I think it’s about time I set myself another goal and go out again on my own, a repeat trip to Clapham Common I think. Although not quite yet, I keep getting recurring ankle pain so I may have to wait a tad longer. I've been on quite right downer the past few days but I’m feeling much more like myself again now. Although not entirely, I still have very little wish for company and feel some what emotionally detached right now. Receiving a delightful postcard from my dear sweet friend Esmy helped flick a light back on, I hope she can join me once again in England this year. I love her dearly.

Yesterday was quite nice, I went with my brother to buy in some pet supplies (I have a lot of pets... mostly mice). After we had finished shopping we went to Walpole Park for a sit down and a drink. There's this bench I like surrounded by trees and quite out the way, so we sat there. It seems to be the place the crows live, that park has more crows than Pigeons by far (I'm not sure why that is).I think being surrounded by crows (sometimes quite literally) puts people off sitting on my favourite bench but it doesn’t bother me in the least (though I'm sometimes wary of them). What is nice about sitting there a part from the fact it's out of the way is the fact there's lots of Squirrels, very bold friendly ones, which will come right up to you. I adore Squirrels. This day was no expectation quite a few Squirrels started appearing, and I ended up sharing half the treat bars I had brought for my mice with some of them. They seemed quite hungry. There was one particular squirrel that seemed to me in need of a good meal. He had a great big patch of missing hair around his back and middle; on closer inspection it appears he may have undergone some kind of operation quite recently. This could well be the case for there is a small wildlife rescue and hospital located in the park. So heart warningly friendly was this little Squirrel. I feed three Squirrels in total and gave some crows the crumbs seeing they were good enough not to steal from the squirrels or attack the baby squirrel, even though they surrounded my fury friends as they ate their lunch. Soon as I gave some crumbs to the crows they increased in number quite considerably, there must have been at least 50 of them. A few pigeons joined the ranks of hopefuls as well. It was time to leave the mass of little people behind then and head home.

Last night some sillies made a bonfire too close to their garden fence and managed to set it a light. It was a very big fire but thankfully it didn't spread to other people’s gardens because the firemen got to work quickly. The amount of smoke released in the air outside was quite something. Thankfully by then I had remembered my bedroom windows were open and had gone upstairs to close them but certainly left a fair smell in my room all the same.

Working on two youtube videos right now, almost finished one.
