survival means we often have to be in awkward positions.

we dont have squirrels here in Karachi

Very unlucky to be bitten by a squirrel, they are timid but good there were no consequences. Grey squirrels are seen as 'vermin' in the uk but they are still part of nature. Many thanks Pia.

I am envious of your garden, John. There's so much of nature's beauty and drama going on in it. Loved the senryu. The squirrel must be so cute.

Ha but grey squirrels are vermin Divya, they have chased the red squirrels away. But I still think them cute. Thieving little blighters would steal all of the bird food if I didn't take precautions. Many thanks.

I'd have never guessed. Thanks for the interesting information John. It was a pleasure!
