In other news I've almost successfully tamed one of the garden squirrels. This morning I was sat in the doorway because it was raining hard and he (she?) came up onto the top step because it didn't want the almond that was on the second step down and stood there in front of me, arms folded. Clearly they've now conditioned me to act in their interest because I got up, came into the kitchen for hazelnuts and when I opened the back door again it was stood there waiting but I wasn't brave enough to hold out the nut so I placed it on the step, squirrel picked it up and had a nibble then sauntered off down the garden again. I'm going to miss this when I'm back at work next week.
