Hot Weather and Raspberries.

The one being the cause of the other. Thunder is spending much of his day lately lying under the fruit-laden raspberry bushes, relaxing as they ripen and waiting for some fool starling to descend to eat raspberries. At which time the bushes will part abruptly and a large cat will hurtle upwards, paws swinging, grabbing for a starling. He doesn’t get them usually – although a number must have just about had heart attacks – but it certainly keeps them on their toes. Him too come to that. It’s a perfect illustration of Darwinism.
