One theory is it's to mask their own scent.

Throwback to their wolfish origins.

I guess if you're a wolf smelling like a fox makes hunting a little easier.

At least until you recruit humans to dish the grub up for you :)
That’s what I’ve heard. I wish she’d pack it in because it absolutely buzzes and if it gets on the furniture then there’s no getting rid of the smell. I shampoo her twice to be sure to be sure.

Finished binge watching Season 10 of AHS. That has to be the crappest season of the lot! Quite disappointing, even with Lily Rabe in a lead role for a change.

It does indeed "buzz".

Strangely foxes like to take a dump on runway lights in the winter, apparently 'cos they're warm (the lights that is).

We've pissed them off by installing Led lights.

And I annoy the leccy techies when I refer to them as lights - apparently they're lamps! :)

I haven’t played a round for a couple of years as I got bored again. But I was known to not be tolerant of slow players ahead of me and would allow them to play their second shots, walk off and then I’d try to go over them. I loved to hit a long ball and made the UK finals of the American Golf long drive competition about 5 years ago in the over 45s section. Sadly, it was held at 2 venues over different weekends and I was abroad on holiday and couldn’t attend. ‘I could have been a contender‘ :(

Went to Manchester German Market this afternoon and stayed into the evening.

Pleasant time, bought some alpaca socks for my wife and had a beer -, son had a stein of beer.
Folks generally wearing masks around the market and totally in the shops.
What did surprise me was noticing the street bar serving drinks in glasses that didn't appear to have been completely cleaned.
That started me thinking..... Exactly what cleaning of glasses etc is needed to protect from covid in pubs & restaurants etc?

Despite the lack of enthusiasm I put the Xmas lights up on the front of the house….turned out to be worth it as a little lad walked by with his mum almost the moment I finished and was enthralled.

Easy to forget Xmas isn’t a time for kids, but I suppose if they get some pleasure from it that’s a bonus.
