squirrel 12 December 2010
I’ve been watching a squirrel all week from my window and he’s some worker, always very VERY busy. He leaps from tree to tree like a monkey and darts about the ground with great purpose. He is grey but seems to be quite red along his back and into his seriously bushy tail. He is a veh good-looking, furry fella. Could be a SHE squirrel, of course, and my apologies to her if so. He’s was out and about in the snow and yesterday the thaw had got great grip on his manor and he was all over it then too. But no sign at all today. It’s frosty and maybe he just couldn’t face work – happens to even the best of squirrels, I’m guessing. Or perhaps he observes a Sunday rule of some sort? answers on the back of a fifty pound note please…
