None left for us

We have several Hazel bushes on our perimeter, but we never get to enjoy the nuts because the squirrels take them while they are still green. The drive is littered with the evidence, they have enjoyed a feast.
Work resumed on the refurbishment of the patio. The Polish boss Peter left his worker here all day on his own, and all day he was on his knees repointing between the concrete pavers. He speaks little English and he had his ears plugged delivering music. I offered him coffee and he said no - that was the extent of our communication! But he has a lovely smile!
