Daily life with Mandi: Pretzel enjoys a large grape

Why is it when batties chew with their mouth open and it's absolutely adorable, but when humans do it it's gross? Ki, who helps Mandi with the fruit chopping, and who feeds Pretzel nightly, has bought a new warm and very furry vest; Pretzel adores it. Pretzel thoroughly enjoys her large grape, totally experiencing every last bit of deliciousness until it was spent. And then she evicts a perfect spat which bears the imprint of her palate, teeth and tongue. I love it when the batties start chewing slowly with with almost meditated intent, preparatory to ejecting their spats. Mandi sent me some vid footage of the Strawberry Moon, with the freeloaders arriving and leaving the buffet. I threw in some footage of Mandi's commuting to work; providing the tracks aren't too boggy, work is 10 minutes away through the farm and into the farm behind. If the tracks are impassable, it takes her half an hour by road. Thanks Mandi for the footage which is given in thanks for the continuing donations which help support the fruit costs for her bats. Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for Mandi. https://tolgabathospital.org/donate/ Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to Mandi If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for Mandi. IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the AMOUNT DONATED and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt. If you specify the amount donated, it makes it heaps easier for Jenny to find the donation. The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie. Here’s Jenny’s email. [email protected]
