I have been given the job of checking there is still food in the feeders. Although I can\u2019t get up to them to check it\u2019s quite easy. If there are some bits dropped underneath I know there\u2019s still food for them to throw out. If the ground has no little morsels for me to pick up then they must need refilling. I can be relied to check on them every time I go out, so the system works quite well.<\/p>\n<p>I was delighted to be part of the book drop off yesterday and meet one of our authors. She\u2019s a lovely lady who writes stories for national magazines. She writes really nice stories which make people happy and that\u2019s a very good thing to do. What was funny was that she and her husband were as excited to meet me as I was to meet them. I sometimes forget I\u2019m a celebrity in my own right, with books published under my own name. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve sold nearly as many as she has, but I\u2019m the head of the company too so that gives me an added string to my bow.<\/p>\n<p>My maternal human grandparents will be arriving this afternoon so we\u2019re very excited. Shadow and Megan aren\u2019t so bothered but Ari and I know we\u2019ll be spoilt rotten while they are here. I\u2019m close to Granny and Ari is close to Grandpa so we are both kept happy. Shadow says she\u2019s ok with it as she\u2019s very excited about seeing James on Tuesday as she hasn\u2019t seen him for four months. I hope he\u2019s ready to be thoroughly licked!<\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>It seems word has been going round the bird world very quickly and the number and variety of birds visiting our feeders is increasing almost <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2013\/09\/15\/sunday-15th-september-2012-birds\/\" title=\"Sunday 15th September 2013 &#8211; Birds\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[63,48,27,58,8],"class_list":["post-8039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-family","tag-aristotle","tag-business-2","tag-shadow","tag-wildlife","tag-writing","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8039","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
