What made you happy today?

What sort of hedgehog box do you have? I have an old home made one that's falling apart, so I don't think anyone uses it :(
I'd like to replace it with something that they'll approve of & feel safe in.

I went to put the bins out last night & watched the bat's all flitting around the lamppost, followed by a big hedgehog trotting past my front gate & off down the road :D 🦔

There’s the hedgehog box, it’s amongst the camellias in a quiet corner of the front garden. Will try and look to see if I have any photos of the layout inside296305C6-C3DC-449D-BD45-E06ACE4F939E.webp

That would be great thank you :)
The other one I made in a bit of a hurry as I ended up hibernating (or not) a hedgehog that was too small to be left to its own devices (450g I think)... In December!Brr!

So I put him out in the makeshift house in April when he'd made it to about 1kg In the warmer weather! It has a corridor & main bedroom to try & deter predators.
 
A lunchtime family trip to a different park where my colleague, her husband and her daughter had a socially distanced picnic with us. The dog was confused as we don't normally stop on his walk and obviously we didn't go up to them so he was wary but it was so nice to see someone and go somewhere different

I managed to amend our holiday so instead of (not) going to Madeira in August we’re going to Austria next July (hopefully).
Looking forward to it already!

Austria is lovely. Just don't go to the top of the ski lift at Innsbruck. Cos all you can see at the top is the graveyard at the bottom of the hill!

That's certainly something to look forward to. I love Austria, though for skiing mostly (we did our alpine walking in Switzerland). Where are you going?

More masks (sorry -cloth face coverings! ) I’ve made and distributed loads already. I’m not a great sewer. Just an enthusiastic amateur. When lockdown started I found a stash of fabric left over from crafting years ago and enjoyed using it to make masks. That ran out so I ordered some more and it’s arrived and it’s ok quality so I’m making more. In the next couple of weeks I will be getting Guinea pig fabric arriving 😀

We’re going to Mayrhofen in the Zillertal. It’s mostly walking but we can easily catch a train to Innsbruck for a day. It looks stunning.
Need to get fitter and polish up my rusty German now
 
In a day of immense sadness I am happy that I was able to be with my cat when he was pts. The vet took him inside to attach a cannula and line then brought him back outside so I could sit with him and cuddle him and hold him while they administered the drug from a social distance via the line. To be able to be with him at the very end was so important. There are people who have been unable to be with human family members at end of life because of this virus, so I am truly blessed.

So sorry for the loss of your cat. How lovely to have such a caring vet and a special moment.
Holding you in my heart
 
For years my kids have always carried an emergency 10 Franc note in their school bags.
And today the 15 year old had an emergency that required her to spend it.

A boy in her class keeps bees, and talks about them a lot.
He was very excited becasue at the weekend he was going to collect his first ever lot of honey.
He collected the honey, bottled it up, and today bought some in to school to sell.
He had to save up for his bee equipment, and pays for everything himself.

My daughter decided a jar of fresh local honey was worth spending the emergency 10 Francs on.
It was a very good decision :drool: :drool:
