shiny, shiny, bad times behind me

Stuck on tight with sticky tape.



Seen on the way to the Salt Mines.

Keeps the cats out, I reckon. Ever see a cat wearing aluminium foil boots?

You could be right! I didn't notice any cats about when I took that photo, nor any other day when I walked past.

I will say though, that the thought of kitties sharpening their claws on that foil is giving me the horrors.

That's just really weird. I actually think I would take it off, poor sauna-bound trees!

p.s hoblench is the most interesting spam-preventing word I've ever had to type.

I've seen councils put up more serious metal skins on trees - and once on all the eucalypts in a koala park - this looks like a homemade version by a private citizen.

Hmmm, I didn't consider animal deterrent, I was thinking it was for some sort of community christmas festivities. Now I feel compelled to go and check if it is still there (which may have to wait until the 4th, because, you know, effort).

I also feel compelled to look up hoblench (oooh, is a place).
