London’s St Paul’s cathedral in the sunshine. It is lovely spring day :)
London's St. Paul's Cathedral : Bucket list item #2,955.

As child, I LOVED the song in the Mary Poppins movie that Julie Andrews sang (LOVE Julie Andrews!) about the bird woman feeding the pigeons around St. Paul's Cathedral...I still love that song. :):<3::<3::<3::<3::<3::<3:

I would sing it for you, but I like having you around...;)

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. :( This cat is evil. It has taken too many birds in our garden. I went out and sprinkled half a pot of chilli powder in the bush. Hopefully that will deter it.

Meanwhile, it’s still feathers and fluff being brought into the nest box... That’s in a cat safe position
Cats hate water and being wet. If you use a hose pipe the cat should learn to avoid your garden.:)

Good mornooning, roommates!
Russian day for me. Daughter will be performing with a balalaika orchestra at two festivals in late May (Malmö, Sweden)-early June (Århus, Denmark). The association discovered a duet of tiny 5- and 6-year-olds goes well as a festival number. [emoji85][emoji23]
Ooohhhh sounds like fun. You must be a very proud Mama.

I hope the chilli powder works. Naughty cat. [emoji83]
Moth balls sprinkled around in the flower beds is supposed to work keeping chickens out. I wonder if it would work on cats? Also, if you scatter fresh orange and lemon peels or spray with citrus-scented fragrances. Coffee grounds, vinegar, pipe tobacco, or oil of lavender, lemongrass, citronella, or eucalyptus also deter cats. Plant the herb rue to repel cats, or sprinkle dried rue over the garden.

Sounds like a plan for Linda.

Nothing repels cats, in my experience! :(
