I told you that bees had moved into the bird nest box in the garden. Well, we think those particular bees may have moved out again but they didn\u2019t leave us a note so we don\u2019t know why. Not to worry as we seem to have two more lots of bees who have moved in. It\u2019s definitely not the same bees as these ones are bigger and fluffier than the ones that were in the nest box. Some are living under the tiles of the office roof and some seem to be living near one of the bedroom windows. Thankfully it\u2019s a window we don\u2019t open so they are welcome to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video Short<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This little video was made by someone in memory of their dog. Mum watched it and said it reminded her of our Alfie. She was crying quite a bit as she said it. When he was younger he would take care of us all and then as he got old it became my job to curl up with him and give him comfort. Anyway, it\u2019s so lovely that she though you might enjoy seeing it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Companion | Stop-motion short film (2020) | Walton &amp; Helliwell Animations\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hObMRyHtylg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shadow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After I\u2019ve been doing the video meets as Shadow says she can\u2019t climb onto the settee, she has given the game away. Every evening, when it\u2019s just her and Dad in the office, she gets up onto the settee without any difficulty. It turns out she just doesn\u2019t feel like having to talk to lots of strangers even on Zoom. I don\u2019t mind as I love it. I\u2019m doing another one today and I think I\u2019ve got to set some more up too. If I can\u2019t meet them all in person then video is the next best thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Our attempts to keep the bees happy may be going too far, at least as far as some of them are concerned.  <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,150],"tags":[109,50,12,27,93],"class_list":["post-17464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-wildlife","tag-alfie","tag-entlebucher","tag-gardening","tag-shadow","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
