    It's heartening to hear that things are  progressing so smoothly, and must have made things so much easier for DD.   
    It sounds as though your house has been turned into a home and the bird antics sound hilarious (I can't imagine what they're doing with the coconut shells, but if you find out please tell us!) 
    I'm so glad that things are working out for you.  X
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    It's completely breaking my brain! I'm going to hang another one out tonight and then sit and watch them to see what happens!

    There's a crow that unhooks the fat ball feeders from the pole in our garden. It throws them on the floor then flies down to eat from them.

    This is exactly what the crows do in my mum’s garden - they are so clever! I think I read somewhere that they have comparable problem solving skills to a 5 year old child

    I'm trying to get to the stage where they bring us presents because my daughter read about them bringing them to people who feed them regularly

    I'd like to read your diary from the very beginning. Can someone tell me if there's a way to jump to the first page, other than going back one page at a time? KA

    Thanks, but the only page number that I can see is the current one, 152. Other than that number, there are just the symbols indicating previous or next posts. KA
