Such a handsome fellow! [emoji7]
Cool. What grade is she in?
That’s the Millennium Footbridge that crosses in front of the Tate Modern art gallery which was Bankside Power Station until the late 1980s (I had an interview there
)When it opened, it was really wobbly with loads of people on it so it was promptly closed and structural engineers had to correct the architects mistakes!
Cats hate water and being wet. If you use a hose pipe the cat should learn to avoid your garden.
We have a hose pipe ban more often than not
A super soaker water gun is effective, but this particular cat is pure determined evil.

You could plant lots of Rosemary in your yard, especially the areas that the birds like.Good morning all. It’s foggy right now, but the sun is fighting through.
Our robins were sat on the fence looking very agitated and then I spotted a ginger cat in the bush where they’re building the nest.
Meanwhile, it’s still feathers and fluff being brought into the nest box... That’s in a cat safe position
Cats hate the smell of them.
I’m not so optimistic. Once a cat is determined to keep coming somewhere, very little can make him change his mind.
The only thing that I found effective in my life with a cat was a little Santa figure playing the annoying high-pitch version of Jingle Bells. We used it when the cat, still very young then, decided to chew on electric cords rather than his chew toys. That Santa scarred him for life: He grew up to hate Christmas.
It also stopped him from chewing the cords and getting electrocuted.
The other thing is — Sabine will hate me now — is the little ultrasonic cat/dog repeller. It’s pretty effective but doesn’t seem to work on deaf animals. (EDIT: Please don’t ask me how I know...)
Her science project looks good.
Oh dear.That’s the Millennium Footbridge that crosses in front of the Tate Modern art gallery which was Bankside Power Station until the late 1980s (I had an interview there

Hmmmm. Maybe it needs exorcising!!We have a hose pipe ban more often than not

She won 2nd place in chemistry for all grades. 4th-8th
Oh wow. Well done.
Great job... on her way to lead NASA!
Wow...after a long cold below average temp Winter to Spring... two days here back-to-back of 85 degree F days (30C) has us pooped working in the garden. The high temps have also brought the quick demise of our Spring flowering daffodils. We found a few hidden in our shaded woods that needed a quick pick!

A good evening from me.
Tomorrow we head to to Salisbury Plain (where Stone Henge is)
We are going on a special trip to try to see Great Bustards. These birds are very scarce and there is a small colony in the middle of the military zone on the plain. My daughter bought us tickets as a present for a special tour (on a day when the army isn’t practicing) to go and see them.
Today daughter and her friend got the keys to the flat they’re renting together. So we have filled our car with furniture (it’s a Volvo Estate car - station wagon type thing) and other items. We will take those to her flat after the trip.
Then JoesDad will come home and I am staying until Tuesday. The girls have arranged a number of deliveries for Monday, so I am staying there and answering the door. Not exactly riveting, especially as they have no internet yet, but I have paperwork to wade through for a meeting on Thursday. I’ll go home by train on Tuesday.

Sounds like fun, good luck on the #Bustard sightings...
