I've never ever seen a red squirrel.
Ha! At last my claim to fame! I visited Brownsea Island once, and there saw a red squirrel. Very cute, and I haven't gone 'ah!' at a grey one since.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I see British-sounding tourists oohing and aahing over the tree rats in NY sometimes.
...y'know, I also go 'aw, bless!' over the ickle filthy black mice in the tube stations. They're so wee! My friend assures me that they're rats, very small rats, but I'm okay with that. Big rats - not so good. Teeny weeny ones scampering around under the train tracks - fine by me. Until they all come pouring onto the platform and surge towards me baying for blood, at which point the cuteness thing will start to wear thin.

Fortunatly, this doesn't happen often. And never to people who've jumped through chalk drawings in the pavement recently.

There are no squirrels here.
But most pizza isn't vegan, Nilly, (unless I'm misunderstanding you) because the cheese makes it dairy. Most pizza in Israel is vegetarian.
No, Jess, my mistake - I meant 'vegetarian', and thought the shortcut meant the same. Thanks for correcting me. So 'vegan' means 'contains nothing that comes from anything alive' (milk, eggs and the like included)? Or, as my vegetarian sister likes to call it 'nothing that is related in any way to being a mama'? Because if I'm correct this time, I don't think there's anything like 'vegan' pizza in Israel at all.

Thanks, Fay.
My last sentence (even though it was written in ignorance) is still correct: most of Israeli pizzas are vegetarian, none are vegan.
Now you know way more incorrect information about a non-local food than you probably ever wanted to know...

American Robins are different? Coo. We had a robin in our garden last winter. Penny was terribly excited about it, and gushed. It seems our cat overheard, because she left the robin next to her food bowl the next morning as a present for P....

That's so kind of your cat. And think, in the long run, the robins will get smarter!

The American one is bigger and showier, but the English one is cuter. And more nostalgia-inspiring. I'm not sure about the redness of the breast from this picture, though.

....er, or possibly you meant this kind of American Robin
