I think I hate squirrels


Today was spent relaxing mostly.  After my post last night, my wife and I watched Kinky Boots. But it as late we went to bed and on waking this morning, finished it.  I loved it, and while the film was a predictable feel good film. I liked it for the quality of acting and the background in which the film was set.  It is not often that the topic of drag queens is in film, and while this does not match up to films like The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert and The Birdcage, it still was an enjoyable film.

I also after watched Clone Wars with my son, relaxed with my wife in the garden went for a bike ride, and started to watch Attack of the Clones with the kids.  My son decided that he did not want to watch it as he had watched it recently but watched the first part before heading for bed.  My daughter is now in bed so we may finish it tomorrow.

And I fed the birds, my wife had made some lovely sandwiches for lunch and we still had some left over from yesterday.  So the bread from yesterday’s sandwiches and the crusts from lunch went to the birds. I have some big balls as well so took them out to feed them.  Only to find that the squirrels had somehow managed to get into a caged feeder.  My wife and I had seen one running across the lawn with what appeared to be a bird ball.  I discounted it because there was no way into the feeder, or so I thought.  But they had managed to get into it, and take out the ball of food.  I hate the little gits, but I am impressed that they were able to do this.  Very impressed.
