This week, we have been mostly dealing with this kind of caper:
In other news, I don’t know whether it’s a Weird Moon, whether the planets have aligned themselves in some unique way, never up be repeated again, or perhaps some other mystical force is at work here? But we appear to have solved a long-running Château mystery this week.
The mystery relates to the bird feeder and the fact that its fixing is buckled and coming away from the fence. Obviously it doesn’t help that Cat Daddy has now spent far more money on booster devices to deter the parakeets than he ever spent on the original apparatus, so it’s much heavier than it was when he bought it. But he was convinced that some beast larger than the goldfinches had been leaning on it and/or trying to rip it off the fence.

Anyway, one fine morning, our weekend house guest managed to capture this:

We have never seen Louis Catorze do this before. And, if I had ten Châteaux, I would bet the whole darned lot of them on him never being caught doing it again.
Next week’s mystery: how has our creeper, which once obscured the whole fence, suddenly fallen down in this one area?

Oh. Never mind.
