Feeding a bunch of hungry hummingbirds in Northern California. 6 feeders need about a pound of sugar a day.

Sitting at Caloundra Sunshine Coast, Queensland with one cat who we hardly see. This tavern is 5 minutes walk from the sit. Sitting is soooo tough.

Just remember someone has to do it @Crookie 
. And it beats being at home for you!!
I had a sit in San Diego that included refreshing the hummingbird feeders. I was surprised by how many kept turning up. I never thought about feeding them before and was surprised by how easy it was, at least with that HO. She told me to just mix sugar and water in a giant mixing bowl.

Another first for me, during a sit I just wrapped up: feeding squirrels.
This one liked to eat to-go every day, even though he had a table reserved for him.
He also liked to climb on the screen door in a ploy to earn more nuts. The HO told me to not encourage such antics, though.

@Crookie - now that’s what I call sitting. Sitting in the sunshine with a fabulous view and a glass of champagne (or two).
My view is of a real ‘pea souper’. For those unfamiliar with the term it means a really thick fog/mist.

That’s so adorable @Maggie8K 
We just arrived in our favourite city in the world, Amsterdam.
We are here for a month-long sit, enjoying the city whilst caring for the lovely Luna

@Crookie Teddy looks very relaxed and is considerate, allowing you to enjoy the Sunshine Coast where I believe the sun is shining 
. Could you send some of that down south please???
Gorgeous. Lucky you.
