It's crazy making stuff, and now I walk past them as quickly as I can. Which is terribly ungracious as I do appreciate their efforts. Still, even I will agree to only be freaked out to an extent bearable.<br /><br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-8073515950051668922017-12-17T19:15:49.300+00:002017-12-17T19:15:49.300+00:00I must admit the stilt walkers one threw me a bit ...I must admit the stilt walkers one threw me a bit - almost as unnerving as clowns...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-4752752475536562122017-12-17T17:14:13.642+00:002017-12-17T17:14:13.642+00:00Liz: Must admit I'm not partial to dogs, thoug...Liz: Must admit I'm not partial to dogs, though some of them are lovely to look at - like Airedale terriers and Pyrenean mountain dogs.

The only thing I positively dislike on your two lists are "squirrels"; unless, of course, you mean the red, now rare, variety. They are lovely. Think Beatrix Potter. The common grey, and frankly a pest in any self respecting gardener's paradise, are no more than rats with bushy tails. If it were possible to hate an animal I'd definitely hate grey squirrels. Though as currently I do not have a garden my dislike of them has considerably lessened. Funny old world, don't you think, Nick?<br /><br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-66217598094655436392017-12-17T08:48:25.663+00:002017-12-17T08:48:25.663+00:00Come on, somebody tell me they can't stand pea...Come on, somebody tell me they can't stand peacocks, that they run a mile the moment they see one....nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-25087552589394308712017-12-17T08:46:49.863+00:002017-12-17T08:46:49.863+00:00www: You and me both!
