Animals seem to rule the roost around here. Our downstairs neighbour has two cats. They don't seem to like each other too much. Over the past weekend there was no-one in downstairs and it seems that Mia couldn't quite deal with the loneliness and really wanted to get in to the apartment. She held the above pose for a good minute or so, but sadly for her it didn't do the job and she stayed outside until the neighbours returned.
Closely behind the cats are the squirrels. At any one time when you glance out the window at least one or two will be chasing each other around trying their best to beat the other to the next buckeye (what we in Europe might call a conker, also not to be confused with the Ohio State Buckeyes, the name of the college athletic teams here at OSU). Hope that's clear. With the recent drop in temperature the noise from the cicadas seems to have dropped off. You never really seemed to see them, just hear their ferocious chatter in amongst the blades of grass. Check the Wikipedia link and you too can enjoy that same chatter!
Finally, those at a loose end tonight in the Bristol area could do a lot worse than get down to the Fleece and check out the wonderful Kurt Vile and the Violators. For a taster, you can go here. If I were there, I'd be going, but I'm not, so I'm not.
That is an excellent cat photo!
ReplyDeleteJust listened to cicada's link on wikipedia - that is v annoying. Glad it's got a bit quieter! I also agree that is an excellent cat photo - I would have been tempted to let it in though!
ReplyDeleteBy the way that last comment was from me, although it says unknown - Becky x
ReplyDeleteBecky, I've got kind of use to you being unknown on here! It is a pretty nice cat, but I don't think we're too keen to let her in, so as to not be able to let her out again!
