Got up this morning, took the mutts out for their morning constitutionals. As we were enjoying the last of the golden hour, I noticed a funny looking stick, glistening in the rays. Then it clicked, it was the fecking Pine Caterpillars. We all did a quick turn about and made a b-line for the HQ. To only find another "train" of caterpillars right below the door step. We somehow not spotted then as we stepped out. Might not be a snake, but I still call them nope sticks. So morning run from there was canned. Found another picnic parking among orange and almond trees, but sadly this place was becoming a dump, totally neglected and overgrown and with overflowing bins with cats crawling around. Along with the farmer next door starting up a very smoky fire. So we move on again... And that was clearly why I was late, about 800 years, to come and help King James I, with the upkeep of this castle ;)

@woollypigs hate them! Though this year we haven't seen much here in Lisbon, might be that the weather helped
@andniz Here in Spanish Spain they are out all the time it seems, saw some crawling about in early January. What happened to a few weeks in spring. And they are comit out in September and October too and found their way all the way up to Denmark too.
