Hi all, nice to read some holiday stories.

Deb, if cats are catching blackbirds, sparrows, pidgeons, starlings, Indian myna's then no need to rush for the hose as they are all destructive non native birds. The less of those the better.

Happy new year to everyone. 

Thanks Kopes... I still let them have it with the hose. They sort of know that catching birds is a bit of a no-no around here.... much as they can't help themselves at times

Happy New Year to you also... we're in the final days of 2018 now

just watching the news here... so many drownings through Dec.

Well neither do I Deb...

Maybe I came across as a bit flippant.

Unfortunately the summer heat makes ppl want to cool down by going swiimming, and fatalities will occur.

why, yes, you're right! people do go swimming over summer
