3 weeks eh?
Sheesh!

The pretendies were here today when I was still in hospital.
Nadi filled the bird feeders up.
She likes the little birds, not the wood pigeons and magpies.
When I got home, it was to find that Nadi and Jacob had used the pressure washer on them.
Jacob, who is autistic, had put a doughnut and some chocolate out for the little birds.
Littlies are lovely.

Being Autistic, his lines of thought are very direct.
Doughnuts and chocolate are his favourite foods at the moment so he put them out for the birds.
He has also been known to put Coca Cola out for them to drink.

Do I have to advertise it to them somehow?
There are hundreds of birds around as there are many trees and 2 woods around the estate but no takers for nuts!!!
