Decided Charlie and I would spend the afternoon in the garden playing with Da Mouse. Ha who was I kidding, between the neighbourhood bully cat and the Blackbird parents, no peace was to be had. When I wasn't fending off the bully cat from Charlie I was trying to save the Blackbird parents from it and from Charlie too. Decided to call it a day and bemoan our fate on here. Those parent birds are soooo stupid. They have built their nest and are raising their young from the lower branches of a tree which sits in the path of some 20 neighbourhood cats. If any of the babies reach maturity it will be a miracle.
