The Grey Squirrel runs more freely about the place here than they do even in London, which would be immensely vexing were it not for the fact that I am with a Very Dear Man and Splendid Host who has Magical Powers. All he has to do is point at squirrels and they are Immobilised, as demonstrated in this splendid photograph. (He is also good at Scrabble and knowing where bars with ostriches on the wall can be found.)
But that is not all on the rats-with-tails front. There is a strange kind of Grey Squirrel that has been drained of colour. He lollops about with his equally weird Albino Twin Squirrel Brother in the local park. Here he is. Can YOU see him in this picture? Look carefully!
Right. I'm off to see some beavers. And maybe some penguins.

Penguins? Did you put that in to see if we were paying attention?
Monkeyfriends are very glad to hear you are being well looked after. All will be well and all will be well and all manner of things will be well, innit x
There is snow! Lucky monkey. Are you keeping toasty?
North American squirrels are far more aggressive than proper British squirrels. Was telling my maternal unit about this. Let us just say that her impression of a British squirrel speaking was er um...spot on. Good thing your friend has hypnotic powers over the wee rodents.
Pants! I know you are always paying attention! I would never just slip in a penguin thinking it would go unnoticed.
Julian? How is Norwich this time of year?
MM - yes THANK YOU mainly because of your LENDINGS. Also in the Canada the central heating is Excellent - not too hot, not too cold; where we are, the small radiators at ankle height. It is -13 today! This is not a Joke!
Martina, I think he has hypnotic powers over all things. I think he may be trying it out on someone at work who insists on instant coffee today. Fair cop, frankly.
NWM - no showing off please. But, on the other hand, could you tell me why she was called Julian of Norwich?
I saw 'Happy Feet' with my progeny @ the weekend. I now totally heart penguins. I am willing to believe they live anywhere because they are so kewl.
