔🙄
