I decided to go for and early walk through the park and into the glen. I had cut up some spare bread for the ducks and last week got peanuts in shells for when I went there to see if the squirrels were about. The pigeons were very quiet, maybe because it was early, so I did get to give nuts to a few squirrels. They were very cute.

That one ate his peanut but some went off to bury them. I have no idea how they ever find them again!

Let's have another cute autumn squirrel picture!

The glen was lovely as usual and very tranquil and quiet so early.

As I walked back through the park the seagulls were flying about, I won't tell you how many snaps I took trying to catch on over the lake!

Now a bit of a mystery, I saw these markings in two or three places, a bit like crop circles on the concrete!! Any ideas why they are there? Presumably something has been stood there but they were in twos each time.

Last night I did a lot of pruning in the back garden, quite a pile of trimmings to get moved to the garden waste bin, I will get Darren to fetch it up the steps for me when he is home.

The trimmings are the pile of stuff that looks like a bush! This afternoon I have made sure the house is ready for Darren and Tina's return, although I have heard from them now and it is likely to be quite late, around 10 pm. I also made some cakes, got the bedding from the bed downstairs I have been using washed and dried outside. I have just been out and mowed the back lawn so everything is pretty much ship shape, I have Colonel on my right now, he will be happy to see them home, and I will be happy to be in my own bed without him!!
